NXR-ZGW-PRO NetLinx ZigBee Pro Gateway & NXR-ZRP-PRO NetLinx ZigBee Pro Repeater
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.
Try placing the antenna in a position that can best cover your wireless network. Normally, the
higher you place the antenna, the better the performance you receive.
Try to place the gateway and repeater devices a reasonable distance away from each other to
minimize antenna feedback.
For minimal interference, try to keep any installed NXR-ZGW-PRO at least 10 feet (3.048m) from
any WiFi access points.
FIG. 5 displays the coverage for various positioning of the antenna.
Connecting the Optional Accessory Antennas
Several accessory 2.4GHz antennas are available for use with NXR-ZGW-PRO and NXR-ZRP-PRO. Each of
these antennas is uniquely suited to meet a wide variety of installation requirements.
