R2 saves its parent's short address and its own short address.
A.5.5 Example 5 – End node E2 connects to network
This example shows an end node connecting to the network, through two routers R2
and R1.
E2 scans for routers, and selects R2 based on LQI/hops/RSSI. It then sends a direct
association request.

C assigns E2 a short address, add E2's SA and Parent SA to its table, sends a
routing packet to E2, and then sends an association response to R1.

R2 notices that the new node's parent is R2, and sends a “direct association
response” packet to E2, and stores E2's SA in its child table.
