How to get short PAN Id of coordinator?

[anusha_14]

Hello Nordic support,

I am using nRF5 SDK for a Zigbee coordinator application. In zboss_api.h, I see that there are functions for setting short pan id (zb_set_pan_id()), long address (zb_set_long_address()) and extended pan id (zb_set_extended_pan_id()). In addition, I see that there are functions for getting long address (zb_get_long_address()) and extended pan id (zb_get_extended_pan_id()). However, there is no function to get the short pan id. How can I get the short pan id used by the coordinator?

My use case is this: When there is a pan id conflict, I can call zb_start_pan_id_conflict_resolution(), which I believe, changes the short pan id of the coordinator and sends a network update command to all devices in the network. I would like to know what is the new short pan id used by the coordinator when pan id conflict is detected. Therefore, I would like to if there is a way to get the short pan id used by the coordinator.

Thanks,

Anusha

Hi

I am not a Nordic support, and I am not sure if my method is 100% correct but I have been using

ZB_PIBCACHE_PAN_ID() from zboss_api_nwk.h

it returns an unsigned short in hex. 

printf("PAN ID: 0x%04hx)",  ZB_PIBCACHE_PAN_ID());

in my case this prints  PAN ID: 0xd270

I hope this was helpful

Hi,

Using ZB_PIBCACHE_PAN_ID() as Garo Demergian does is the correct way to get the Pan ID of a device.

Best regards,
