NXR-ZGW-PRO NetLinx ZigBee Pro Gateway

Overview

The NXR-ZGW-PRO (FG5791-11) is an Ethernet to ZigBee wireless gateway,

designed as the center of a ZigBee® Pro network. The NXR-ZGW-PRO features

a 10/100BaseT, auto-negotiating Ethernet port capable of Power over Ethernet

(PoE), 16 Mbytes of Flash, 16 Mbytes of SDRAM, and a ZigBee Pro transceiver,

and is controlled via a web server interface.

Specifications

Things To Consider Before Starting

Several factors will help decide the best place to install NXR-ZGW-PRO gateway

devices. Before installing, consider the following:

Location and Antenna Direction

The best location for NXR-ZGW-PRO 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-PRO at least

10’ (3.048m) from any WiFi access points.

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 timeouts with the NetLinx master or more interactive

adjustment from the remote (i.e., direct volume control), to prevent issues with lost

commands. For more information on installing a ZigBee network, please refer to the

ZigBee Installation Guide, available at www.amx.com.

Connecting Power to the NXR-ZGW-PRO

The NXR-ZGW-PRO receives power via either PoE or 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-captive

wire connection, the NXR-ZRP only utilizes the 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-captive wire

connection. If PoE is selected, the NXR-ZGW-PRO will draw power through the

CAT5 Ethernet cable at approximately 60mA at 48V. If the 2-pin 3.5 mm 

mini-captive wire connector is selected, as in cases where the available power

through the Ethernet cable is insufficient for operation, the following steps are

necessary:

Preparing captive wires for the 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-captive wire

connector

You will need a wire stripper and flat-blade screwdriver to prepare and connect

the captive wires.

1. Strip 0.25 inch (6.35 mm) of wire insulation off all wires.

2. The PWR and GND cable from the 12 VDC power supply must be 

connected to the corresponding location on the 2-pin 3.5 mm 

mini-captive wire connector (FIG. 2).
