Default PAN ID? #53

Closed javier-moreno-tridonic-com closed 8 years ago

javier-moreno-tridonic-com commented 8 years ago

The atmel-rf-driver provides functions to set up the PAN ID and the channel, nevertheless I just managed to see the default channel set to 12 but no how the PAN ID is set.

Isn't PAN ID really necessary? Am I missing something?

Node should pick up the PAN ID from Beacons. PANID is set on border router (on 6LoWPAN-ND network) and nodes pick up the PANID when they do Beacon scans.

Nanostack allows you to filter the PANID, if you want to use it to identify borderrouters/networks.
