5. ZigBee Network Configuration

If necessary, Eddy-CPU/ZigBee v1.0 can be set and used as an end device, a coordinator, or a
router.

The ZigBee end device is located at the end of the ZigBee network which can only connect to
ZigBee coordinator or ZigBee router. Existing only one network PAN, the ZigBee coordinator
manages each devices in the network when ZigBee network is first formed. Expansion of the
network is done by ZigBee router. Without ZigBee coordinator, the network cannot be configured.

coordinator should be applied to the end device to form a network.
