Joining an existing network using network steering (Router)
A factory-new Router can join an existing ZigBee only when the network is opened to accept new joiners (Network Steering for a device on a network).
Joining an existing network using Network Steering is achieved as follows:
Trigger Network Steering on one of the devices already on the network (Coordinator or another Router in the same ZigBee network).
Then reset using the RESET button or power on the joining Router device.
As a result, the Router starts a network discovery and the associate process. Association is followed by an exchange of security materials and an update of the Trust center link key (if joining a Centralized Trust center network).
By power cycling, the join can be retried if it fails.
