Premises:

Building A is first stated.

Yellow device / node / controller have given out its 6 addresses to other devices
in building A.

Building B devices / nodes / controllers can only be connected through blue
device / nodes / controller due to maximum distance coverage.

Result:

Orange devices / nodes / controllers cannot join the Zigbee™ network.

Workaround to get orphan devices on the network:

Disconnect & bring one of building B device / node / controller & power it up in
building A until it joins the Zigbee™ network ( confirmed either at the VWG –
coordinator or using the status LED on the wireless communication card of the
device / node / controller.

When the device / node / controller has joined the network in building A and is
added to the Niagara database, bring it back into building B so it can propagate
Zigbee™ addresses to the other devices in building B.
