  • Hi Alan

    1. - Yes, what the testing instructions says is correct.

        - There is not much security by default in these examples, so you would have to make your own. I would not count the PAN ID as a security measure as it is only a 2 byte ID.

    2. - I think commisioning and pairing in this case is the same thing. The commisioner in a Thread network is called Leader, and is the node sitting on all security information i.e. encrytpion keys and what nodes are allowed in the network.

        - The pairing process is whenever any server connects to any server in the Thread network. In this example you press a button on one server and one client node, to make them pair with each other. You can confirm pairing by seeing whether or not you can control BSP_LED_3 on the server node with a press of the clients BSP_BUTTON_0. A client node can only be paired with one server at a time, but you can change the server by repeating the pairing process with another server. (I will look more into security options, and get back to you when I have more information on the matter)

    3. - This link explains everything you need to know regarding border router for thread.

    Best regards,

    Simon

  • Thanks for your replay,

    you said commissioner in a thread network is leader and this leader start commisioning other device join to network. but in case of pairing server and client press button and pairing happens how its same as commissioning?

    1. Is this pairing is implemented for application purpose( ie you made any type application protocol for client server communication)?

    2. when leader starts commisioning when its stop?

    3. How to know the device joining in the network is right one or not?

    4.Is it any document regarding security at the time commisioning(ie. how to add security at the time joining one device to network)?

    5.In this example client pair to one server and control server. if we use unicast address for communication why we use this pairing?

    6. I want to send my payload in the thread network can you guide me how to achive this?
