Set the ZigBee wireless communication card options.
VWG ZigBee Settings
Those settings are where you set the ZigBee PAN ID. (Personal Area Network Identification) address and the
channel for the wireless communication card.
•
Gateway ZigBee PAN ID
. (Personal Area Network Identification). This is where the PAN ID of the
gateway is set. Range is from address 1 to 500. The default of “0” is not a valid PAN ID.
•
Channel Select.
This is where the current Channel frequency used by the gateway is set. Range is from
11 to 26. (2405 MHz to 2480 MHz, 5 MHz channel spacing) Please note that channel 26 is attenuated by 4
db compared to the other channels. The default of “10” is not a valid Channel.

It is important to click on the “SAVE” button for the new wireless parameters to take effect and the wireless
network to properly start.
IMPORTANT NOTES (Please Read Carefully ) :
•
For every thermostat reporting to a JENE (a maximum of 30 thermostats per JENE is recommended), be
sure you set the
SAME
PAN ID and Channel value at both the gateway and the thermostat(s).
•
When properly configured, the issue of RF interference and lost data between the gateway and the
thermostats can be avoided. Without proper care or proper software configuration serious interference
issues can happen.
•
Lynxspring recommends using only the 2 last channels (25-2575MHz and 26-2580MHz)
Lynxspring
recommends this purely as a practical tip for deployment in the field based on our experience. These 2
upper channels are not affected and are out of the range of IEEE802.11x Wi-Fi Channels spectrum
