JN-UG-3096 v1.1 © NXP Laboratories UK 2013
The Smart Home Demonstration represents a typical JenNet-IP system in which a
WPAN of lights can be controlled from a PC located in a LAN or WAN. Normally,
the interface between the WPAN and LAN/WAN domains is provided by a Linksys
router and a JN5168 USB Dongle (both supplied in the evaluation kit).
The IoT Gateway can replace the USB dongle in this demonstration, with the
gateway providing the processing platform for the JenNet-IP LAN/WAN and WPAN
stacks as well as radio communication with the WPAN. The Linksys router must be
connected to the IoT Gateway via an Ethernet cable (supplied in this kit). The
resulting system is shown below.

In setting up and using the above demonstration system, the instructions provided
in the
JN516x-EK001 Evaluation Kit User Guide
remain valid with the exception of
the references to the JN5168 USB Dongle and the IPv4 address of the Border-
Router. In the instructions, the IPv4 address 192.168.11.1 must be replaced with
the dynamically assigned (DHCP) IPv4 address of the IoT Gateway.
Note:
Any standard IP router can be used as the DHCP server instead of the
Linksys router (the JenNet-IP firmware in the Linksys router is no longer required).
