2. Introduction to the Q53 ZigBee / 802.15.4 GatewayWhat is the Q53?9 Q53 Installation and Configuration Guide © Exegin Technologies Limited, 20132INTRODUCTION TO THE Q53 ZIGBEE / 802.15.4 GATEWAYThis chapter describes the Q53’s architecture and special features. The topics included are:•What is the Q53? on page 9•Physical Features on page 9•How Does the Q53 Work? on page 10•Product Features on page 11What is the Q53?The Q53 ZigBee / 802.15.4 Gateway provides computers with a secure TCP/IP network interface to a ZigBee PAN.Using SOAP or REST, open, well-supported, industry-standard remote procedure call (RPC) protocols.Physical FeaturesThe key physical components of the Q53 are:• a 10/100 network interface connector to connect to the network• 2.4 GHz radio for connection to ZigBee PANs• Flash memory to store firmware and user-configurable settings• High-performance 32-bit microprocessor subsystem for speed, efficiency and reliabilityFor more detailed specifications of the Q53, please see chapter 12, Q53 Specifications.
2. Introduction to the Q53 ZigBee / 802.15.4 GatewayHow Does the Q53 Work?10 Q53 Installation and Configuration Guide © Exegin Technologies Limited, 2013How Does the Q53 Work?The Q53 implements the ZigBee Gateway specification as defined by the ZigBeeAlliance; see www.zigbee.org to obtain a copy. This standard specifies remote procedure call method based on Web services (SOAP and REST) and ASN.1based application level protocols. Through user created host applications the Q53's SOAP and REST interface can be accessed using the encoding schemes detailed in Gateway Specification. The Q53 does not currently implement the ANS.1 interface. In the case of SOAP, the message formats are defined through the use of an xml encoded schema and a WSDL which can be found in the ZigBee Gateway specification. The specification also details the format of the RESTful HTTP messages.Either of these interfaces can be accessed through the use of user created Web Services client applications or third party tools such as eviware’s soapUI tool. Exegin provides a sample Microsoft Visual Studio project, on our web site at http://exegin.com/downloads/Q53_VSC.zipwhich implements a number of simple SOAP based interactions with a Q53 gateway.The Q53 implements the mandatory subset of functions of the Gateway Specification. The Exegin specific schema and WSDL are available in the example Q53_VSC project package.Note that the contents of this package may change at anytime and that Exegin Technologies makes no warranties regarding the usability or reliability of the contents of the package. The package is simply an example of how one might use a gateway.

12 Q53 Installation and Configuration Guide © Exegin Technologies Limited, 20133. Installing the Q53Site Requirements3INSTALLING THE Q53This chapter describes the following:•Site Requirements on page 12•Unpacking the Q53 on page 13•Connecting the Q53 to a Network on page 13Site RequirementsPrepare to install the Q53 in a clean, well-ventilated environment protected from extremes of temperature, humidity, mechanical shock, or vibration. Provide enough space at the back of the unit for cable connections.Depending upon the specific options selected at time of ordering, the Q53 may be powered from a 115 or 230 VAC outlet using the supplied external transformer through a output cord to a barrel-style power connector, or over the Ethernet cable (Power Over Ethernet - PoE) from an Ethernet switch providing power as defined in the IEEE standard 802.11af. If using the external AC transformer, prepare to install the Q53 within four meters (13 feet) of a grounded 115 or 230 VAC outlet.The Q53 must be installed within RF range of the local ZigBee wireless PAN, in order to connect to the PAN and therefore bridge it over the TCP/IP network to the remote PAN. The maximum distance from the Q53 to the nearest ZigBee PAN node will vary depending upon the installation environment and capabilities of the other ZigBee node(s).The Q53 is an intentional radiator of Radio Frequency (RF) energy. In order to limit RF exposure to personnel in the immediate area, the Q53 should be located and installed such that a separation of at least 20 centimeters is maintained between the Q53’s antenna and personnel in the vicinity of the device.Note: ESD precautions should be used when attaching or removing the antenna.
13 Q53 Installation and Configuration Guide © Exegin Technologies Limited, 20133. Installing the Q53Unpacking the Q53Unpacking the Q53Upon receiving the Q53, check the packaging for any damage or missing pieces. Immediately report problems to the shipping company or vendor.Connecting the Q53 to a NetworkThere are two DIP switches on the rear surface (Figure 1) of the Q53. Table 2 on page 15 lists the different modes controlled by dipswitch 1 and 2. Ensure that dipswitch 1 and dipswitch 2 are set to the "off" position for normal operations. They are in the "off" postion when shipped from the factory.Table 1—Q53 Packing ListZigBee / 802.15.4 Gateway •Q53• Power SupplyAntenna • 2.4 GHz Antenna

15 Q53 Installation and Configuration Guide © Exegin Technologies Limited, 20133. Installing the Q53Connecting the Q53 to a NetworkUse the RJ45 network connector, located on the side panel of the Q53 (see Figure 2), for attaching to a 10/100Base-T (UTP) network. Plug a network cable into the network connector. If installing a Q53 without the Power Over Ethernet (POE) option, insert the three-prong power cable of the AC adapter into an AC outlet, and insert the barrel power connectors into the POWER connector on the side panel of the Q53; this will power on the device.Figure 2—Q53 Side ViewTable 2—Q53 Dipswitch SettingsDipswitch Comments12OFF OFF Normal operation. With both dipswitches in the "OFF" position, the unit will boot up using the settings in Flash rather than the default settings. Dipswitch 2 is in the "OFF" position from the factory so that the new settings that you store will be used.ON OFF Factory default settings. With the dipswitches in this configuration, the unit will boot up and all settings stored in Flash will be erased except the Ethernet address and key value.OFF ON Default IP (0.0.0.0). With the dipswitches in this configuration, the unit will boot with factory default settings, but the stored settings in Flash remain intact. This enables you to set an IP Address of your own. Setting dipswitch 2 to "ON" will not clear any settings that you have stored in Flash. It simply boots the unit in a different state with the settings in Flash temporarily ignored.ON ON Factory bootloader mode. Do not use this mode except as directed by Exegin technical support.
16 Q53 Installation and Configuration Guide © Exegin Technologies Limited, 20133. Installing the Q53Connecting the Q53 to a NetworkTwo LED indicators are used to indicate Ethernet link integrity (see Figure 2). The green LED at the bottom left of the UTP network connector will be illuminated when a 100 MB/S link is established over the network connection, or extinguished otherwise. The red LED at the bottom right of the UTP network connector will be illuminated when a 10 MB/S link is established over the network connection, or extinguished otherwise.Figure 3—Q53 Top View: LED Status IndicatorsWatch the LED indicators on the top panel as they cycle through the power-on self-test. When the test is complete, the STAT LED will flash once per second or, if there is no IP address configured, twice per second (see Gecko on page 18 for instruction on how to configure an IP address).

You can start a Telnet session on a UNIX- or Windows-based computer which is connected to the network, to log in to the Q53 command line interface shell to alter and view settings. Syntax: telnet ipaddressExample:telnet 192.168.11.9This will bring up the Q53 login prompt. Enter "root" for the User ID and press either ENTER at the password prompt or, if a password has been set, then type it in and press ENTER.PingYou can use the "ping" command to check that an assigned IP address (for example, the IP address for the Q53) is active.Syntax:ping IPaddressFor example:ping 192.168.11.9The response will indicate whether the IP address is active or not.
20 Q53 Installation and Configuration Guide © Exegin Technologies Limited, 20135. Configuring the Q53 on Your NetworkRequired TCP/IP Settings5CONFIGURING THE Q53 ON YOUR NETWORKThis chapter describes how to configure the required and optional TCP/IP settings for the Q53 on your network. The following steps are covered:•Required TCP/IP Settings:•Configuring an initial IP address for the Q53 on page 20•Configure the Q53 IP address and subnet mask on page 21•Optional TCP/IP Settings:•Communicating across routers on page 25•Using Host and Domain Names on page 26•Troubleshooting Tips on page 27.Once the TCP/IP network port is configured on the Q53, additional configuration is required to connect the Q53 to the local ZigBee Personal Area Network (PAN), and also to bridge that local PAN to another remote PAN over TCP/IP. Please refer to Q53 Zigbee PAN and Bridge Configuration on page 33 for details on ZigBee and bridge configuration.Required TCP/IP SettingsConfiguring an initial IP address for the Q53Since the Q53 has no physical user interface such as a display or keyboard, all operating parameters must be configured by means of a TCP/IP network connection from a separate computer. However, the Q53 must first be assigned an IP address in order to function on a TCP/IP network. This raises the question of how to configure a Q53 when it is first installed on the network fresh from the factory.As delivered from the factory, the Q53 is configured to request an IP address from a DHCP server when attached to a TCP/IP network. If a DHCP server exists on the network, then the IP address assigned to the Q53 may be determined by querying the DHCP server using its administration interface and locating the IP address of the desired Q53 by matching its Ethernet MAC address. Please refer to the documentation for the particular DHCP server used to determine how this may be done.As an alternative, Exegin provides a utility program called Gecko which is capable of locating any configured or unconfigured Q53 device attached to the TCP/IP subnet, and assigning an initial IP address to it to facilitate subsequent configuration through a telnet or HTTP connection. Please refer to Using Gecko (Windows) on page 23 for details on how to do this.

Test the equipment and configuration after installation is complete.ping Q53IPaddressAn Important Note Once you have configured the unit using any of the above methods, the STAT LED will flash once per second. This means the Q53 is configured and recognizable on the network.The STAT LED will flash when the IP Address is configured; it does not mean that the unit is properly configured, only that an IP address has been saved.
25 Q53 Installation and Configuration Guide © Exegin Technologies Limited, 20135. Configuring the Q53 on Your NetworkOptional TCP/IP SettingsOptional TCP/IP SettingsCommunicating across routersSince Windows and UNIX environments depend on TCP/IP to communicate with the Q53, crossing routers can be an issue.After following one of the Q53 configuration methods described above, you will only be able to communicate with the Zigbee gateway device from the same subnet. This means that the Q53 will not be able to communicate across a router (i.e., to another subnet). To allow the Q53 to communicate across a router, it is best to store a default router/gateway within the Zigbee gateway device so that any packets destined for another subnet are forwarded to this router automatically. The router (or series of routers) can then ensure the packets arrive at their final destination on the other subnet.You can configure a default router/gateway within the Q53 using either the Q53 HTML forms or the TCP/IP telnet command.Using HTML forms 1. Follow the instructions for accessing the Network TCP/IP form (page 21).2. Enter the address of the default gateway in the Default Gateway field.3. Click on "Submit" when done.4. Go to the Restart page and click on "Restart" to apply the new settings to your system.

Type "list net" to view the Zigbee gateway device’s current settings, then configure the Q53’s default router/gateway as follows:store net gateway routerIPaddress4. Logout of the Telnet session with "quit". Then restart the Q53 by powering the unit off and then on again.Using Host and Domain NamesThe Q53 allows entry of most IP addresses either in ’dotted quad’ form or as a symbolic host names. Host names have the advantage that they are easier to remember and are not tied to a specific IP address.The translation from host name to IP address is performed by a Domain Name Server (DNS). In order to use host names, the IP address for the DNS server as well as the domain name suffix must be specified at configuration time.Using HTML forms 1. Follow the instructions for accessing the TCP/IP Settings form (page 21).2. Enter the IP address of the Domain Name Server in the DNS Server Address field. Note: this address must be entered in dotted quad format.3. Enter the suffix of the domain name in the DNS Domain Suffix field.4. Click on "Submit" when done.5. Go to the Restart page and click on "Restart" to apply the new settings to your system.

The address is already in use.• Ensure that you have assigned an IP address that is not being use by another device. Unable to assign temporary IP. The device is not responding. The network may be down, or an invalid IP address has been used.• Ensure that the IP address that you used is valid for your network.Q53 will not talk on the network• Have you assigned it a unique and valid IP address which corresponds with the other IP addresses on your network? For example, are you sure no other device is using this IP address, that the subnet mask is the same as other hosts on the network, and that the unique IP address is part of the network specified by the subnet mask specified?• Are you sure you are trying to talk to the Q53 from a host on the same subnet? The Zigbee gateway device can only be seen locally unless you configured a routing entry earlier on.• Is the STAT LED on the front of the Q53 flashing once per second or is it flashing faster? A slower, once-a-second rate indicates that the Zigbee gateway device is in fact configured with an IP address. A faster rate indicates that the Q53 is unaware of the IP address and you may need to try the configuration process again.
28 Q53 Installation and Configuration Guide © Exegin Technologies Limited, 20135. Configuring the Q53 on Your NetworkTroubleshooting Tips• Have you confirmed the network connection to the Q53 is working correctly? Trying different network cables and locations will help narrow down the problem.Cannot ping the Q53There are a number of possible reasons for this:• Have you restarted the Q53? Sometimes this will solve various communication problems.• Is the network cable securely connected?• Have you checked your network connection to the Q53? Try it at a new location on your network if possible or swap in another device.• Have you made an entry in your computer’s host table (/etc/hosts, host nis map, or DNS name table) for the Q53?• Have you tried to ping with the IP address instead of the IP name? This will eliminate any name-lookup issues and focus more on the communications between the Q53 and your host.• Is it possible that a duplicate IP address has been assigned?• Did you use the correct netmask for your particular environment?• Has the Q53 been moved from another network? If so, it will likely need to be reconfigured to integrate with its new location. This includes at minimum a new IP address and netmask. Please see Resetting to Factory Defaults on page 70 for possible configuration methods.• Is there a router between the Q53 and your host? If so, a default router or a static route must be configured on the unit so the Q53 knows how to get its response back to the originating host. Please see Communicating across routers on page 25.• Do you have a DHCP or BOOTP server running on your network? By default, the Q53 comes with the DHCP and BOOTP request turned on so although you may have stored a particular network configuration in the unit’s EEPROM, a DHCP or BOOTP server may supply new network parameters upon bootup. To turn off DHCP and BOOTP on the unit, please see Configure the Q53 IP address and subnet mask on page 21.If none of these help, try the following:• Reset the unit to default settings. Please see Resetting to Factory Defaults on page 70. Once the unit is in the default state, use one of the configuration options listed in the "Q53 Configuration" above in the manual to reconfigure it.Cannot Telnet to the Q53If you are unable to ping the Q53 as well, please see Cannot ping the Q53 on page 28. If it is telnet only that you are having problems with, these points should be considered:• Are you able to telnet to another host on your network or telnet from another host? If not, look into your host’s TELNET configuration.
29 Q53 Installation and Configuration Guide © Exegin Technologies Limited, 20135. Configuring the Q53 on Your NetworkTroubleshooting Tips• Have you tried restarting the Q53?• Are the dipswitches in the "off" position?• Does the fourth octet of the Q53’s given IP address equal 0 or 255? Each of the four octets in the IP address should be between 1 and 254.HTML configuration forms will not display• Can you "ping" the Q53 from your Windows station? If not, please see Cannot ping the Q53 on page 28.• Have you used the correct URL for the Q53’s home page? It should be: http://Q53IPaddress For example:http://192.168.11.9

Reference InformationQ53 Command Line Interface Shell9REFERENCE INFORMATIONThis chapter describes some of the most common features of the Q53 including:•Q53 Command Line Interface Shell on page 62: a description of the built-in command line interface shell, along with a table of the most common commands•Complete Command Reference on page 64: syntax and descriptions of all commands available in the command line interface shell•Q53 Naming Scheme on page 70: important predefined names•User Accounts and Permissions on page 70: logging in as a "root" or "guest" user•Resetting to Factory Defaults on page 70: how to reset the unit to factory default settings•Performing Firmware Upgrades on page 71: a complete overview of the Flash upgrade procedure.Q53 Command Line Interface ShellWithin the Q53, the command line interface shell is built into the firmware. It allows you to manipulate objects such as sntp, and sysinfo and also provides some monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities.Command Line Interface access methodsAccess the command line interface shell using these methods:HTML Forms When you configure a setting using the built-in HTML configuration forms, shell commands are actually executed remotely on the Q53.Telnet Session Opening a Telnet session with the Q53 allows you to log into the device and access the command line interface shell. (e.g. "telnet 192.168.11.9")
63 Q53 Installation and Configuration Guide © Exegin Technologies Limited, 20139. Reference InformationQ53 Command Line Interface ShellMain command prefixesThe three main command prefixes within the command line interface shell are:store change settings stored in Flash. When the "store" prefix is used, the Q53 must be restarted to apply the changes to the system. Since "store" affects Flash settings only, the Zigbee gateway bridge device must reset and read the new settings now in Flash. set change current/working settings in memory. When the "set" prefix is used, a "save" command must be executed as well so that the new settings are retained after power cycles. Since "set" only affects the settings in memory, they will be lost after a power cycle unless they are saved into Flash ROM.list view current/working settings in memory.Command shell promptWhen the command shell is accessed through a Telnet session, a prompt is displayed after login to indicate that it is ready to accept a command from the user. The Telnet prompt is formatted ipaddress:userid> where IPaddress is the IP address of the Q53 and userid is the user ID of the currently logged-in user. For example, 192.168.11.32:root>where 192.168.11.32 is the Q53’s IP address and the user is root.Getting command helpThe Q53’s command line interface shell provides several on-line help tools. These include:"?" Command Typing "?" once logged in to the command line interface shell will produce a full listing of all commands available.Command Prefixes Typing in the beginning of a command will produce an error message showing the correct syntax. For example, typing in "store tcpip" will produce a list of all commands that start with this prefix.Common command shell commandsThe command line interface shell consists of more than 50 commands. Table 3 outlines some of the more common commands. For a complete command reference, please refer to Complete Command Reference on page 64.Table 3—Common CommandsCommand Syntax Descriptionstore net addr IPaddress Store the IP address for the Q53.

66 Q53 Installation and Configuration Guide © Exegin Technologies Limited, 20139. Reference InformationComplete Command ReferenceSet commandsThese commands alter the current or working settings in memory only. They will be lost if the Q53 is turned off then on. To ensure this does not happen, be sure to issue a "save" command so the current settings get written to Flash.Table 5—Set Command OptionsCommand Syntax Descriptionset sysinfo hostname hostname Set a hostname for use with DDNS. For example:set sysinfo hostname Q53Plan2set sysinfo contact contactnameSet a person or department to contact in case of Zigbee gateway bridge device trouble. For example:set sysinfo contact HelpDeskx255set sysinfo location newname Set a descriptive name defined by newname for the Q53 for identification purposes. This is not used in the operation of the Zigbee gateway bridge device in any way.For example:set sysinfo name southwall_level2set sysinfo from default Set all sysinfo settings back to factory defaults.set user passwd username passwordAssign a password to a defined user on the Q53. This password must be less than eleven characters. The username must be either root or guest. If the new password is not entered, the user’s old password will be cleared.For example:set user passwd root mplex1If you forget the root password, you can set the dipswitchs to restore settings to factory defaults. See Resetting to Factory Defaults on page 70.set user from default Set all user settings back to factory defaults.set user from stored Set all current user settings to the stored values in Flash.
67 Q53 Installation and Configuration Guide © Exegin Technologies Limited, 20139. Reference InformationComplete Command ReferenceStore commandsThese commands change the settings stored in Flash (permanent memory) and do not affect the current or working settings in memory. A power cycle is needed before the stored settings become current.Table 6—Store Command OptionsCommand Syntax Descriptionstore ifc from default Set all network settings back to factory defaults.store ifc from current Store all current network settings to Flash so they are retained after a power cycle.

Usually the packets value ranges from 2-8 with the lower number allowing for more simultaneous TCP connections with the Zigbee gateway bridge device.For example:store net rxwin 2Table 7—Miscellaneous CommandsCommand Syntax Descriptionclose <SD>|all Close the network connection defined by the socket descriptor. Socket descriptors can be obtained using the netstat command.If the argument all is entered, then all active network connections will be terminated, including the telnet session in which the command was entered.load [default] Load the settings stored in Flash and use them as the current or working settings. If default is specified as well, factory settings will be loaded. Use this after power failure to restore settings saved in Flash.netstat Display current network status, including TCP packet statistics and the current state of each TCP and UDP socket in the system.Table 6—Store Command OptionsCommand Syntax Description
69 Q53 Installation and Configuration Guide © Exegin Technologies Limited, 20139. Reference InformationComplete Command Referenceping [-s] hostIPaddress [datasize [packetnumber]]"ping" another TCP/IP host, specified by hostIPaddress, on the network. datasize is the datagram packet size which defaults to 64 bytes if no size is included in the syntax and packetnumber is the number of requests to be sent.To use a host or IP name instead of the address, you must have set the DNS server on the Q53. Use the command "set sysinfo dns..." to do this.For example:ping 192.168.11.30quit Close the telnet command session.restart Perform a warm boot or hardware reset simulating a power-on reset. This will restore current settings to those stored in Flash as the Flash settings will be read and loaded into memory upon bootup.save [default] Save the current settings to Flash so they are remembered after power cycles. Sysinfo, user, and sntp settings will be saved. If default is specified as well, factory settings will be saved to Flash overwriting any new settings you have configured. Resetting the unit is not required.Table 7—Miscellaneous CommandsCommand Syntax Description
70 Q53 Installation and Configuration Guide © Exegin Technologies Limited, 20139. Reference InformationQ53 Naming SchemeQ53 Naming SchemeThe Q53 always follows this naming scheme: exgnxxxxx A default name of ‘exgn’ is followed by "xxxxx", the serial number found on the bottom of the Zigbee gateway bridge device. For example: exgn00091 User Accounts and PermissionsWhen you log into the Q53, you either log in as a guest or as a root user. The commands you will be able to utilize on the print server depend on which login name you use. By default, there is one root user and one guest user; users can then be added to this with either permission level.Users with root permission can execute all commands: users with guest permission can not do any configuration and can only execute commands that display settings on the Q53. However, they can use ping and telnet as well.Use list user on page 65 to look at current user definitions. Use set user passwd username password on page 66 to see how the root user can change these settings.Resetting to Factory DefaultsSometimes it is beneficial to return the Q53 to its factory default state. For example, if you are having problems communicating with the Zigbee gateway bridge device over the network, you may want to put it back to a default state and reconfigure the network settings. To reset to factory defaults:1. Move dipswitch 1 to the "off" position and dipswitch 2 to the "on" position as described in Table 2, Q53 Dipswitch Settings, on page 15. This is the Factory Settings mode2. Restart the unit by cycling the power off, then on. You now have the Q53 booted into a default state, meaning its current/working settings are those stored at the factory. All settings configured and stored in Flash are ignored while the dipswitches are in the "Factory Settings" position.At this point, you can use shell commands on the Q53 to configure certain settings. Here are some common examples of steps taken when the device is in a default state:

Manually reset the Q53 to resume normal operation.Watchdog halt The watchdog timer is a hardware device that resets the system if not serviced regularly by the CPU. It’s purpose is to prevent the CPU from entering an infinite loop because of a hardware or firmware problem. After a watchdog interrupt, some diagnostic information is saved for debugging and the device resumes operation in Auto-reset Mode. The Q53 will auto-reset up to 16 times before entering non-operational Watchdog Halt.Spurious halt Unsupported interrupts force the Q53 into this non-operational mode and typically indicate a hardware problem.Hardware exception Internal errors such as bus errors, address errors or illegal instructions force the Q53 into this non-operational mode.
