Commissioning Devices to a PAN

1. In the menu on the top of the NXR-ZGW Browser-Based Configuration Manager, select Pan/

Commissioning.

2. If the device is not on the network and is set to factory defaults, make sure the device is powered and click

the Allow Joining button.

3. Wait for the device to show up in the Commissioning tab.

4. Click on the EUI-64 link to open the Device Details page (page 29).

5. In the Extended PAN ID field, enter the desired Extended PAN ID for the device within the network. This

field will default to the current network.

6. Click Update Settings.

7. Repeat steps 1-6 for each device to be added to the network.

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. Clicking on the EUI-64 number of the device on the Commission Devices page will

open the PAN Device Details page for that device.

If the device is to remain on the network to which it is currently joined and no user defined AES key

is required, click Update Settings to complete commissioning.

If the device is to join a different network or a user defined AES key is required, enter the Extended

Pan ID of the network to join in the Extended Pan ID block and/or the user defined AES key in the

AES Key block and click Update Settings to complete commissioning.

Personal Area Network (PAN) - Commission Devices tab options

Auto Refresh: The current ability to automatically refresh the page to display new devices during the

scanning period: either "On" or "Off".

Refresh List: Manually refreshes the list of detected devices when pressed.

EIU-64: The resource number of a particular detected device.

Device Type: The type of device being commissioned. This information is provided by the device.

Description: A detailed description of the device being commissioned. This information is 

designated by the user.

Status: The current connection status of the device.

Allow Joining: This button, when pressed, allows devices to join the network.

When commissioning devices to a PAN, use only one gateway at a time. Allowing

joins on multiple gateways simultaneously can give unpredictable results.

If the existing ZigBee system contains a repeater and the user decides to form a new

PAN (through channel changing or an AES key update), the repeater must be

commissioned to the PAN first, before commissioning any devices.

If you try to commission any device before commissioning repeaters, you will see

duplicate entries for the same Extended PAN ID: one with "Join" status set to "no"

from the repeaters and another one with "Join" status set to "yes" from the gateway.

The PWR/STATUS LED (top LED) of the NXR-ZRP will remain on constantly when

commissioning is complete.
