4 Getting Started with Zigbee Applications
- 4.1 Zigbee Project Generation
- 4.2 Zigbee Console Commands
- 4.3 Zigbee Commisioning Procedure
  Commissioning is the process of initializing the devices to join a network and to work together. The Zigbee Base Device Behaviour specification specifies the procedures for the following commissioning mechanisms which are executed in the order as provided below.
- 4.4 Zigbee Network Security Models
- 4.5 Zigbee Green Power
  Green Power is a feature of Zigbee, that allows for energy-harvesting technology to be used directly with the Zigbee stack. Green Power is the global wireless standard for large installations, when changing batteries and accessing devices becomes costly.

4.6 ZigBee OTA Sniffer

This section provides details on how to configure and use supported sniffing tools along with Microchip MCU-based sniffer hardware platforms.

Introduction

In Zigbee® networking, a sniffing tool (for example, Wireshark Network Protocol Analyzer (Wireshark) is required to capture and analyze the frames exchanged in the network. This application note mainly focuses on the packet capture using the Wireshark.

ZigBee Packet Analysis Application Note

This application note provides details about the software requirements, hardware requirements and packet capture using the Wireshark. For more details on ZigBee Packet Analysis, refer to Zigbee Packet Analysis.
