Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Devices and methods use an Extended Permanent Account Number Identification (EPID) of a mesh network (e.g., ZigBee) to include in the EPID a network information, a network channel information (e.g., 802.15.4 channel), and/or other data. The devices and methods allows a node to use the EPID to identify a desired network to join and join the network on the predetermined channel for that network.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for storing information to an Extended Permanent Account Number Identification (EPID) data for a network device, the method comprising: prior to operation of the network device, presetting an identifier information for the network device by using a hardware component that is connected to a computer readable memory of the network device; and storing to the computer readable memory the EPID data, wherein the EPID data includes the identifier information, the identifier information includes one or more of a unique network identifier of a network for the network device to join, a channel identifier of a network for the network device to join, and a unique device information for the network device. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the hardware component includes a switch. 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein prior to operation of the network device, the computer readable memory is not powered up. 4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the identifier information includes the unique device information. 5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the unique device information includes a power-limit information for operation of the network device.
