How to see the discovered networks during network steering on Zigbee end device

I eventually figured out the issue. The Zigbee Coordinator was sending beacon responses indicating associations were disabled. This is because upon joining, the End Device sends the permit join message with a limited permit duration. I was unaware that support was taken away from setting 0xFF as the permit duration to indicate leaving the network open permanently.

Thank you for response! Could you provide more details on the discovery channel? What specifically is this called in the code? Is it available in zdo_commissioning_bdb.c?

Hello,

[quote user=""]Is there a way I can see all discovered networks in network steering?[/quote]

This information is found in the discovery channel duing join/rejoin processes.

[quote user=""]Additionally, if my network is not being discovered, I'm wondering if the ZC is not responding to the beacon requests from my ZED during network discovery. If this is the case, is there any way to see some more details from the ZED on beacon requests being sent/beacon responses being received?[/quote]

You could do a sniffer trace of the traffic to check if the ZC is responding to the beacon requests from the ZED. If you want us to also look at the sniffer traces, please follow our instructions for 802.15.4 sniffing here and upload the trace as a .pcap file and share the network key with us so we can decrypt it.

Best regards,
