Frequently asked questions

What are the three logical device types in a ZigBee network?

The three logical device types are Coordinator, Router, and End‑device.

Can a Coordinator join an existing ZigBee network?

No. A Coordinator can only create its own network and cannot join an existing one.

Which compile option defines the maximum number of simultaneous route discoveries?

The compile option MAX_RREQ_ENTRIES sets the number of simultaneous route discoveries in the network.

What is the purpose of this Z‑Stack 3.0 Developer's Guide?

It explains the components of the Texas Instruments ZigBee stack, configurable parameters, and how developers can modify them for their applications.
