Commissioning Devices to a PAN
1.
In the menu on the top of the NXR-ZGW Browser-Based Configuration Manager, select
Pan/
Commissioning.
2.
If the device is not on the network and is set to factory defaults, make sure the device is powered and click
the
Allow Joining
button.
3.
Wait for the device to show up in the
Commissioning
tab.
4.
Click on the
EUI-64
link to open the
Device Details
page (page 29).
5.
In the
Extended PAN ID
field, enter the desired Extended PAN ID for the device within the network. This
field will default to the current network.
6.
Click
Update Settings
.
7.
Repeat steps 1-6 for each device to be added to the network.
When a NXR-ZRP is powered on for the first time, it will be set to factory defaults and will join the first AMX
ZigBee Network that it detects with
Allow Joining
turned on. Once joined, it will appear on the list on the
Commission Devices
page. Clicking on the EUI-64 number of the device on the
Commission Devices
page will
open the
PAN Device Details
page for that device.
If the device is to remain on the network to which it is currently joined and no user defined AES key
is required, click
Update Settings
to complete commissioning.
If the device is to join a different network or a user defined AES key is required, enter the Extended
Pan ID of the network to join in the
Extended Pan ID
block and/or the user defined AES key in the
AES Key
block and click
Update Settings
to complete commissioning.
Personal Area Network (PAN) - Commission Devices tab options
Auto Refresh:
The current ability to automatically refresh the page to display new devices during the
scanning period: either "On" or "Off".
Refresh List:
Manually refreshes the list of detected devices when pressed.
EIU-64:
The resource number of a particular detected device.
Device Type:
The type of device being commissioned. This information is provided by the device.
Description:
A detailed description of the device being commissioned. This information is
designated by the user.
Status:
The current connection status of the device.
Allow Joining:
This button, when pressed, allows devices to join the network.
When commissioning devices to a PAN, use only one gateway at a time. Allowing
joins on multiple gateways simultaneously can give unpredictable results.
If the existing ZigBee system contains a repeater and the user decides to form a new
PAN (through channel changing or an AES key update), the repeater must be
commissioned to the PAN first, before commissioning any devices.
If you try to commission any device before commissioning repeaters, you will see
duplicate entries for the same Extended PAN ID: one with "Join" status set to "no"
from the repeaters and another one with "Join" status set to "yes" from the gateway.
The PWR/STATUS LED (top LED) of the NXR-ZRP will remain on constantly when
commissioning is complete.
