Problem with Microchip Zigbee stack

We are using Microchip's latest ZigBee development kit & are
esperienceing problems. The simplest failure happens when the
connection gets dropped between a single receiver / tranmitter pair.
Once the connection is dropped, the connection never gets
reestablished, no matter how close the receiver / transmitter pair.
The lowest level of the Zigbee stack is enabled & none of the higher
levels is turned on.

This appears to be a software problem in Microchip's root level ZigBee
stack.

Any feedback would help.

If I remember correctly I had a similar problem with ZigBee demo kit.
But
mine was quite old and with cc2420 transceivers. I've used demo kit
only for
testing, later when the project was build there was no serious
problems.
This error might be connected with application level of demo kit but
I'am
speculating...

Bill,

There is, actually, not enough information in your post to be able to
offer any comments. Are you running an application layer to access the
stack? (something in the demo kit), or are you accessing the stack
directly? What version of the stack is it? Etc etc. One of the issues
is, when you say "drop", are you assuming this is an RF condition or
does the node get removed from the PAN? Anyway, just shooting in the
dark without any additional info....

Good luck!
