2. Introduction to the Q53 ZigBee / 802.15.4 Gateway
How Does the Q53 Work?
How Does the Q53 Work?
The Q53 implements the ZigBee Gateway specification as defined by the ZigBee
Alliance; see www.zigbee.org to obtain a copy. This standard specifies remote
procedure call method based on Web services (SOAP and REST) and ASN.1based
application level protocols.
Through user created host applications the Q53's SOAP and REST interface can be
accessed using the encoding schemes detailed in Gateway Specification. The Q53 does
not currently implement the ANS.1 interface.
In the case of SOAP, the message formats are defined through the use of an xml
encoded schema and a WSDL which can be found in the ZigBee Gateway specification.
The specification also details the format of the RESTful HTTP messages.
Either of these interfaces can be accessed through the use of user created Web
Services client applications or third party tools such as eviware’s soapUI tool.
Exegin provides a sample Microsoft Visual Studio project, on our web site at
http://exegin.com/downloads/Q53_VSC.zip
which implements a number of simple SOAP based interactions with a Q53
gateway.
The Q53 implements the mandatory subset of functions of the Gateway
Specification. The Exegin specific schema and WSDL are available in the
example Q53_VSC project package.
Note that the contents of this package may change at anytime and that Exegin
Technologies makes no warranties regarding the usability or reliability of the
contents of the package. The package is simply an example of how one might use
a gateway.

3. Installing the Q53
Site Requirements
INSTALLING THE Q53
This chapter describes the following:
•
Site Requirements on page 12
•
Unpacking the Q53 on page 13
•
Connecting the Q53 to a Network on page 13
Site Requirements
Prepare to install the Q53 in a clean, well-ventilated environment protected from
extremes of temperature, humidity, mechanical shock, or vibration. Provide enough
space at the back of the unit for cable connections.
Depending upon the specific options selected at time of ordering, the Q53 may be
powered from a 115 or 230 VAC outlet using the supplied external transformer through
a output cord to a barrel-style power connector, or over the Ethernet cable (Power Over
Ethernet - PoE) from an Ethernet switch providing power as defined in the IEEE standard
802.11af. If using the external AC transformer, prepare to install the Q53 within four
meters (13 feet) of a grounded 115 or 230 VAC outlet.
The Q53 must be installed within RF range of the local ZigBee wireless PAN, in order
to connect to the PAN and therefore bridge it over the TCP/IP network to the remote
PAN. The maximum distance from the Q53 to the nearest ZigBee PAN node will vary
depending upon the installation environment and capabilities of the other ZigBee
node(s).
The Q53 is an intentional radiator of Radio Frequency (RF) energy. In order to limit RF
exposure to personnel in the immediate area, the Q53 should be located and installed
such that a separation of at least 20 centimeters is maintained between the Q53’s antenna
and personnel in the vicinity of the device.
Note: ESD precautions should be used when attaching or removing the antenna.

Table 2—Q53 Dipswitch Settings
Dipswitch
Comments
OFF
OFF
Normal operation. With both dipswitches in the "OFF" position, the unit
will boot up using the settings in Flash rather than the default settings.
Dipswitch 2 is in the "OFF" position from the factory so that the new settings
that you store will be used.
ON
OFF
Factory default settings. With the dipswitches in this configuration, the
unit will boot up and all settings stored in Flash will be erased except the
Ethernet address and key value.
OFF
ON
Default IP (0.0.0.0). With the dipswitches in this configuration, the unit will
boot with factory default settings, but the stored settings in Flash remain
intact. This enables you to set an IP Address of your own. Setting dipswitch
2 to "ON" will not clear any settings that you have stored in Flash. It simply
boots the unit in a different state with the settings in Flash temporarily
ignored.
ON
ON
Factory bootloader mode. Do not use this mode except as directed by
Exegin technical support.
Use the RJ45 network connector, located on the side panel of the Q53 (see Figure 2), for
attaching to a 10/100Base-T (UTP) network. Plug a network cable into the network
connector. If installing a Q53 without the Power Over Ethernet (POE) option, insert the
three-prong power cable of the AC adapter into an AC outlet, and insert the barrel power
connectors into the POWER connector on the side panel of the Q53; this will power on
the device.

Two LED indicators are used to indicate Ethernet link integrity (see Figure 2). The green
LED at the bottom left of the UTP network connector will be illuminated when a 100
MB/S link is established over the network connection, or extinguished otherwise. The
red LED at the bottom right of the UTP network connector will be illuminated when a
10 MB/S link is established over the network connection, or extinguished otherwise.
Figure 3—Q53 Top View: LED Status Indicators
Watch the LED indicators on the top panel as they cycle through the power-on self-test.
When the test is complete, the STAT LED will flash once per second or, if there is no IP
address configured, twice per second (see Gecko on page 18 for instruction on how to
configure an IP address).

Gecko
Gecko is a Windows tool for discovering, monitoring, and configuring Exegin devices
on a TCP/IP network. The program is a Java stand alone program.
The Q53 can be configured on a TCP/IP network using Gecko. Two steps are involved:
1. Identify the Q53 on the network using TCP/IP as the underlying protocol
2. Configure the Q53 with its required TCP/IP settings (i.e. IP address and subnet
mask).
Additional settings like routing entries can also be configured allowing for
communications across subnets. Once Gecko is up and running, select Help Topics from
the help menu for more detailed information about Gecko.
The installation procedure for Gecko is described below; Using Gecko (Windows) on
page 23 describes how to use Gecko to configure your Q53.
Gecko
Environment
Requirements
18
Before installing Gecko, ensure that you have met the following system environment
requirements:
•
the Java Runtime Environment™ (JRE) from Sun Microsystems. JRE consists of
the Java virtual machine, the java platform core classes, and supporting files. The
latest supported version of JRE is available at Exegin’s website:
http://www.exegin.com/.
•
the TCP/IP protocol installed and configured on your workstation.
Q53 Installation and Configuration Guide © Exegin Technologies Limited, 2013
4. Configuration Tools
TCP/IP Commands
Installing
Gecko in
Windows
To install Gecko on a Windows workstation, you will need to:
1. Insert the Q53 CD ROM and bring up the CD directory listing in My Computer or
Windows Explorer
2. Double click on setupex.exe in the Gecko directory to run the InstallShield Wizard.
3. Answer the prompts throughout the Wizard.
Once the install process is complete, you will be prompted to view the ReadMe file.
Select "Yes" to read this and when done, close the file.
Note: The latest version of Gecko is available on Exegin’s website:
http://www.exegin.com/.
TCP/IP Commands
Telnet
Telnet can be used to access a remote computer on a network. To use this command, you
must know the IP address of the Q53 ZigBee / 802.15.4 Gateway. You can start a Telnet
session on a UNIX- or Windows-based computer which is connected to the network, to
log in to the Q53 command line interface shell to alter and view settings.
Syntax:
telnet ipaddress
Example:
telnet 192.168.11.9
This will bring up the Q53 login prompt. Enter "root" for the User ID and press either
ENTER at the password prompt or, if a password has been set, then type it in and press
ENTER.
Ping
You can use the "ping" command to check that an assigned IP address (for example, the
IP address for the Q53) is active.
Syntax:
ping IPaddress
For example:
ping 192.168.11.9
The response will indicate whether the IP address is active or not.

5. Configuring the Q53 on Your Network
Required TCP/IP Settings
CONFIGURING THE Q53 ON YOUR NETWORK
This chapter describes how to configure the required and optional TCP/IP settings for the
Q53 on your network. The following steps are covered:
•
•
•
Required TCP/IP Settings:
•
Configuring an initial IP address for the Q53 on page 20
•
Configure the Q53 IP address and subnet mask on page 21
Optional TCP/IP Settings:
•
Communicating across routers on page 25
•
Using Host and Domain Names on page 26
Troubleshooting Tips on page 27.
Once the TCP/IP network port is configured on the Q53, additional configuration is
required to connect the Q53 to the local ZigBee Personal Area Network (PAN), and also
to bridge that local PAN to another remote PAN over TCP/IP. Please refer to Q53 Zigbee
PAN and Bridge Configuration on page 33 for details on ZigBee and bridge
configuration.
Required TCP/IP Settings
Configuring an initial IP address for the Q53
Since the Q53 has no physical user interface such as a display or keyboard, all operating
parameters must be configured by means of a TCP/IP network connection from a
separate computer. However, the Q53 must first be assigned an IP address in order to
function on a TCP/IP network. This raises the question of how to configure a Q53 when
it is first installed on the network fresh from the factory.
As delivered from the factory, the Q53 is configured to request an IP address from a
DHCP server when attached to a TCP/IP network. If a DHCP server exists on the
network, then the IP address assigned to the Q53 may be determined by querying the
DHCP server using its administration interface and locating the IP address of the desired
Q53 by matching its Ethernet MAC address. Please refer to the documentation for the
particular DHCP server used to determine how this may be done.
As an alternative, Exegin provides a utility program called Gecko which is capable of
locating any configured or unconfigured Q53 device attached to the TCP/IP subnet, and
assigning an initial IP address to it to facilitate subsequent configuration through a telnet
or HTTP connection. Please refer to Using Gecko (Windows) on page 23 for details on
how to do this.

Communicating across routers
Since Windows and UNIX environments depend on TCP/IP to communicate with the
Q53, crossing routers can be an issue.
After following one of the Q53 configuration methods described above, you will only be
able to communicate with the Zigbee gateway device from the same subnet. This means
that the Q53 will not be able to communicate across a router (i.e., to another subnet).
To allow the Q53 to communicate across a router, it is best to store a default
router/gateway within the Zigbee gateway device so that any packets destined for
another subnet are forwarded to this router automatically. The router (or series of routers)
can then ensure the packets arrive at their final destination on the other subnet.
You can configure a default router/gateway within the Q53 using either the Q53 HTML
forms or the TCP/IP telnet command.
Using HTML
forms
1. Follow the instructions for accessing the Network TCP/IP form (page 21).
2. Enter the address of the default gateway in the Default Gateway field.
3. Click on "Submit" when done.
4. Go to the Restart page and click on "Restart" to apply the new settings to your
system.

4. Logout of the Telnet session with "quit". Then restart the Q53 by powering the
unit off and then on again.
Using Host and Domain Names
The Q53 allows entry of most IP addresses either in ’dotted quad’ form or as a symbolic
host names. Host names have the advantage that they are easier to remember and are not
tied to a specific IP address.
The translation from host name to IP address is performed by a Domain Name Server
(DNS). In order to use host names, the IP address for the DNS server as well as the
domain name suffix must be specified at configuration time.
Using HTML
forms
1. Follow the instructions for accessing the TCP/IP Settings form (page 21).
2. Enter the IP address of the Domain Name Server in the DNS Server Address field.

Troubleshooting Tips
Gecko error messages: Q53 will not talk on the network
Unable to assign temporary IP. The address is already in use.
•
Ensure that you have assigned an IP address that is not being use by another device.
Unable to assign temporary IP. The device is not responding. The network may be down,
or an invalid IP address has been used.
•
Ensure that the IP address that you used is valid for your network.
Q53 will not talk on the network
27
•
Have you assigned it a unique and valid IP address which corresponds with the
other IP addresses on your network? For example, are you sure no other device is
using this IP address, that the subnet mask is the same as other hosts on the
network, and that the unique IP address is part of the network specified by the
subnet mask specified?
•
Are you sure you are trying to talk to the Q53 from a host on the same subnet? The
Zigbee gateway device can only be seen locally unless you configured a routing
entry earlier on.
•
Is the STAT LED on the front of the Q53 flashing once per second or is it flashing
faster? A slower, once-a-second rate indicates that the Zigbee gateway device is in
fact configured with an IP address. A faster rate indicates that the Q53 is unaware of
the IP address and you may need to try the configuration process again.

5. Configuring the Q53 on Your Network
Troubleshooting Tips
•
Have you confirmed the network connection to the Q53 is working correctly?
Trying different network cables and locations will help narrow down the problem.
Cannot ping the Q53
There are a number of possible reasons for this:
•
Have you restarted the Q53? Sometimes this will solve various communication
problems.
•
Is the network cable securely connected?
•
Have you checked your network connection to the Q53? Try it at a new location on
your network if possible or swap in another device.
•
Have you made an entry in your computer’s host table (/etc/hosts, host nis map, or
DNS name table) for the Q53?
•
Have you tried to ping with the IP address instead of the IP name? This will
eliminate any name-lookup issues and focus more on the communications between
the Q53 and your host.
•
Is it possible that a duplicate IP address has been assigned?
•
Did you use the correct netmask for your particular environment?
•
Has the Q53 been moved from another network? If so, it will likely need to be
reconfigured to integrate with its new location. This includes at minimum a new IP
address and netmask. Please see Resetting to Factory Defaults on page 70 for
possible configuration methods.
•
Is there a router between the Q53 and your host? If so, a default router or a static
route must be configured on the unit so the Q53 knows how to get its response back
to the originating host. Please see Communicating across routers on page 25.
•
Do you have a DHCP or BOOTP server running on your network? By default, the
Q53 comes with the DHCP and BOOTP request turned on so although you may
have stored a particular network configuration in the unit’s EEPROM, a DHCP or
BOOTP server may supply new network parameters upon bootup. To turn off
DHCP and BOOTP on the unit, please see Configure the Q53 IP address and subnet
mask on page 21.
If none of these help, try the following:
•
Reset the unit to default settings. Please see Resetting to Factory Defaults on page
70. Once the unit is in the default state, use one of the configuration options listed in
the "Q53 Configuration" above in the manual to reconfigure it.
Cannot Telnet to the Q53
If you are unable to ping the Q53 as well, please see Cannot ping the Q53 on page 28. If
it is telnet only that you are having problems with, these points should be considered:
•
28
Are you able to telnet to another host on your network or telnet from another host?
If not, look into your host’s TELNET configuration.
Q53 Installation and Configuration Guide © Exegin Technologies Limited, 2013
5. Configuring the Q53 on Your Network
Troubleshooting Tips
•
Have you tried restarting the Q53?
•
Are the dipswitches in the "off" position?
•
Does the fourth octet of the Q53’s given IP address equal 0 or 255? Each of the four
octets in the IP address should be between 1 and 254.
HTML configuration forms will not display
•
Can you "ping" the Q53 from your Windows station? If not, please see Cannot
ping the Q53 on page 28.
•
Have you used the correct URL for the Q53’s home page? It should be:
http://Q53IPaddress
For example:
http://192.168.11.9

to manipulate objects such as sntp, and sysinfo and also provides some monitoring and
troubleshooting capabilities.
Command Line Interface access methods
Access the command line interface shell using these methods:
62
HTML Forms
When you configure a setting using the built-in HTML
configuration forms, shell commands are actually
executed remotely on the Q53.
Telnet Session

log into the device and access the command line
interface shell. (e.g. "telnet 192.168.11.9")
Q53 Installation and Configuration Guide © Exegin Technologies Limited, 2013
9. Reference Information
Q53 Command Line Interface Shell
Main command prefixes
The three main command prefixes within the command line interface shell are:
store
change settings stored in Flash. When the "store" prefix is used, the
Q53 must be restarted to apply the changes to the system. Since
"store" affects Flash settings only, the Zigbee gateway bridge device
must reset and read the new settings now in Flash.
set
change current/working settings in memory. When the "set" prefix is
used, a "save" command must be executed as well so that the new
settings are retained after power cycles. Since "set" only affects the
settings in memory, they will be lost after a power cycle unless they are
saved into Flash ROM.
list
view current/working settings in memory.
Command shell prompt
When the command shell is accessed through a Telnet session, a prompt is displayed
after login to indicate that it is ready to accept a command from the user. The Telnet
prompt is formatted ipaddress:userid> where IPaddress is the IP address of the Q53
and userid is the user ID of the currently logged-in user. For example,
192.168.11.32:root>
where 192.168.11.32 is the Q53’s IP address and the user is root.
Getting command help
The Q53’s command line interface shell provides several on-line help tools. These
include:
"?" Command
Typing "?" once logged in to the command line interface
shell will produce a full listing of all commands available.
Command Prefixes
Typing in the beginning of a command will produce an
error message showing the correct syntax. For example,
typing in "store tcpip" will produce a list of all
commands that start with this prefix.
Common command shell commands
The command line interface shell consists of more than 50 commands. Table 3 outlines
some of the more common commands. For a complete command reference, please refer

you will be able to utilize on the print server depend on which login name you use. By
default, there is one root user and one guest user; users can then be added to this with
either permission level.
Users with root permission can execute all commands: users with guest permission can
not do any configuration and can only execute commands that display settings on the
Q53. However, they can use ping and telnet as well.
Use list user on page 65 to look at current user definitions. Use set user passwd username
password on page 66 to see how the root user can change these settings.
Resetting to Factory Defaults
Sometimes it is beneficial to return the Q53 to its factory default state. For example, if
you are having problems communicating with the Zigbee gateway bridge device over the
network, you may want to put it back to a default state and reconfigure the network
settings.
To reset to factory defaults:
1. Move dipswitch 1 to the "off" position and dipswitch 2 to the "on" position as
described in Table 2, Q53 Dipswitch Settings, on page 15. This is the Factory
Settings mode
2. Restart the unit by cycling the power off, then on.
You now have the Q53 booted into a default state, meaning its current/working settings
are those stored at the factory. All settings configured and stored in Flash are ignored
while the dipswitches are in the "Factory Settings" position.
At this point, you can use shell commands on the Q53 to configure certain settings. Here
are some common examples of steps taken when the device is in a default state:

Performing Firmware Upgrades
1. Forgotten Password
If you have forgotten a password set on the Q53, you can reset the user settings using
these commands:
set user from default
save
2. Restore All Settings in Flash to Defaults
Since this default state is temporary and you may want to make sure all settings
sitting in Flash are back to their factory default values, you will need to use these
commands:
save default
store tcpip from default
or set dipswitch 1=on and 2=off. See Table 2, Q53 Dipswitch Settings, on page 15.
3. Set dipswitches for normal operation.
Set dipswitch 1=off and 2=off. See Table 2, Q53 Dipswitch Settings, on page 15.
Performing Firmware Upgrades
Since the Q53’s firmware is stored in Flash ROM, upgrading is easy. Using a computer
with a web browser on a TCP/IP network, the Zigbee gateway bridge device can be
upgraded to a newer firmware version without needing new hardware. Please refer to
Firmware Upgrade Form on page 57 for step-by-step instructions on how to load new
firmware into the Q53.
Firmware File
The latest firmware file is always available at Exegin’s web site,
"http://www.exegin.com/" or it can be ordered through Exegin Technical Support.
Please see Help Methods Available on page 84 for further information.

Q53 Security on page 72: how to use the Q53’s built-in security features as well as
taking advantage of your Network’s security features.
General Options
Manipulating the Q53’s UTP Interface
You have some control over the UTP interface and its properties on the Q53.
By default, the UTP interface is set to automatically negotiate the communications speed
and duplex settings with its link peer. You can change this to force the Q53 to use a
specific speed and duplex setting.
To see the current UTP interface settings for the UTP network interface, please see list
ifc in Table 4 on page 65. To manipulate the UTP interface, please see store ifc in Table
6 on page 67.
Remotely Managing the Q53
In a TCP/IP environment, various methods are available for remotely monitoring the
Print Server. These include using:
•
the built-in HTML forms,
•
a Telnet session,
Q53 Security
This touches upon the most popular built-in security feature - permission levels and
passwords. Setting passwords and assigning a permission level to users makes it difficult
for unauthorized users to gain access to the Q53’s command set and manipulate the
settings.
However, the Zigbee gateway device also uses TCP access lists to restrict host
connections with the device and allows scrambling/descrambling of print jobs.

Q53 Security
Users and Passwords
The Q53 supports two users:
root
Access to everything within the Zigbee gateway device including all
configurable settings.
guest
Ability to list settings but not configure them.
For each user, a password can be set. However, you would normally only set a password
for the root user to protect the Q53’s configuration. Guest users cannot alter the Zigbee
gateway device’s configuration in any way.
To configure the root password on your Q53, you will need to:
HTML Method
1. Load a Web browser on a network station that can communicate with the Zigbee
gateway device over TCP/IP.
2. Direct your Web browser to URL "http://Q53IPaddress/pswdConf.html"
(e.g. "http://192.168.11.9/pswdConf.html").
Note: If prompted for a "User ID" and password first, type in "root" for the ID and
press ENTER at the password prompt as there is no password by default.
3. Click within the "Old" field beside the "Root Password" heading and enter the
existing root password. By default, there is no root password; in this case, this step
can be skipped.
4. Within the "Root Password" section, click within the "New" field and enter the new
root password.
5. Within the "Root Password" section, click within the "Confirm" field and enter the
new root password again. Remember this the password is case sensitive.
6. Click on the "Submit" button when done.
7. Go to the Restart page and click on "Restart" to apply the new settings to your
system.
