Range issue in Zigbee

[hariprasad_anum]

We are evaluating range problem in of our zigbee products 

For setting the Transmit Power we are using the below API and for enabling external PA we are configuring the below GPIOs

    vInitialiseApp ();

    // Set Power to 4dBm

    eAppApiPlmeSet(PHY_PIB_ATTR_TX_POWER, 4);

    /* Initialise output PA */

       GPIO_PinInit(GPIO, APP_BOARD_TEST_GPIO_PORT, 0, &pa_config);

       GPIO_PinInit(GPIO, APP_BOARD_TEST_GPIO_PORT, 4, &pa_config);

       GPIO_WritePinOutput(GPIO, APP_BOARD_TEST_GPIO_PORT, 0, 0);

       GPIO_WritePinOutput(GPIO, APP_BOARD_TEST_GPIO_PORT, 4, 1);

But we are not seeing any range improvement with the above configuration.

Are we missing any other settings /API invocations  ? 

Please clarify

Hi Hariprasad, I hope you're doing well!

There's an Application Note available on the ZigBee 3.0 page for JN devices which provides a tool for placing the JN516x modules into different test modes, including a test for Tx power.

Could you please take a look at this application note? It can be found as JN-AN-1172.

Please let me know if you need any more information.

Best regards,

Sebastian
