1.3 Before You Begin
Inspecting Your Shipment
Remove the packing slip and verify that you have received everything listed. Inspect
the container and equipment for signs of damage as soon as you receive the shipment.
Note any evidence of rough handling in transit. Immediately report any damage to the
shipping agent. The carrier will not honor damage claims unless all shipping material is
saved for inspection. After examining and removing the contents, save the packing
material and carton in the event reshipment is necessary.
If you need assistance, please contact the Customer Service Department nearest
you.

1.5 Description
The new, high-performance, high power, OMEGA® ZW-REC wireless receiver
provides Web-based monitoring of OMEGA’s IEEE 802.15.4 compatible wireless
transmitters.
The ZW-REC is IEEE 802.15.4 compliant and operates at 2.4 GHz. It is designed to
communicate up to 1000m1 (3280') to various wireless sensors including the all new
ZW-ED. The ZW-REC connects directly to an Ethernet network to serve active web
pages and display the data. It enables monitoring and recording of Temperature,
Humidity, and Barometric Pressure over an Ethernet network or the Internet without any
special software—just a Web Browser. OMEGA offers a wide variety of different
wireless sensors and transmitters to suit every application.
The ZW-REC offers expanded functionality over previous wireless receivers. The
ZW-REC can connect to up to 1282 wireless End Devices at once. The built in web
server supports encryption to protect your sensitive data. The ZW-REC can also
wirelessly update firmware for compatible End Devices and Sensors.
The ZW-REC is designed to require no software to setup and run. A standard web
browser can be used to monitor and chart all sensor readings. The browser can also be
used to configure the device’s IP address, passwords for access and overall
configuration parameters. Firmware updates for the ZW-REC itself, compatible End
Devices and sensors can also all be loaded directly from the web browser. The web
server supports HTTP over TLS (HTTPS) which provides a secure connection between
web browser and ZW-REC receiver.
Each ZW-REC receiver can support up to 128 End Devices and up to 8 receivers
can be setup in one area allowing for networks of up to 1024 total End Devices. For
large networks the Omega Dashboard web server software can be used to allow the
monitoring of devices connected to different receivers from a single webpage.
Without obstructions or interferences
Requires end devices that support IDs 32-128.

Figure 2.2 - DIP Switch Close Up
2.2 DIP Switches
The ZW-REC has two banks of DIP switched located on the back of the unit for
easy configuration.
DIP switches use a tweezer or small screwdriver to gently push the switch. Do not apply
excessive force.
Figure 2.2
shows a close up view of the switches. To change the
Setting the Network ID
The set of 8 switches on the left selects the Network ID. The Network ID (NID)
identifies which End Devices the ZW-REC communicates with. If there are multiple
Receivers deployed in the same area each one must be assigned a unique NID. Make
sure the same NID is selected on the ZW-REC and the End Devices you wish to
monitor. Only switches 5 – 8 are used. Do not use switches 1 through 4.
Some End devices only support NIDs 0 – 7. Other End Devices may require a PAN
ID for configuration. The PAN ID corresponding to each NID is listed in
Consult the user manual of each specific End Device for more information.

which switches correspond to the NID.

DHCP and Defaults
The set of 4 switches near the Ethernet port allow you to do some basic
configuration. Switches 1 and 4 are reserved and should not be used.
Switch 2 is used to reset the ZW-REC to factory defaults. This is useful if the IP
address or password to the ZW-REC is lost. To set the Receiver to factory default
settings perform the following steps:
Remove power from the ZW-REC.
Slide DIP switch #2 to ON position.
Power the ZW-REC on and wait about 10 seconds until the Receiver fully boots
up.
Set the DIP switch #2 back to OFF position
Note:
operation. When the switch is on, every time the unit is power-cycled the factory
settings are loaded. The switch may be changed while the unit is running but
this has no effect until the ZW-REC is reset or power cycled.
Switch 3 is used to force DHCP on. Changing Switch 3 to ON enables DHCP the
next time the ZW-REC is powered or reset. Turning on DHCP in the manner overwrites
the webpage setting. This is useful for situations where it is not possible to connect to
the default IP address. Please see
use DHCP.
To disable forced DHCP change Switch 3 to OFF and reset the device. DHCP
remains on until it is changed from the webpage or the device is reset to defaults.
Make sure that the DIP switch is set to OFF before resuming normal

2.3 Reset Button
Pushing the Reset Button while the ZW-REC is powered reboots the device.
Holding the Reset Button for 9 seconds resets the ZW-REC to its factory default
settings. To access the Reset Button carefully use a small screw driver or paperclip to
depress the switch through the pinhole shown in
force as this may damage the device.
