A personal computer connected to the internet.

Write down the serial number located on the back of your XBee Gateway and XBee RF module. You will use these serial numbers later when accessing the gateway and adding the

devices to Device Cloud by Etherios™. Some digits of the serial number are the same for all models and are pre-filled below.

_____________________

Thank you for purchasing the XBee ZigBee Cloud Kit. This kit is designed to make it easy to set up your XBee ZigBee hardware and configure the online application. You will be able to see sensor data from your hardware kit on a web page and send data from the web down to your device. The components in this kit allow you to create highly customized solutions.

Connect XBee Module and Development Board Hardware

Connect one end of the USB cable to the development board and the other end to your computer.

Connect the power supply.

Optional: If using an Ethernet network connection in addition to Wi-Fi, connect one end of the Ethernet cable to your gateway and the other to a live Ethernet jack.

Startup Sequence -

After power is applied:

- The Power LED turns solid green.

- The XBee LED turns to blinking green if it has started a ZigBee network.

- The Network LED gradually turns solid green if the XBee Gateway can connect to Device Cloud.

More on these LED states is in LEDs and Startup States on the next page.

Startup Sequence - Locate the LED labeled

Associate on the

development board. The Associate LED will blink green when the XBee module joins a ZigBee network. Later in the setup process, you will verify that the XBee module joins the ZigBee network started by the XBee Gateway. This step is covered in Getting Started with Your XBee ZigBee Cloud Kit in the XBee User’s Guide.

4 Connect the XBee Gateway to the Network

Check with your network administrator on the Wi-Fi security mode and associated parameters for your network, including any passphrase or key used to connect to your Wi-Fi acccess point.

Once you are connected to the Wi-Fi network, on your PC, go to a web browser, and enter the URL of the XBee Gateway: http://192.168.100.1 Thee XBee Gateway web interface is opened.

On your PC, in your list of Wi-Fi network connections, connect your PC to the Wi-Fi network named xbgw-xx:xx:xx:xx:xx, where xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx is the serial number of the gateway.

In the web interface, navigate to Configuration > Wireless Network. On the Wireless Network Configuration page, under Interface Configuration, click Run Wizard to configure your device. You are asked to choose or enter several values:

- Step 1/Network SSID: Select the name (case-sensitive) of the Wi-Fi network access point the XBee Gateway will use to connect to the internet.

- Step 2/Select Security Mode and associated parameters: Select the security mode used for the Wi-Fi network connection, for example, Open

(no username / password / shared key) or WPA/WPA2 Personal (a shared key required). Depending on your security mode, you are prompted to enter additional parameters, such as the passphrase or key (case-sensitive) used to connect to your access point.

Once configuration is complete, your device will reconnect to your Wi-Fi access point, and then attempt to connect to Device Cloud. The connection may take several minutes. After your gateway connects to Device Cloud, the Network LED is solid green.

5 XBee Gateway LEDs and Startup States

No power.

Solid green XBee Gateway is powered.

OFF

Connect to a Wi-Fi Network

Power LED

XBee LED: Indicates the network connection status of the XBee RF module in the XBee Gateway to a ZigBee wireless network.

Once the XBee Gateway is deployed in a ZigBee network, the XBee LED behavior varies depending on whether the XBee Gateway acts as a coordinator or a router. For information on changing the XBee Gateway from a coordinator to a router, see the topic Join an Existing ZigBee Network in the XBee Gateway User’s Guide.

Solid green

The XBee RF module has not started or joined a network.

Blinking green

The XBee RF module has started or joined a network.

Connect to an Ethernet Network

Your XBee Gateway should be able to connect to the Ethernet network automatically, provided a DHCP server is available to assign an IP address to it and no firewalls block outgoing traffic to ports 3197 and 3199. If the Ethernet network does not come up, see the Troubleshooting topic of the XBee Gateway User’s Guide.

NOTE:

The XBee Gateway requires a DHCP server to assign its IP address. If you do not have a DHCP server, see the XBee Gateway User's Guide to configure your

IP parameters.

Blinking yellow (slow)

Operating system is running, but no network link is established or IP address assigned.

OFF

Blinking yellow - fast (1 blink per second)

A network issue has occurred. The two most common Device Cloud connectivity-related reasons for this state are:

1) The XBee Gateway cannot connect to a DNS server to resolve the Device Cloud server address.

2) The XBee Gateway cannot connect to an NTP time server to get the correct time. To resolve these issues, see the

Troubleshooting topic of the XBee Gateway User’s Guide.

Solid yellow An IP address has been assigned to the XBee Gateway.

Blinking green - fast (1 blink per second)

Device Cloud server found and the XBee Gateway is undergoing authentication.

Solid green XBee Gateway is connected to the Device Cloud server.

Solid yellow to blinking green XBee Gateway is attempting a connection to a Device Cloud server.

XBee Gateway operating system is not yet running.

Network LED

NOTE: The

XBee and Network LEDs remain dark during the initial boot of the device. All diagnosis related to these LEDs must be done after the device

has been running for at least 60 seconds.

Enable Access Point mode by pressing the button on your XBee Gateway once. This Access Point mode is active for five minutes.

Reconnect your PC to the same Wi-Fi network to which your XBee Gateway is connected.
