Introduction
1. Introduction
The ZigBee Wi-Fi/Ethernet Gateway Reference Design (RD-0001-0201) is designed to demonstrate ZigBee gateway functionality with
Silicon Labs ZigBee reference designs, such as Lighting Reference Designs (RD-0020-0601 and RD-0035-0601), ZigBee Contact Sensor Reference Design (RD-0030-0201), and ZigBee Capacitive Sense Dimmer Switch Reference Design (RD-0039-0201). The Gateway runs on a Raspberry Pi 2 computer with Debian Linux. The Gateway includes a web server that presents a user interface to a
desktop or mobile web browser. The web browser can run on a device on the local area network (LAN). A typical ZigBee system configuration with the ZigBee Wi-Fi/Ethernet Gateway is shown in the figure below.

Installation and Configuration
2. Installation and Configuration
2.1 Install the Silicon Labs EM3588 ZigBee USB Stick
Figure 2.1. ZigBee Wi-Fi/Ethernet Gateway
2.2 Supply Power to the Gateway
Connect power with the included micro-USB power adapter. The red power LED will illuminate on the Gateway and the green activity
LED will blink until the boot process has completed.
2.3 Connect to the Gateway Wi-Fi Access Point from a Handset, Tablet, or PC
Select the SSID “Silicon Labs ZigBee ABCD” where "ABCD" is an arbitrary hex number. Enter the passphrase “solutions” when prompted.

2.4 Connect the Gateway to the Internet with Ethernet
Note: The Internet connection with Ethernet is only required when installing or updating software, as described in the step below.
2.5 Install or Update Gateway Software
Launch a browser and navigate to http://192.168.42.1:3001/update to review the license agreement and download gateway software.
You can return to this page to check for periodic updates. After the gateway software installs, the gateway will reboot and it will be
necessary to repeat step 2.3.
Note: Internet connection with Ethernet is only required when installing or updating software.

Run the ZigBee Gateway
3. Run the ZigBee Gateway
After performing the steps 2.1 – 2.5 described in Section 2. Installation and Configuration, launch a web browser and navigate to http://
192.168.42.1 to access the gateway functions. To power off the gateway, remove the USB power adapter.
To power on the gateway, repeat steps 2.1 – 2.3 as described in Section 2. Installation and Configuration, then launch a web browser
and navigate to http://192.168.42.1 to access the gateway functions.
3.1 Setup
In the Network Maintenance section of the Setup tab, confirm that “ZigBee Network: Up” is shown. On first boot the PAN ID is randomly
assigned, the channel is set to 14, and the power is set to 20 dBm. This configuration can be changed by selecting the "Reform Network" configuration icon, and on subsequent boots the settings are restored. The PAN ID is a 16-bit number expressed in hexadecimal
format, the channel can be set to any valid ZigBee channel (11-26), and the valid power level range is –20 dBm to 20 dBm. Note that
range checking is enforced.
