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 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.

Multiple PAN ID installations
A 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.
