E1 selects C based on zero hops, and sends association request. The payload
contains E1's MAC address, and the SA of the parent. This is called a “direct
association request” because the source address is a long (MAC) address and the
frame was sent directly from the associating node.

C assigns E1 to its table of nodes, and sends an association response. This is a
“direct association response” because the destination address is a long address, so
that the frame is sent directly to the newly-associated node.

E1 stores two addresses: its own newly-acquired short address, and the short
address of its parent.. In this case the parent is the coordinator C.
E1 sends data to coordinator C as needed.

A.5.2 Example 2 – Router R1 connects to Coordinator C
Coordinator C has started and has chosen PANID = 0x1234, and short address =
0x0000
Router node R1 starts, does a scan, and finds the coordinator C (and receives no
other beacons).
