Configure XBee Gateway as a coordinator

The first device to configure with a custom PAN ID is the coordinator, which in this case is XBee Gateway. To change the PAN ID of your XBee Gateway:

  1. From a web browser, open the Home page of your XBee Gateway ZigBee and go to the XBee Network section from the left menu.

  2. Select the local XBee device for XBee Gateway. The XBee Configuration page appears.

  3. From the XBee Configuration page, open the Network Settings section.

  4. Type your custom PAN ID value in the Extended PAN ID (ID) field. Remember this value, as you will configure the other ZigBee nodes on the network with the same one.

  5. If XBee Gateway uses XBee security parameters, set the XBee security parameters (EE, EO, NK, KY) as needed. The security parameters are as follows:

    • EE: Enable or disable security in the network.

    • EO: Set the security policy for the network.

    • NK: Set the network security key for the network. If set to 0 (default), the device will use a random network security key.

    • KY: Set the trust center link key for the network. If set to 0 (default), the device will use a random network security key.

    For more information on these parameters, see the XBee/XBee-PRO® S2C Zigbee® RF Modules User Guide.

  6. Click Apply to save the changes in the device. After applying the changes, the coordinator initializes the ZigBee network with the new PAN ID.
