Hi All,

I've got a question about the firmware upgrading of an NXR-ZGW.

On AMX WebSite I've found three different firmware for this product and I've not understand the corret procedure to upgrade the firmware.

This is the firmware that I've found:

- NXR-ZGW NetLinx ZigBee Pro Gateway Firmware
- NXR-ZGW NetLinx ZigBee Pro End Device Firmware
- NXR-ZGW NetLinx ZigBee Pro Repeater Firmware

I don't uderstand how shoud I upgrade the firmware, if i've to upgrade all of them or just one.

I need to upgrade the firmware of a repeater to...

Thanks a lot

    If you update the firmware you need to update all devices on the network to the same firmware version so there's one for the gateways, another for repeaters if you have any and of course the end devices ie, R4 remotes.

    So yeah you may need to do all if you have repeaters but at least the gateway and end devices for a system w/o repeaters.

    yeah, but the R4 remote has different firmware? isn't it? so what End dvice firmware is used for?

    For the R4, you can use the End Device firmware to upgrade over the zigbee network.

    OK Great, so the repoeater firmware and the end device firmware are just stored into the ZigBee Gateway to upgrade the stuff over the ZigBee Net?

    How can I do that? does the Gateway do that automaticly for me?

    Thanks a lot for your help

    It is not automatic.

    Go to the first tab of the Utilities page of the gateway. You should see a list of all of the devices on your ZigBee network. The column on the far right will give you an upgrade status. If you need to put a remote in the cradle to upgrade it, it will tell you that as well.

    You can tell it to upgrade all, or only upgrade specific units. The gateway is limited to upgrading 2 devices at a time, so it will work through the list. The over the air upgrade take about 2 minutes with a good connection, and the web page will give you a progress update.

    The R3/R4 module file is the exact same firmware as the gateway end device.

    R4 drops off zigbee Network and sometimes does not reconnect.
