A system is provided. In some examples, the system includes a control circuit and a plurality of monitor circuits including a first monitor circuit. In a production mode, the control circuit is configured to test the plurality of monitor circuits. In a storage mode after testing the plurality of monitor circuits in the production mode, the control circuit is configured to test the plurality of monitor circuits more than once. In an assembly mode after testing the plurality of monitor circuits in the storage mode, the control circuit is configured to test the plurality of monitor circuits. In one or more examples, the control circuit is configured to skip the storage mode and test the plurality of monitor circuits in the assembly mode after testing in the production mode.

Operating modes for testing monitor circuits

An end device in a ZIGBEE communication protocol wireless network includes a memory configured to store computer-executable instructions and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the instructions. The processor sends a first data frame to a first network device using a first network transmission power level and receives a first acknowledgment frame from the first network device. The first acknowledgement frame includes a first transmission power information element, and the first transmission power information element includes a second transmission power level. The processor updates a power control information table entry with the second transmission power level and sends a second data frame to the first network device using the second transmission power level.

A method includes assigning a priority to each of a plurality of protocol activities to produce stack priority information for each of a plurality of protocol stacks. The method further includes dynamically adjusting the priority of each of the plurality of protocol activities in the stack priority information based on a network maintenance activity and based on a rejection or an acceptance of the corresponding protocol activity by a dynamic multi-protocol manager (DMM). The method further includes providing the stack priority information to the DMM.
