A SedonaJen6lpNeighborEntry (MAC
802.15.4MacAddress
) is a dynamic child container that stores “paninfo” data about a nearby (neighbor) Jennic node. Its read-only properties
report if the device is a sleeping end device, its MAC 15.4 address, and several numerical statistics including a link quality
index, and numbers of packets lost, sent, and received. These components can be either “child” or “parent” in nature, depending
on the context of component hierarchy.
In the SedonaJen6lpNetwork, its frozen Child Pan Info slot holds a number of child SedonaJen6lpNeighborEntries, one for each direct child node. Because the network represents the (top level) coordinator, it has no parent entries.
Each SedonaJen6lpDevice has a Parent Pan Info slot, of type SedonaJen6lpNeighborEntry, with data about its one (and only) Jennic parent node. Depending on the device’s location and the network’s “depth”, this parent node may either be the coordinator (JACE option card), or another Jennic-based device acting as a “router” node.
Each SedonaJen6lpDevice also has a Child Pan Info container slot, which may (or may not) have SedonaJen6lpNeighborEntry children.
The entire collection of data from all SedonaJen6lpNeighborEntries, network-wide, a is reflected graphically in the Pan Sheet view of the SedonaJen6lpNetwork. This can be useful for diagnostic purposes. For related details in this document, see the following sections:
