ZigBee Coordinator Forms the network Allows other nodes to join Transceiver always on Mains powered Requires relatively large amount of program and data memory February 2008 Valerio Moretto Slide 25
Coordinator Device Always a FFD Supports all services, binding table Capable of peer-to-peer connection Forms the network Accepts/Rejects new network member Mains powered - RX always ON February 2008 Valerio Moretto Slide 26
Router Device Always FFD Joins the networks (e.g. rooms in a building) Supports all services, routing table Capable of peer-to-peer connection Mains powered - RX always ON February 2008 Valerio Moretto Slide 27
ZigBee Router Extends the physical reach of the network Capable of peer-to-peer communication Transceiver always on Mains powered Requires relatively large amount of program and data memory February 2008 Valerio Moretto Slide 28
Full Function End Device Nearly identical to a router Does not allow other nodes to join the network Capable of peer-to-peer communication Requires less RAM and ROM than a router February 2008 Valerio Moretto Slide 29
Full Function Device Can be Coordinator, Router or End Device Supports majority of services Capable of peer-to-peer connection Mains or Battery powered February 2008 Valerio Moretto Slide 30
Reduced Function End Device Can be battery powered Can communicate only with its parent node Requires the least amount of RAM and ROM February 2008 Valerio Moretto Slide 31
Reduced Function Device End Device only Supports limited services - smallest footprint Automatically detects nearby coordinator Communicates to/via coordinator Mains or Battery powered (low duty cycle) February 2008 Valerio Moretto Slide 32
