Enabling and Disabling the Wireless Network
1.
In the menu on the top of the NXR-ZGW Browser-Based Configuration Manager, select
Network
under
the section
Pan
.
2.
Click the radio button next to
Enabled
to enable the wireless network or select
Disabled
to disable the
network.
3.
Click
Accept
.
Enabling and Disabling the Use of a User-Defined Preshared Key
All devices in a PAN automatically have encryption of incoming and outgoing packets via a randomly
generated network key. Clicking
Enabled
on the
Preshared Key
entry allows use of a key applied to all devices
on the PAN.
The AES key is a 32-digit hexidecimal key with a colon (:) between each two digits. The numbers 0 through 9
and the letters A through F are valid for use in an AES key. This key may be generated by the user, or it can be
provided by the network. If you enable the Preshared Key entry but do not enter a key, the system will generate
a random key for you. Make sure to enter this AES key on every device within the PAN through the
Pan/
Connections
page (see the
Personal Area Network (PAN) - Connections tab
section on page 26).
If a user defined preshared key is desired and that key does not have 32 digits or if all digits are zero, the
system will recognize this as an invalid key and the user specified key will not be used.
If the network should become insecure, such as with a temporary power loss, then all unkeyed devices are lost
to the network. When a device is lost, the Browser-based Configuration Manager may need as much as 50
seconds to reflect this. Keyed devices will attempt to reconnect to the PAN, or to the nearest available PAN if
their chosen one is unavailable. Make sure to connect the gateway LAST.
Connecting an NXR-ZRP-PRO To the Network for the First Time
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 (see the
Personal Area Network (PAN) - Commission Devices tab
section on
page 27).
Clicking on the EUI-64 number of the device on the
Commission Devices
page will open the
PAN Device
Details
page for that device (see the
Personal Area Network (PAN) - PAN Device Details Page
section on
page 29).
It is suggested that only one gateway should set to allow joining when commissioning a network.
Personal Area Network (PAN) Network tab options (Cont.)
Encryption
The encryption status of the network. Encryption is always on in a ZigBee network.
Preshared Key
When this parameter is enabled, all devices in the network must be commissioned to have
the same preshared key to join the network.
AES Key
This is the user supplied preshared key value. It is a 32 digit hexadecimal key used for
communications between the gateway and a device when the device is joining.
Country/Region
Drop down menu; sets ZigBee region (US, Europe, Japan).
Channel
Drop down menu; sets the ZigBee operating channel between 11 and 26. The default chan-
nel is "Any". "Any" will look for the channel with the least interference.
The Extended PAN ID number is derived from the NXD-ZGW’s serial number, and
cannot be changed. If two devices in a network should somehow have the same
extended PAN number, then return the device to AMX.
If the PAN shows as "Offline" when the NXR-ZGW-PRO is in Standby Mode, update
the Master’s firmware.
Any change to network settings from the Browser-based Configuration Manager will
require formal joining of all network devices.
