16-bit Network Addresses
64-bit Addresses
Zigbee supports device addressing and application layer addressing. Device addressing specifies
the destination address of the device a packet is destined to. Application layer addressing indicates
a particular application recipient, known as a Zigbee endpoint, along with message type fields
called cluster IDs.
The 802.15.4 protocol upon which the ZigBee protocol is built specifies two address types:
A 16-bit Network Address is assigned to a node when the node joins a network. The Network
Address is unique to each node in the network. However, Network Addresses are not static - it can
change.
The following two conditions will cause a node to receive a new Network Address:
ZigBee requires that data be sent to the 16-bit network address of the destination device. This
requires that the 16-bit address be discovered before transmitting data. See 3.2.3 Network
Address Discovery for more information.
Each node contains a unique 64-bit address. The 64-bit address uniquely identifies a node and is
permanent.
The ZigBee application layers define endpoints and cluster identifiers (cluster IDs) that are used to
address individual services or applications on a device. An endpoint is a distinct task or application
that runs on a ZigBee device, similar to a TCP port. Each ZigBee device may support one or more
endpoints. Cluster IDs define a particular function or action on a device. Cluster IDs in the ZigBee
home controls lighting profile, for example, would include actions such as “TurnLightOn”,
“TurnLightOff”, “DimLight”, etc.
Suppose a single radio controls a light dimmer and one or more light switches. The dimmer and
switches could be assigned to different endpoint values. To send a message to the dimmer, a
remote radio would transmit a message to the dimmer endpoint on the radio. In this example, the
radio might support cluster IDs to “TurnLightOn”, “TurnLightOff”, or “DimLight”. Thus, for radio A to
turn off a light on radio B, radio A would send a transmission to the light switch endpoint on radio
B, using cluster ID “TurnLightOff”. This is shown in the figure below.

If an end device cannot communicate with its parent it may need to leave the network and
rejoin to find a new parent.
If the device type changes from router to end device, or vice-versa, the device will leave
the network and rejoin as the new device type.
