Zigbee CC2531 USB Dongle and Intruder Alarm System

I have a problem with my CC2531 USB Dongle. I use it as a Zigbee coordinator. I can see all the devices inside my PAN, but IAS zones are not communicating with it. When I change the state of contact switch, or Motion sensor, I don't get data in my gateway app. But, I have IAS remote controller, and in my gateway application i get data on TCP port when i click remote controller button. I read something about Enrollment function on coordinator, but I don't really understand what it means. I guess that problem is that I don't have IAS CIE and I need my CC2531 to act like one.

Does anyone have idea what to do? Do I need to flash other firmware or change something in config files. I am quite new in this so I don't really know what is important, so if you need some additional info please ask.

IAS Devices work slightly differently than other Zigbee devices in that they are "locked" to a CIE node. This basically means that commissioning IAS devices requires the following steps

  1. Write your USB dongle's IEEE/MAC address to the IAS CIE attribute on the device
  2. If the device is "trip to pair", trip the sensor and it will send in a ZoneEnrollRequest message, to which you respond with a ZoneEnrollResponse with a status of SUCCESS

If the device does not require "trip to pair", you can just directly send a ZoneEnrollResponse message after writing the IAS CIE attribute.

Out of curiosity, which brand of sensors are you testing with?
