Mesh network commissioning

摘要

In embodiments of mesh network commissioning, a commissioning device of a mesh network can establish a commissioning communication session between the commissioning device and a border router of the mesh network, and also establish a joiner communication session between the joining device and the commissioning device. The commissioning device can then send commissioning information to the joining device, where the commissioning information is usable by the joining device to join the mesh network. The commissioning device receives an indication of a location of a commissioner application from the joining device, utilizes the received indication to retrieve the commissioner application, and executes the commissioner application to provision the joining device.

主权项

1. A method of provisioning a joining device during secure commissioning of the joining device to join a mesh network, the method comprising:
establishing a commissioning communication session between a commissioning device and a border router of the mesh network; establishing a secure communication tunnel over the mesh network between the joining device and the commissioning device; sending commissioning information to the joining device over the secure communication tunnel, said sending the commissioning information causing the joining device to send an indication of a location of a commissioner application that is executable for provisioning the joining device; receiving, over the secure communication tunnel, the indication of the location of the commissioner application from the joining device; executing the commissioner application to provision the joining device by sending provisioning information to the joining device over the secure communication tunnel, the provisioning information being usable by the joining device for provisioning operations other than joining the mesh network; and responsive to completing the provisioning of the joining device, finalizing commissioning of the joining device, causing the joining device to join the mesh network using the commissioning information.
