3.3.1. Allowing Joining
R outer
Routers and end devices can be configured to join any ZigBee PAN, or to only join a PAN with a
certain PAN ID. However, they must always find a coordinator or router that is allowing joins.
Figure 3‐04. Joining a PAN
Once a joining device (router or end device) discovers a device operating on a valid ZigBee
network that is allowing joining, it attempts to join the PAN by sending an association request to
that device.
The coordinator and all routers can allow new routers and end devices to join to them. Whether or
not a particular coordinator or router will allow a new device to join depends upon two things:
Permit-Joining Attribute
The coordinator and all routers have a permit-joining attribute. This attribute on a coordinator
and any joined routers can be configured to always allow joins, allow joins for a short time, or to
not allow any more joins. In order for a new device to join the network, this attribute must be set
on a nearby device such that joins are enabled.
End Device Children
Since end devices rely on their parent router or coordinator to buffer incoming RF packets, the
coordinator and each router can support a finite number of end device children. Once that number
of end devices has joined a particular router or coordinator, the device can no longer allow end
devices to join to it.
