NXB-CCG-K ClearConnect Wireless Gateway Common Applications The NXB-CCG-K is ideal for new and retrofit applications looking for the least costly way to add AV control to a room. The NXB-CCG-K is designed to interface with Lutron's Clear Connect Occupancy Sensors.
Proper orientation of the antenna helps ensure maximum range and the best performance. The NXB-CCG-K should be positioned centrally to the devices being controlled, and as high and clear of obstructions as possible. The NXB-CCG-K utilizes an omni-directional antenna, which produces a circular pattern perpendicular to the antenna.
Using a DC adapter not rated at the proper specifications could damage the NXB- CCG-K and possibly overheat the DC adapter. RF Device Placement All dimmers, switches, keypads and shades / draperies must be located within 30 ft (9 m) of the NXB-CCG-K (FIG. 2). NXB-CCG-K Power Source...

Installation XML Integration File The NXB-CCG-K can generate an XML file to assist with further integration efforts, The file is generated as a text file (FIG. 8). The Lutron Integration Protocol credentials can also be added to the web address to automate this process (example: “[IP address of NXB-CCG-K]/xml?login=<username>&password=<password>”).
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting If you should have issues with installing an NXB-CCG-K or with setting up a network, consider the following options: Ensure power is connected to the NXB-CCG-K Ensure a network connection is made between the NXB-CCG-K and a router/PC ...

NXB-CCG-K. Some firmware update failures may cause the NXB-CCG-K to reboot. If this occurs, wait till the startup feedback is complete and then login to the Web Interface pages to try to update again. Ensure that you are uploading a valid firmware update file provided by Lutron.
All the added devices must be set to their factory defaults before they can be added to the system. While the NXB-CCG-K can control up to 31 devices at one time, only ten devices at a time may be entered via the Add Devices page. Adding more devices requires multiple uses of the Add Devices interface.

Changing Device Names Devices that are added to the NXB-CCG-K network are named during the activation process, but their names can be modified afterward, either in or out of Activation Mode. To change a device’s name: In the Add Devices page, click on the device’s name to open the Device Name window (FIG. 35).
Changing Device Integration IDs Devices that are added to the NXB-CCG-K network can have their IDs changed, whether in or out of Activation Mode. This is the integration ID that is used to refer to the device when controlling the system via the integration protocol. To change the Device Integration ID: Click on the ID of the device to be modified to open the Device Integration ID window (FIG.
Devices Tab Buttons programmed with the NXB-CCG-K will all have “single action” programming, with the exception of raise/ lower buttons on keypads. This means that presses of either physical or virtual buttons will always send the programmed devices to their programmed level regardless of the state of the devices.
Processor entry is expanded in the Devices tree view only 10 buttons are shown by default. If you need to program more than 10 virtual buttons, you can show more of the 100 by right clicking the NXB-CCG-K Processor text in the Devices tree view.
Switch Programming Device Name: Displays the name of the device. Level: Click on the setting to turn the programmed settings on and off. Remove: Click the link to remove the programmed settings from the switch. NXB-CCG-K NetLinx® Clear Connect™ Gateway...
The NXB-CCG-K supports a subset of the Lutron Integration Protocol (available on the Lutron website) that is relevant for the devices that are supported by the NXB-CCG-K. The NXB-CCG-K also provides the ability to download an XML file that provides integration information about the system that is currently programmed to it, in the Lutron XML format.
