TABLE 3-10: ZigBee™ PROTOCOL NWK CONFIGURATION SELECTION
TABLE 3-11: ZigBee™ PROTOCOL MAC CONFIGURATION SELECTION
Configuration Option Description
Neighbor Table Size
(1)
All ZigBee™ protocol devices contain a neighbor table where they store information
about other nodes in the network.
Max Buffered Broadcast
Messages
When a ZigBee protocol device initiates or receives a broadcast message, it must
periodically retransmit that message until it hears all of its Full Function Device
neighbors retransmit the message or the message times out. Enter the number of
broadcast messages that the application is expected to process concurrently.
Route Discovery Table Size
(1)
If the device supports routing, it must have a route discovery table.
Routing Table Size
(1)
If the device supports routing, it must have a routing table.
Reserved Routing Table
Entries
(1)
If the device supports routing, it must reserve some of the routing table entries for
route repair.
Max Buffered Routing
Messages
If the device supports routing, it must be able to buffer messages while awaiting
route discovery. Enter the number of messages that can be concurrently buffered
awaiting route discovery.
Note 1: The minimum size of this item is specified in the selected profile. See Section 3.2.3 “Specifying Profile
and Endpoint Information”.
Configuration Option Description
Channel Energy Threshold This option is available for ZigBee™ protocol coordinators only. Enter the maximum
amount of energy allowable for a channel to be selected for a new network.
Minimum Join LQI This option is only available for devices other than ZigBee protocol coordinators.
Enter the minimum link quality from a received beacon for that device to be selected
as a potential place to join the network.
Transaction Persistence
(seconds)
This option is available for devices with children whose receivers are off when the
device is Idle and must buffer messages for those children until the children request
them. Enter the amount of time in seconds that messages must be buffered before
they can be discarded.
Receive Buffer Size As bytes are received from the transceiver, they are buffered until an entire message
is received and the application is finished processing the previous message. Enter
the size of this buffer.
Beacon Order
(1)
This value is fixed for non-beacon networks.
Superframe Order
(1)
This value is fixed for non-beacon networks.
Superframe Structure
(1)
Only non-beacon networks are supported; therefore, the superframe structure is
non-slotted.
Battery Life Extension
Mode
(1)
This feature is only used in beacon networks.
Note 1: The Microchip Stack for ZigBee protocol currently supports only non-beacon networks.
