Every 802.15.4 network has a single “coordinator” node plus one or more other device nodes. In a network of Jennic-based Sedona Framework devices, the JACE station always operates as the coordinator, via the wireless Sedona Jennic option card installed in the JACE, and its station with SedonaJen6lpNetwork.
