Description:
beacon-enabled 802.15.4 PAN, it transmits periodic beacons and waits for
devices to request association to its PAN. Whenever a device tries to
associate, the PAN coordinator accepts the association and assigns to the
-device a unique short address (starting from zero, incremented for every device
-new association). A second node acts as a device, it first scans the
+device a unique short address (starting from zero, incremented for every new
+association request). A second node acts as a device, it first scans the
pre-defined channel for beacons from the coordinator and once it finds a beacon
-it tries to associate to the PAN and synchronize to and track all future
-beacons. A short time after association the device then disassociates from the
-PAN.
+it tries to associate to the PAN. A short time after association the device
+then disassociates from the PAN.
Criteria for a successful test:
-Assuming one coordinator and one device has been installed, both should
-simultaneously toggle (only) the second LED, about once every 5 seconds.
+Both, coordinator and device, should toggle LED1 in unison about once every 5
+seconds. The coordinator should also toggle LED2 every second.
