Overview

NPort Z3150 is a gateway that provides computers with an
Ethernet interface to a ZigBee PAN. Un like a bridge, which logically
extends a PAN across an Internet connection, a gateway provides
network services on behalf of a ZigBee PAN. Software on any
computer can monitor any ZigBee device in the PAN via the NPort
Z3150.
