2.7.2 DIP Switch Setup: Network ID (NID)
Each sensor network has a unique Network ID (or NID).
For the End Device and the Coordinator setup the Network ID with DIP switches #6 - 8 If there is no other IEEE 802.15.4 system, the default NID can be used where all three dip switches are OFF.

DID (Device ID): The first 5 DIP switches used to assign a device number to an End Device.
NID (Network ID): The last 3 DIP switches used to assign a unique network number to a network of a Coordinator and End Device(s).
PID (Personal Network ID): The sum of the Network ID and 0x3332.
Once the End Devices and the Coordinator start communicating, make sure to push DIP switch #1, located on the back of the Coordinator to the ON position. This will lock the Coordinator on the same channel it initially established the connection.
It’s a good practice to record NID and DID numbers on designated labels placed 
on the Coordinator and End Devices.
