Function Documentation

void emberAttachToNetwork ( void )

The status of whether the attach process was initiated is reported to the application via emberAttachToNetworkReturn() . Changes to the network status resulting from the attach process are reported to the application via emberNetworkStatusHandler() .

This function may only be called when the network status is EMBER_JOINED_NETWORK_NO_PARENT and an attach is not already underway.

void emberAttachToNetworkReturn ( EmberStatus status )

void emberChangeNodeType ( EmberNodeType newType )

The device must be joined to a network prior to making this call.

Parameters

newType The node type to change to.

void emberChangeNodeTypeReturn ( EmberStatus status )

This function provides the result of a call to emberChangeNodeType() : either EMBER_SUCCESS, or EMBER_INVALID_CALL.

void emberConfigureNetwork	(	const EmberNetworkParameters *	`parameters,`
		uint16_t	`options`
	)

This function assigns the network configuration values that will be used when the device forms or joins a network.

This function may only be called when the network status is EMBER_NO_NETWORK. If the node was previously part of a network, use emberResumeNetwork() to recover after a reboot. To forget the network and return to a status of EMBER_NO_NETWORK, please read cautions for emberResetNetworkState() .

Parameters

`parameters`	Some parameters may be supplied by the caller.
`options`	A bitmask indicating which network parameters are being supplied by the caller. The following list enumerates the options that can be set.

EMBER_NETWORK_ID_OPTION
EMBER_EXTENDED_PAN_ID_OPTION
EMBER_ULA_PREFIX_OPTION
EMBER_MASTER_KEY_OPTION
EMBER_PAN_ID_OPTION

void emberFormNetwork	(	const EmberNetworkParameters *	`parameters,`
		uint16_t	`options,`
		uint32_t	`channelMask`
	)

The forming node chooses a random extended pan ID, network ULA prefix, and pan ID for the new network. It peforms an energy scan of the channels indicated by the channelMask argument and selects the one with lowest detected energy. It performs an active scan on that channel to ensure there is no pan ID conflict. emberFormNetworkReturn() indicates whether the form process was initiated. Changes to the network status resulting from the form process are reported to the application via emberNetworkStatusHandler() .

This function may only be called when the network status is EMBER_NO_NETWORK, and when a scan is not underway. If the node was previously part of a network, use emberResumeNetwork() to recover after a reboot. To forget the network and return to a status of EMBER_NO_NETWORK, read cautions for emberResetNetworkState() .

Parameters

`parameters`	Some parameters may be supplied by the caller.
`options`	A bitmask indicating which network parameters are being supplied by the caller. The following list enumerates the allowed options and the default value used if the option is not specified: EMBER_NETWORK_ID_OPTION default: ember EMBER_ULA_PREFIX_OPTION default: random EMBER_NODE_TYPE_OPTION default: EMBER_ROUTER EMBER_TX_POWER_OPTION default: 3
`channelMask`	A mask indicating the channels to be scanned. See emberStartScan() for format details.

void emberFormNetworkReturn ( EmberStatus status )

void emberGetParentPriority ( void )

Note: If this value is not set by the application, the stack returns 0 (default value) & -1 (if the node has less that 1/3 child capacity remaining)

void emberGetParentPriorityReturn ( const int8_t parentPriority )

Parameters

parentPriority Parent Priority value.

In a host/NCP setup, provides the result of a call to emberGetParentPriority() on the host.

Parameters

parentPriority Parent Priority

void emberJoinCommissioned	(	int8_t	`radioTxPower,`
		EmberNodeType	`nodeType,`
		bool	`requireConnectivity`
	)

This function assumes that commissioning data has already been cached via a call to emberConfigureNetwork() .

Parameters

`radioTxPower`	Desired radio output power, in dBm.
`nodeType`	Type of device.
`requireConnectivity`	If commissioned join fails, specify whether this node should start a new fragment. Note: The short PAN ID MUST be commissioned if this is true.

void emberJoinNetwork	(	const EmberNetworkParameters *	`parameters,`
		uint16_t	`options,`
		uint32_t	`channelMask`
	)

The joining node performs an active scan of the channels indicated by the channelMask argument. It looks for networks matching the criteria specified via the supplied parameters, and which currently allow joining. The status of whether the join process was initiated is reported to the application via emberResumeNetworkReturn() . Changes to the network status resulting from the join process are reported to the application via emberNetworkStatusHandler() .

This function may only be called when the network status is EMBER_NO_NETWORK, and when a scan is not underway. If the node was previously part of a network, use emberResumeNetwork() to recover after a reboot. To forget the network and return to a status of EMBER_NO_NETWORK, please read cautions for emberResetNetworkState() .

Parameters

`parameters`	Some parameters may be supplied by the caller.
`options`	A bitmask indicating which network parameters are being supplied by the caller. The following list enumerates the allowed options and the default value used if the option is not specified: EMBER_NETWORK_ID_OPTION default: looks for any network id EMBER_EXTENDED_PAN_ID_OPTION default: looks for any extended pan id EMBER_PAN_ID_OPTION default: looks for any pan id EMBER_NODE_TYPE_OPTION default: EMBER_ROUTER EMBER_TX_POWER_OPTION default: 3 EMBER_JOIN_KEY_OPTION default: empty
`channelMask`	A mask indicating the channels to be scanned. See emberStartScan() for format details.

void emberJoinNetworkReturn ( EmberStatus status )

void emberResumeNetwork ( void )

If the device was previously part of a network, it will recover its former network parameters including pan id, extended pan id, node type, etc. and resume participation in the network. The status of whether the resume process was initiated is reported to the application via emberResumeNetworkReturn() . Changes to the network status resulting from the resume process are reported to the application via emberNetworkStatusHandler() .

This function may only be called when the network status is EMBER_SAVED_NETWORK and when a scan is not underway.
