Thread Boarder Router Test explained in guide not working.

I am following https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/sdk_tz_v4.1.0/thread_border_router.html  with raspberry pi 3B+ and NRF52840DK as NCP for boarder router connected over UART (Jlink USB Port) and another NRF52840DK  with Thread CLI example for test  boarder router. After power ON raspberry pi after few seconds LED1 blinks for few seconds and stay steady after that.

On NRF52840DK with CLI firmware after thread start command LED1 blinks for 1-2 seconds and stays steady afterwords but I am not able to get ping response.

After that I tried with Thread topology manger and NRF52840 with Thread CLI Hex no thread device found.

01:40:18.146	Boot up Thread Topology Monitor
01:40:21.755	Serial port COM9 has been successfully opened.
01:40:24.872	Successfully verified Thread CLI device.

01:40:49.136	Error - No response from Thread CLI device.
01:41:06.125	Error - No response from Thread CLI device.

I am using latest OTBR image RaspPi_OT_Border_Router_Demo_v4.1.0-1.alpha, CLI and NCP hex from nRF5_SDK_for_Thread_and_Zigbee_v4.1.0_32ce5f8  SDK and nRF_TTM-win32-x64_0.13.0 forThread topology manager. 

So how to debug this or any suggestion to get ping done.

Another thing I want to ask is I want to measure current consumption of sleepy end device in thread network and latency to/from message between SED and FTD for evaluation purpose. Can anyone guide me as I am new to thread, how can be setup made for both tests in terms of required number of DK with which example Hex file and anything else required in setup I do have power profiler kit so that I can do that but I need help in thread network setup for both test.
