Hi

Yes,I am working with  nRF5 SDK for Thread and Zigbee 4.1.0.  I have two problems. In order to reduce power consumption, I changed FTD mode to SED mode. First of all, I need masterkey mode for networking, but I found that this mode may not be successful. Secondly, after the successful Networking (boundary routing is used), I find that SED node communication will have a large delay, about 2-3 minutes.  I want to know why and how to modify it to avoid delay？ The example I refer to is “examples\multiprotocol\ble_thread\ble_thread_dyn_template”

Thank you.

Hello, 

My sincere apologies for the late reply. 

You should be able to set the masterkey using CLI, just make sure that you configure the parameters correctly i.e. PanID and XPanID have to be the same. No direct examples unfortunately. Note that if you change the xpanid eller network you will need to generate a new pskc. 

Kind regards,
