Device Configuration

NXR-ZGW-PRO NetLinx ZigBee Pro Gateway & NXR-ZRP-PRO NetLinx ZigBee Pro Repeater
Device Configuration
Changing the NXR-ZGW-PRO’s Device Number
Use the NetLinx Studio application (available from www.amx.com) to change the device address on a NetLinx
device. NetLinx Studio supports changing the Device Address information manually, or via ID Mode.
Refer to the NetLinx Studio on-line help ("NetLinx Device Addressing" section) for instructions.
Sending Firmware to The NXR-ZGW-PRO
Use the NetLinx Studio application (available from www.amx.com) to transfer firmware files to AMX devices.
Before Upgrading Firmware
Set up and configure your NetLinx Master. Refer to your particular NetLinx Master instruction
manual for detailed setup procedures.
Prepare the communication on the NXR-ZGW-PRO for use. Refer to the
Setting up a
network
section on page 13.
Refer to the NetLinx Studio on-line Help file for information on uploading firmware files via
Ethernet.
Cautionary Notes
If power or connection fails during a firmware upgrade, the file system may become corrupted.
A NXR-ZGW-PRO which is not using a valid username and password will not communicate with a
secured Master. If you are updating the firmware on a keypad which is not using a username or
password field, you must first remove the Master Security feature to establish an unsecured
connection.
When upgrading the devices on a Personal Area Network via the NXR-ZGW-PRO, note that only
two firmware files may be uploaded to the network at any time. To save bandwidth on large
networks, verify the position of the gateway, and do not upgrade all of the devices on a network at
once.
Preparing the Master for Communication via IP
Use the NetLinx Studio application (available from www.amx.com) to establish communications with a target
NetLinx Master. Obtain the IP Address of the target NetLinx Master (noting the IP Address and Gateway
information) from your System Administrator (or use NetLinx Studio to determine the IP information).
Refer to the NetLinx Studio on-line help ("NetLinx Network Setup" section) for instructions on
connecting to a NetLinx Master.
Verifying and Upgrading Device Firmware via IP
Upgrading firmware to the NXR-ZRP-PRO repeaters in a network, as well as any other ZigBee devices in a
network, is done through the
Browser-Based Configuration Manager
pages accessed through the NXR-ZGW-
PRO.

Allowing Firmware Updates To Individual Devices
on page 31 and the
Allowing Firmware Updates To All Devices On a Network
on page 32.
