Overview5NXR-ZGW/-ZRPHow ZigBee worksThe NXR-ZGW, acting as a gateway, allows ZigBee-enabled devices to communicate both to and from an ICSP master. A device connects to the NXR-ZGW and is then represented to the master as an ICSP device. The master then communicates to the device through ICSP messages via a translation step at the NXR-ZGW level.The master sends "heartbeat" queries to the NXR-ZGW device; which the NXR-ZGW provides the master with a response for all devices on the ZigBee network that have an ICSP address and use ZigBee as their primary interface to the master. The response provided by the NXR-ZGW is based on the last known status of the ZigBee-enabled device. If the NXR-ZGW determines it is no longer in communication with a device, it will indicate to the master the device is non-responsive or has left the network.SecurityThe NXR-ZGW device provides two levels of security, Security Level 0 and Security Level 5. Security Level 0 provides no security and no encryption, Security Level 5 provides 32-bit Message Integrity Code (MIC). The NXR-ZGW can be configured to permit both Security Level 0 and Security Level 5 devices or only Security Level 5 devices into the network. When enabled, security is network wide.The NXR-ZGW can also allow or deny devices to join the network based on the device’s 64-bit extended unique identifier (EUI-64) via a EUI-64 filter. The EUI-64 filter is a list of devices allowed on the network. When enabled, the EUI-64 number must be on the list for the device to enter the network. After enabling the filter, any device not on the list is instructed to leave the network.Network structureThe ZigBee network is a Personal Area Network (PAN) consisting of 1 gateway, optionally 1 or more repeaters, and end devices.A gateway initiates a ZigBee network and all devices linked to the PAN gateway do so through either direct links or through repeaters. It is the job of the gateway to establish the network’s parameters, e.g., channel and PAN ID. Within each PAN, a gateway or repeater can have 20 end devices and 4 repeaters. Each connection supports a depth of 5 devices. The topology information is contained in the system Web page.Repeaters like the NXR-ZRP are used to expand the coverage of gateway NXR-ZGWs. Every device in the PAN has a parent, and repeaters can have children. Adding repeater devices to a network can reduce the number of hops an end device needs to make to reach the gateway while extending the coverage area for the entire network. Any device attached to a repeater NXR-ZRP appears attached to the gateway NXR-ZGW in the system web page.Devices will always connect to a repeater or gateway with the least depth and then best quality. End devices cannot have children. The use of the NXR-ZGW and NXR-ZRP’s allow ZigBee-type devices to roam seamlessly from repeater to repeater within the same PAN ID.Mobile end devices tend to sleep frequently and thus enter and leave the network regularly. Upon awakening, the end device may be in a new physical location or the network may have changed channels. The end device will seamlessly search for a new parent and scan channels upon awakening.
Overview6NXR-ZGW/-ZRPMesh Network ArrangementsThe 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 with a unique PAN ID for each. Further, while encryption enabling is always a good idea, it might be absolute for installation with public exposure.Single PAN ID installationsAfter you have installed the NXR-ZGW, you should consider the arrangement of devices. The following is an example where there is only one NXR-ZGW in the installation and thus only one PAN ID with which to contend. While there is no reason to worry about the wrong device appearing on the PAN ID, setting up proper security measures is a good thing. See Setting up a Network section on page 23 for setting the PAN ID and adding device EUI Addresses. 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.FIG. 3 Single PAN ID NetworkCAT5 EthernetconnectionNXR-ZGW(Coordinator)1 hopNetLinx MasterMio R-4
Overview7NXR-ZGW/-ZRPMultiple PAN ID installationsA more commercial application of the NXR-ZGW is having multiple gateways and specific devices operating in close proximity of each other. End devices and repeaters of different networks can operate side-by-side without interference if they have different PAN ID numbers. See Setting up a Network section on page 23 for setting the PAN ID and adding device EUI Addresses. FCC ComplianceThis device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Subject to the following two conditions:1. This device must not cause harmful interference and 2. This device must accept all interference, including interference that interferes with the operation of this device.

Installation9NXR-ZGW/-ZRPInstallationThings to Consider Before StartingSeveral factors will help decide the best place to install NXR-ZGW and NXR-ZRP devices. Before installing, consider the following:Location and Antenna DirectionThe 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 antenna, the better performance you receive.Connecting the Optional Accessory AntennasSeveral 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 SourceBased upon location and the availability of electricity, select one of the two following methods for power: 2-pin 3.5mm Phoenix connector - Prepare the captive wire pair and insert it into the Phoenix connector. See Preparing captive wires for the 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix connector section on page 10. This is the only power option for the NXR-ZRP device. Power Over Ethernet (PoE) - If no electrical outlet is available, you can plug one end of the CAT5 Ethernet cable into the RJ-45 jack of the NXR-ZGW and plug the other end of the CAT5 cable into a PoE supply equipment (this unit must be 802.3af compliant). The ability to choose a power supply option increases the availability of deployment locations. In addition, the NXR-ZGW makes installation into areas previously without power much easier, since it is no longer necessary to run new electrical wires to the device.
Installation10 NXR-ZGW/-ZRPConnecting the NXR-ZGW to a LANInsert one end of the CAT5 Ethernet cable into the rear RJ-45 jack (illustrated in FIG. 1) and connect the other end of the same cable to a master. See Mesh Network Arrangements section on page 6 for possible network configurations.Connecting Power to the NXR-ZGW and NXR-ZRPThe NXR-ZGW receives power via either PoE or 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix connection, the NXR-ZRP only utilizes the 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix connection.If PoE is selected, the NXR-ZGW will draw power through the CAT5 Ethernet cable.If the 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix is selected, the following steps are necessary:Preparing captive wires for the 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix connectorYou will need a wire stripper and flat-blade screwdriver to prepare and connect the captive wires.1. Strip 0.25 inch (6.35 mm) of wire insulation off all wires.2. Insert each wire into the appropriate opening on the connector according to the wiring diagrams and connector types described in this section.3. Turn the screws clockwise to secure the wires in the connector. Do not over-torque the screws; doing so can bend the seating pins and damage the connector.Using the PSN NetLinx connector for powerThe 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-Phoenix connector (FIG. 5). 1. Insert the PWR and GND wires on the terminal end of a PSN 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix cable. Match the wiring locations of the +/- on both the power supply and the terminal connector.2. Tighten the clamp to secure the two wires. Do not over-torque the screws; doing so may strip the threads and damage the connector.3. Verify the connection of the 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix to the power supply.Table top installation of the NXR-ZGW and NXR-ZRPUsing the provided rubber pads, place one in each bottom corner of the device.Rack mounting the NXR-ZGW and NXR-ZRPUsing the Velcro pad provided, remove the backing and adhere one side to the device. Remove the backing of the other side of the Velcro and place it on your rack where you want the NXR-ZGW/ZRP mounted.Before continuing, consult Setting up a Network section on page 23.FIG. 5 12 VDC Power Connector Wiring DiagramPWR +GND -To the Device12 VDC Power Supply
Setting up a Network11NXR-ZGW/-ZRPSetting up a NetworkAfter 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 10) or wall installation (page 10) 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 connected to your NetLinx system, navigate to the NXR-ZGW Browser-based Configuration Manager (See “NXR-ZGW Browser-based Configuration Manager Pages” on page 13.) in your preferred browser application. The default IP address for the NXR-ZGW is 192.168.1.140.3. Go to the NetLinx setup page and configure the NXR-ZGW to communicate with the master.4. Go to the NXR-ZGW Browser-based Configuration Manager PAN page (See “Personal Area Network (PAN)” on page 18.) and change the PAN ID.5. Turn on AMX ZigBee-compatible devices one at a time, e.g., Mio R-4 or NXR-ZRP. Select the correct new PAN ID.6. For devices that do not have displays (NXR-ZRP), or not enough display to select the PAN ID to join a network, place each device one at a time near the gateway, turn one of them on, and configure it using the gateway web pages before turning on the next one. Then use the PAN pages to change the devices over to a new PAN ID.7. This method may also be used if you do not want to go to each ZigBee compatible device to set the PAN ID; however, once each device is set, the change must be done to the gateway itself. It may be necessary to cycle power on each device for them to come online.8. Due to the wireless nature of the ZigBee network, temporary interference (such as leaving a room or large objects passing between a remote and its gateway device) may prevent a command from reaching the NetLinx master. Therefore, programmers should consider setting safeguards for volume control, either established volume limits or timeouts with the NetLinx master or more interactive adjustment from the remote (i.e., direct volume control), to prevent issues with lost commands.If this happens while increasing volume, the master may receive the command to increase the volume but not the command to stop increasing it.
