AMX NXR-ZGW Quick Start Manual

Overview
The NXR-ZGW (FG5791-01) is an Ethernet to ZigBee wireless gateway. The
NXR-ZGW features a 10BaseT, half duplex Ethernet port capable of Power over
Ethernet (PoE), 16 Mbytes of Flash, 16 Mbytes of SDRAM, and a ZigBee
module, and is controlled via a web server interface.
The NXR-ZRP (FG5791-02) is a ZigBee wireless repeater.

Communications • ZigBee
• TCP/IP
• The NXR-ZRP communicates with a Netlinx master via a
NXR-ZGW.
Front Components:
LEDs • PWR/STATUS - (NXR-ZGW) A green LED that blinks to
indicate the device is installed and communicating
properly. Power ON, but no master connection, is
indicated with a solid light, Power OFF is indicated with no
light. (NXR-ZRP) Power ON is indicated with a solid light.
Power OFF is indicated with no light.
• LAN - (NXR-ZGW) A green LED indicates an Ethernet
connection is established. The LED blinks to indicate both
sending and receiving information via Ethernet.
• RF - The LED is solid when end devices are connected;
end devices not connected is indicated with no LED light;
the LED blinks to indicate activity.
• ICSP - (NXR-ZRP) The LED is solid when ICSP
connection is in place with the NetLinx master.
Antenna Mount A reverse SMA connection that supports a 2.4GHz antenna.

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 antenna, the better performance you receive.
Note: For minimal interference, try to keep any installed NXR-ZGW at least 10'
(3.048m) from any WiFi access points.
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.
NOTE (Mio R-3 or R-4 Users): Due to the wireless nature of the ZigBee
network, temporary interference (such as leaving a room or large objects
passing between the controller and its gateway device) may prevent a command
from reaching the NetLinx master. If this happens while increasing volume,
the master may receive the command to increase the volume but not the
command to stop increasing it. Therefore, programmers should consider
setting safeguards for volume control, either established volume limits or
