NXR-ZGW-PRO NetLinx ZigBee Pro Gateway
Overview
The NXR-ZGW-PRO (FG5791-11) is an Ethernet to ZigBee wireless gateway,
designed as the center of a ZigBee Pro network. The NXR-ZGW-PRO features a
10/100BaseT, auto-negotiating Ethernet port capable of Power over Ethernet
(PoE), 16 Mbytes of Flash, 16 Mbytes of SDRAM, and a ZigBee Pro transceiver,
and is controlled via a web server interface.
Specifications
Things To Consider Before Starting
Several factors will help decide the best place to install NXR-ZGW-PRO gateway
devices. Before installing, consider the following:
Location and Antenna Direction
The best location for NXR-ZGW-PRO devices are usually in the center of your
wireless network, with line of sight to all of your mobile devices. Try to place the
antenna in a position that can best cover your wireless network. Normally, the
higher you place the antenna, the better performance you receive.
Note: For minimal interference, try to keep any installed NXR-ZGW-PRO at least
10’ (3.048m) from any WiFi access points.
NOTE (Mio R-3 or R-4 Users): Due to the wireless nature of the ZigBee
network, temporary interference (such as leaving a room or large objects
passing between the controller and its gateway device) may prevent a command
from reaching the NetLinx master. If this happens while increasing volume,
the master may receive the command to increase the volume but not the
command to stop increasing it. Therefore, programmers should consider
setting safeguards for volume control, either established volume limits or
timeouts with the NetLinx master or more interactive adjustment from the remote
(i.e., direct volume control), to prevent issues with lost commands.

Installation Guide, available at www.amx.com.
Connecting Power to the NXR-ZGW-PRO
The NXR-ZGW-PRO receives power via either PoE or 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-captive
wire connection, the NXR-ZRP only utilizes the 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-captive wire
connection. If PoE is selected, the NXR-ZGW-PRO will draw power through the
CAT5 Ethernet cable at approximately 60mA at 48V. If the 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-
captive wire connector is selected, as in cases where the available power
through the Ethernet cable is insufficient for operation, the following steps are
necessary:
Preparing captive wires for the 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-captive wire
connector
You will need a wire stripper and flat-blade screwdriver to prepare and connect
the captive wires.
1. Strip 0.25 inch (6.35 mm) of wire insulation off all wires.
2. The PWR and GND cable from the 12 VDC power supply must be
connected to the corresponding location on the 2-pin 3.5 mm
mini-captive wire connector (FIG. 2).
3. Tighten the clamp to secure the two wires. Do not over-torque the screws.
