1 Zigbee gateway with multiple NI700s

Hi,

I'm working on a 5 room system at the moment which has an NI700 in each room for controlling source equipment and a screen, with an accompanying MIO-R3 in each room.

However we only have 2 Zigbee gateways, I was led to believe we could put the gateways and masters on the netwrok and share a gateway between multiple processors, but reading through the manual it looks like you have to specify which master the gateway connects to when you set it up using it's web interface.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

    My understand is that you only have a single Gateway on a Zigbee network, not sure how you'd fair with 2 Zigbee Networks in a single space... for greater range you'll need the repeaters

    Otherwise this works fine - you need to declare a master to the gateway for it to connect up the ICSnet - once this is done with any of your masters, you just declare the R3's in code as normal in one master then declare them in the other masters as per the 1st Masters system no.

    ie

    Gateway - set master IP to 192.168.1.1 and declare a device ID (say 10101)

    System 1 - IP 192.168.1.1
    dvR3_1 = 10001:1:1
    dvR3_2 = 10002:1:1
    dvR3_3 = 10003:1:1
    dvR3_4 = 10004:1:1
    dvR3_5 = 10005:1:1

    System 2 - IP 192.168.1.2
    dvR3_1 = 10001:1:1
    dvR3_2 = 10002:1:1
    dvR3_3 = 10003:1:1
    dvR3_4 = 10004:1:1
    dvR3_5 = 10005:1:1

    etc

    Don't forget to add the IP address of the 4 masters to the URL list in Master 1. You'll get the Gateway pop up in the online tree of system 1 as 10101
    There are other ways I'm sure...
