IV Index update LPN

Hello,

What happens with the LPN firmware if it currently has an IV index of 0 and loses power for an extended period of time. When it gets power, the network that it is on has move all the way to IV index 2.

Will it be able to get a friend?

Will the friend be able to update the IV index of the LPN to 2?

Can the LPNs do an IV index recovery procedure like normal mesh nodes can?

  • Hi Brad, 
    Please have a look at section 3.10.6 IV Index Recovery procedure in the spec: 

    The Low Power Node if losing IV index update would need to listen for at least 5 seconds to catch the Secure Network Beacon. If it couldn't listen for such long, it should wake up at least once per 96 hours to get the update from the friend before the IV Update procedure finished.
