Overview How ZigBee works The ZigBee wireless personal network technology protocol provides a framework for reliable, cost- effective, low-power, wireless networked, monitoring and control products based on an open global standard. (More information on the ZigBee standard is available at http://www.zigbee.org.) Many ZigBee-enabled devices use ZigBee exclusively as a communication and control interface, but not all: some have the option of switching between ZigBee, standard IR, or a combinatio

Overview Mesh Network Arrangements The following installations depend upon the criteria for the network. A home installation would perhaps only need one NXR-ZGW or PAN ID where a commercial installation might require a NXR-ZGW and several NXR-ZRPs. When adding a ZigBee network to a NetLinx master, an Ethernet switch or hub must be added to the master for proper function of the ZigBee network. Single PAN ID installations After you have installed the NXR-ZGW, you should consider the arrangement

Installation Installation Things to Consider Before Starting Several factors will help decide the best place to install NXR-ZGW and NXR-ZRP devices. Before installing, consider the following: Location and Antenna Direction The best location for NXR-ZGW and NXR-ZRP devices are usually in the center of your wireless network, with line of sight to all of your mobile devices. Try to place the antenna in a position that can best cover your wireless network. Normally, the higher you place the anten

Installation Connecting the Optional Accessory Antennas Several accessory 2.4GHz antennas are available for use with NXR-ZGW and NXR-ZRP devices. Each of these antennas is uniquely suited to meet a wide variety of installation requirements. Determining the Power Source Based upon location and the availability of electricity, select one of the two following methods for power: 2-pin 3.5mm captive-wire connector - Prepare the captive wire pair and insert it into the connector. See Preparing cap

Installation Using the PSN NetLinx connector for power The PWR and GND cable from the 12 VDC power supply must be connected to the corresponding location on the 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-captive wire connector (FIG. 6). PWR + 12 VDC Power Supply GND - To the Device FIG. 6 12 VDC Power Connector Wiring Diagram 1. Insert the PWR and GND wires on the terminal end of a PSN 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-captive wire cable. Match the wiring locations of the +/- on both the power supply and the terminal connector.

Setting up a Network Setting up a Network After you have established the location of the gateway (page 9), connected it (page 10), provided power (page 10), and placed the device in either a rack(page 11) or wall installation (page 11) you can then begin configuring the NXR-ZGW and adding an NXR-ZRP and ZigBee-compatible devices to the network. 1. Confirm the NXR-ZGW is receiving power by checking the PWR LED (See “Front and Rear Components of the NXR-ZGW” on page 2.). 2. Using a PC connecte
