How to connect nordic ZigBee with Digi's XBee module?

[Bhavit Rajput]

I want to connect the nordic ZigBee with Digi's XBee module. 

I have configured the Digi XBee pro s2c module as coordinator and nordic as a router but they are not communicating.

Which parameters should I configure to get this work?

I have configured the Digi XBee pro s2c module as coordinator and nordic as a router but they are not communicating.

 Did the Nordic device join the network at all? If not, what channel is the XBee operating on, and what channel did you set up the Nordic device to use?

Does the XBee device require any install codes (ICs) to join the network?

I don't know much about XBee, so I'll just assume that it is a normal Zigbee device.

Best regards,

Yes, XBee module requires install codes.

nordic sdk is 4.1.0.

Have you tried to sniff the connection? You can use the nRF Sniffer for 802.15.4. The IC is a valid IC (the CRC checks out). Perhaps it is not the correct IC that the coordinator is expecting? Do you have any other devices that is able to join the network? If so, can you sniff one of them joining the network as well, so I can compare the two?

Wireshark file is attached of 2 XBee modules those are connecting.

Wireshark file is attached of nordic router and XBee modules those are having connection issue.

Hello,

What IDE are you using? The reason I ask is that I need to look at the network trace log from one of the Nordic devices when they try to connect. These are generated using the debug zboss library, but the ones attached in the SDK has a bug. So I need to know what debug zboss file that you need to use.

Can you please try to follow the description from the section: "Using CLI to controll lighting devices" from here.

Use the command "bdb legacy enable", or the equivalent implementation, using:

zb_bdb_set_legacy_device_support(1);

Does that change anything?

Thanks, Edvin,

Now it is working.
