3.2. Network-level Procedures
This section describes the processes of establishing, expanding, and dismantling a ZigBee network. Sections 4
and 5 describe each command primitive in detail.
A ZigBee network is established by the steps shown in Figure 1.
1. Reset and initialize each device as it is powered up.
2. Establish a ZigBee network by designating a Coordinator. The Coordinator calls specific primitives to form the network then
permits other nodes to join. Refer to section 3.2.2.
3. Once a network is formed, other devices may join the network and transfer data to other nodes within the network. Refer to
sections 3.2.3 and 3.2.4.
4. Devices may request removal from a network or a parent may force a node from the network. Refer to section 3.2.5.
