process is over, both devices will have entries in their binding tables which support indirect addressing
of messages between their bound endpoints.
R1->C End_Device_Bind_req
R2->C End_Device_Bind_req
R1, R2 send End_Device_Bind_req within 60 s of each other to C
C matches the requests.
C tests one to see if binding is already in place:
R2<-C Unbind_req
R2->C Unbind-rsp (status code - NO_ENTRY)
C proceeds to create binding table entries on the two devices.
R1<-C Bind_req
R1->C Bind_rsp
R2<-C Bind_req
R2->C Bind_rsp
C sends responses to the original End_Device_Bind_req messages.
R1-<C End_Device_Bind_rsp
R2-<C End_Device_Bind_rsp
End Device binding sequence (binding)
This message has a toggle action. If the same two devices were to subsequently send End_Device_
Bind_req messages to the Coordinator, the Coordinator would detect they were already bound, and
then send Unbind_req messages to remove the binding.
An installer can use this to remove a binding which was made incorrectly, say from a switch to the
wrong lamp, by repeating the commissioning button sequence used beforehand.
