We will discuss ZigBee Green Power commissioning in this post, but first I will do a retrospective.
Retrospective
If you know ZigBee Green Power, or else you have read my previous post , you should have the idea of how a GPD (Green Power Device) differs from traditional ZigBee devices. Also, you should know that ZigBee devices need to act as GPP or GPS to work together with GPDs. Currently, we can implement GPP / GPS by Green Power Infrastructure Devices. Specifically proxy basic, combo basic and commissioning tool are three certifiable devices by to-date specification.
There are three important tables within GPP / GPS. They are: proxy table, sink table and translation table. Proxy table and sink table contribute to GPDF forwarding, while translation table contributes to GPDF execution.
GPDF forwarding
We have that one question left: how can we make these tables into the GPP / GPS ?
OK, let us talk a bit about ZigBee Green Power commissioning.
Green Power Commissioning Process
One should keep in mind: the commissioning process is designed for facilitating the ultra-low nature of GPDs.
Some GPDs are battery-less based on energy-harvesting technologies, so they can only transmit, and they cannot store network information.
There comes the uni-directional Green Power commissioning.
Some GPDs uses battery, so they can be more advanced in functions. For example, they can both transmit and receive, and they can keep network information.
There comes the bi-directional Green Power commissioning.
