  • Page 12: How Zigbee Works

    The NXR-ZGW-PRO, acting as a gateway, allows ZigBee-enabled devices to communicate both to and from an ICSP master. A device connects to the NXR-ZGW-PRO and is then represented to the master as an ICSP device. The master then communicates to the device through ICSP messages via a translation step at the NXR- ZGW-PRO level.
  • Page 13: Security

    After you have installed the NXR-ZGW-PRO, you should consider the arrangement of devices. The following is an example where only one NXR-ZGW-PRO is in the installation. This means that the installer has only one Extended PAN ID with which to contend.
  • Page 14: Multiple Gateway Installations

    Addresses. Multiple Gateway Installations A more commercial application of the NXR-ZGW-PRO is having multiple gateways and specific devices operating in close proximity of each other. Devices and repeaters of different networks can operate side-by- side without interference. In the case of multiple networks in an area, it is best to use different channels for each PAN, or to select a channel of "Any".

    Installation Installation Overview Several factors will help decide the best place to install NXR-ZGW-PRO and NXR-ZRP-PRO ZigBee Pro devices. Before installing, consider the following: Location and Antenna Direction  The best location for NXR-ZGW-PRO and NXR-ZRP-PRO devices are usually in the center of your wireless network, with line of sight to all of your mobile devices.
  • Page 18: Connecting Power To The Nxr-Zgw-Pro And Nxr-Zrp-Pro

    Ethernet is the only power source available to the device. If PoE is used, the NXR-ZGW-PRO will draw power through the CAT5 Ethernet cable, thereby allowing it to be installed in areas without extra wiring for power (see Determining the Power Source section on page 10).
