6.4.1.1 Network Steering by Zigbee End Device/Multisensor

MAC Association – The end device tries to join a network through the MAC association procedure (as joining unknown network for the first time). End device/router broadcasts Beacon Request, and the coordinators/routers in the network sends Beacon Response. The MAC association process is carried out between the end device/router and the coordinator/router. For more details, refer to 5.2 MAC Association.
