Obtaining IEEE address

You may wish to obtain the IEEE address of the node with a given network address - for example, in order to know which physical node corresponds to a particular dynamically allocated network address.

The IEEE address of the local node can be obtained simply by calling the function zps_u64AplZdoGetIeeeAddr()

The IEEE address of a remote node can be obtained in either of two ways, depending on whether an entry for the node exists in the local Address Map table:

• The function zps_u64AplZdoLookupIeeeAddr() can be used to search the local Address Map table for the IEEE address which corresponds to a given network address.

• The required IEEE address can be obtained directly from the remote node by using the function zps_eAplZdpIeeeAddrRequest() to submit a request for the IEEE address of the node with a particular network address. This request, of type IEEE_addr_req, is sent in an APDU (Application Protocol Data Unit) which must first be allocated using the PDUM function PDUM_hAPduAllocateAPduInstance(). The request details are specified through the structure zps_tsAplZdpIeeeAddrReq, which includes an option to also request the IEEE addresses of all the target node’s children (if any). The results are reported in an IEEE_addr_resp response.
