NPort Z3150 Series Introduction
1-2
Overview
The NPort Z3150 is a gateway that provides computers with an Ethernet interface to a ZigBee PAN. Unlike 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 control or monitor any ZigBee device in the PAN via the
NPort Z3150.
The following architecture is the application overview of the NPort Z3150. The NPort Z3150 can only act as the
ZigBee Coordinator (ZC). Thus, a converter such as the NPort Z2150 will be the ZigBee Router (ZR) and ZigBee
End Device (ZED).

Function Block
Connecting the Hardware
ATTENTION
Before connecting the hardware, follow these important wiring safety precautions:
Disconnect power source
Do not install or wire this unit or any attached devices with the power connected. Disconnect the power before
installation by removing the power cord before installing and/or wiring your unit.
Follow maximum current ratings
Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and common wi
re. Observe all electrical codes
dictating the maximum current allowable for each wire size.
If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could overheat, causing serious damage to your
equipment.
Use caution
- unit may get hot
The unit will generate heat during operation, and the casing may feel hot to the touch. Take care when handling
unit. Be sure to leave adequate space for ventilation.
The following guidelines will help ensure trouble-free signal communication with the NPort.
•Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices to avoid interference. Do not run signal or
communication wiring and power wiring in the same wire conduit. The rule of thumb is that wiring that
shares similar electrical characteristics can be bundled together.
•If power wiring and device wiring paths must cross, make sure the wires are perpendicular at the
intersection point.
•Keep input wiring and output wiring separate.
•Label all wiring to each device in the system for easier testing and troubleshooting

Connecting to the Network
Use the supplied Ethernet cable to connect the NPort to your Ethernet network. If the cable is properly
connected, the NPort will indicate a valid connection to the Ethernet as follows:
•A green Ethernet LED indicates a valid connection to a 100 Mbps Ethernet network.
•An orange Ethernet LED indicates a valid connection to a 10 Mbps Ethernet network.
•A flashing Ethernet LED indicates that Ethernet packets are being transmitted or received.
Connecting the Power
Connect the VDC power line (12 to 48 V) to the NPort’s power jack or terminal block. If power is properly
connected, the “Ready” LED will initially glow red. When the system is ready, the “Ready” LED will turn green.
Connecting to a Serial Device
Use a serial cable to connect your serial device to a serial port on the NPort.

Using the Telnet Console to Assign IP Address

NPort Z3150 Series Initial IP Configuration
3-2
Overview
This chapter presents several ways to assign the NPort’s IP address for the first time. Please refer to Chapter
2 for instructions on connecting to the network.
The web console is the recommended method for configuring the NPort. Please refer to Chapter 5 and 6 for
details on using the web console for configuration.
Factory Default IP Settings
Network Interface IP Configuration IP Address Netmask
LAN Static 192.168.127.254 255.255.255.0
If your NPort is configured to obtain its IP settings from a DHCP or BOOTP server but is unable to get a response,
it will use the factory default IP address and netmask.
ATTENTION
If you forget the IP address of your NPort, you can look it up using the NPort Search Utility. After NPort Search
Utility has found all NPorts on th
e network, each unit will be listed with its IP add
ress. Please refer to Chapter
7
for additional information on using NPort Search Utility.
Using ARP to Assign IP Address
The ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) command can be used to assign an IP address to the NPort. The ARP
command tells your computer to associate the NPort’s MAC address with the specified IP address. You must
then use Telnet to access the NPort, at which point the device server’s IP address will be reconfigured. This
method only works when the NPort is configured with default IP settings.
Select a valid IP address for your NPort. Consult with your network administrator if necessary.
Obtain the NPort’s MAC address from the label on its bottom panel.
From the DOS prompt, execute the arp -s command with the desired IP address and the NPort’s MAC address,
as in the following example:
arp -s 192.168.200.100 00-90-E8-xx-xx-xx
In this example 192.168.200.100 is the new IP address that will be assigned to the NPort, and
00-90-E8-xx-xx-xx is the NPort’s MAC address.
From the DOS prompt, execute a special Telnet command using port 6000, as in the following example:
telnet 192.168.200.100 6000
In this example, 192.168.200.100 is the new IP address that will be assigned to the NPort.
You should see a message indicating that the connection failed.
The NPort will automatically reboot with the new IP address. You can verify that the configuration was
successful by connecting to the new IP address with Telnet, ping, the web console, or NPort Search Utility.

Using the Telnet Console to Assign IP Address
1. Select Command Prompt from Accessories
2. Enter telnet 192.168.127.254 (the NPort’s default IP address) and click [OK].
3. Select 2 to select Network settings and press Enter
4. Input 1 to select IP address and press Enter
