Log zigbee coordinator joining mode

[inv4]

How can I log on a router when a coordinator is in pairing mode, what I mean is that the coordinator sends a message so the routers know and set them selfs up on pairing mode too, so that if the device thats trying to join the network could do it through a router, I want to log this signal.

 Hi,

There is no "pairing" in Zigbee. The process of attaching a new node in a network is called "commissioning". A node who wants to join a network will first discover if there is a network available to join using a beacon request, and the nodes in the vecinity will answer with a beacon response. In this beacon response there is a frame who will let the joining node know if the network is open for joining or not.

I recommend you read about Commissioning in the Zigbee Base Device Behaviour specification and also about support for Zigbee commissioning in our infocenter.

You can also set up two Zigbee examples: zigbee_light_bulb example and zigbee_light_coordinator example and sniff the commissioning process using the nRF Sniffer for 802.15.4 to see how the commissioning process takes place.

Best regards,
