Viewing and Configuring End Devices

Once an End Device is connected to the ZW-REC it

is visible in the End Device Readings Page:

By default, End Devices are sorted by Device ID and

up to 10 End Devices are shown. Use the

and

buttons to show additional pages of End

Devices.

The refresh rate of the web page is shown in the

bottom left. This is how often the web page refreshes

the displayed data. This number does not reflect how

often the End Device takes readings.

Connected End Devices

and Sensors can be

configured by clicking

the settings icon in

the right column. Here

you can give the End

Device a name, change

the update interval and

add offsets to sensor

readings.

The update interval is

the frequency End

Devices transmit

readings. By default,

most End Devices send

one reading every 10

seconds. The update

interval greatly effects

the battery life of End Devices. The shorter the

update interval the shorter the battery life will be.

After making changes use the

Update

button to save

the settings.

ZW-REC Configuration

Once the ZW-REC is communicating with the End

Devices, finish configuration of the ZW-REC.

Click on the System tab in the upper right to bring up

ZW-REC System Settings. Login to the page using

the Administrator credentials shown in

Step 3.

The System information is shown at the top of the

page including firmware revision and PAN ID. Use

the PAN ID to configure UW Series devices. Click the

information icon for help with setting up zSeries and

zwSeries End Devices.

When the ZW-REC starts up, it performs an energy

scan to find a clear RF channel. This RF channel is

displayed in the Radio Section. To prevent the ZW-

REC from re-scanning when it is rebooted uncheck

the Enable Energy Scan box and press

Save

. This

allows End

Devices to

automatically

reconnect to

the ZW-REC

after a

reboot.

The Measurement Units section selects between SI

and Imperial units for temperature and pressure.

Select the desired units and press

Save

. End

Devices

with LCDs

will reflect

the new

settings

after they

transmit.

Other Features

The ZW-REC has many additional features to help

visualize your data and to integrate with your

network. You can change the IP Address to connect

to a different sub-net. The ZW-REC also integrates

with DHCP and DNS servers and full HTTPS

encryption is available.

An integrated chart page allows for local data

visualization and chart data can be saved to your

local computer. The ZW-REC also works with the

Omega Dashboard for comprehensive data logging,

charting and e-mail alarm notification.

manual.

Before You Begin

Warning:

The following parts of the unit

are ESD sensitive:

•

The Antenna

•

Metal connectors for the Antenna, USB Port, and

Power

The ZW-REC is designed to be operated in a clean

and dry environment. Care should be taken to

prevent the device from being exposed to moisture,

toxic chemicals, extreme cold or hot temperature that

are outside the specification listed in the user

manual.

Required Equipment

Before setting up a zwSeries wireless system ensure

you have the following components:

•

ZW-REC Wireless Receiver

•

ZW-ED or other compatible Wireless End

Device(s)

•

Measurement Probe (If required. Some End

Devices have Integrated Sensors)

•

Computer with a free Ethernet port and HTML5

capable web browser

•

Ethernet Cable (A crossover cable is required for

computers using older 10/100Base-T Network

Interfaces)

Configuring Your Computer

The ZW-REC is configured with a default static IP

Address of 192.168.1.200. Before connecting to the

ZW-REC, first configure your network adaptor so that

it is on the same sub-net.

For Windows:

•

Open Network and Sharing Center

•

Click

Change adaptor settings

•

Select your Network Adaptor

•

Click

Change settings of this connection

•

Select Internet Protocol Version 4

•

Click

Properties

��

Select Use the following IP address:

•

Enter 192.168.1.100 as the IP address

•

Click

Okay

Your computer is now setup to communicate with the

ZW-REC.

Setting up the ZW-REC

Before turning the ZW-REC on, first locate the DIP

switches on the back of the unit. These switches set

the Network ID (NID) which the ZW-REC uses to

identify which End Devices to communicate with. The

NID is set to Zero by default. Most End Devices also

have a default NID of Zero.

If NID Zero is used by an existing wireless

installation, change the NID using switches 5 – 8. If

older zSeries End Devices are used, do not use

switch 8. For more information on setting the NID

consult the full manual.

Attach the included antenna to the ZW-REC.

Power on the ZW-REC using the supplied AC

adaptor. The blue wireless link LED will flash and

then remain on.

Connect the ZW-REC to your computer using an

Ethernet cable. The Network Link and Activity LEDs

will light up to indicate the ZW-REC recognizes an

Ethernet Connection.

Open a web browser and navigate to:

http://192.168.1.200

A dialog box will appear asking for a user name and

password. Use the default Client login information

found below:

The Administrator information is required later.

Setting up an End Device

A blank End Device Readings page is shown once

you have logged into the ZW-REC webpage. As End

Devices are connected to the ZW-REC they appear

in this page.

To connect an End Device to the ZW-REC, first set

the NID of the End Device to be the same as the ZW-

REC. All zSeries and zwSeries devices ship with the

NID set to Zero.

End Devices require a Device ID (DID) to distinguish

between different devices in the network. Most End

Devices ship with a default DID of Zero. If more than

one End Device is being configured, each End

Device needs a unique DID. Please consult the End

Device User Manual for more information on setting

the DID.

UW Series End Devices use a 5 digit NID

called the PAN ID and refer to the DID as

the Address. To find the PAN ID add 13106

to the NID. If you are using a UW Series End Device

please consult the full ZW-REC and UW user

manuals for information on setting the PAN ID and

DID.

If your End Device requires a probe, connect the

probe before applying power to the device. End

Devices may not connect to the ZW-REC if the probe

is not connected.

Attach the included antenna to the End Device. (If

applicable)

Use the supplied batteries and/or AC adaptor to

power on your End Device.

zwSeries and zSeries End Devices blink

their Blue Link LED while searching for the

ZW-REC. Once connected the LED will

stop blinking and flash briefly after each

transmission.
