NPort Z3150
Quick Installation Guide
First Edition, November 2011
Overview
NPort Z3150 is a gateway that provides computers with an
Ethernet interface to a ZigBee PAN. Unlike a bridge, which logically
extends a PAN across an Internet connection, a gateway provides
network services on behalf of a ZigBee PAN. Software on any
computer can monitor any ZigBee device in the PAN via the NPort
Z3150.

down for five seconds. Release the reset button when the Ready
LED stops blinking.
Pull High/Low Resistors for RS-422/485
You may need to set the pull high/low resistors when termination
resistors are used for certain RS-422 or RS-485 environments.
