About this task

The WRG1830 Wireless Router Gateway connects the building's BACnet IP Network to the ZFR183x Series Wireless network through the ZFR1831 Radio.

Note: Refer to ZFR1831 Pro Series Wireless Router Installation Guide (Part No. 24-11461-00004) for more information on the connection of the ZFR Radio.

Procedure

WRG1830 Wiring Connections

Figure 1. WRG1830 Connections
1. Wire the supplied ZFR1831 to the four-pin connector or RJ12 port as shown in Figure 1. Set the PAN OFFSET switches as required.
  
  Note: Only one ZFR1831 Radio can be connected to the WRG1830. The ZFR Radio end of line (ZFR EOL) switch should be set to ON.
  The FC BUS port is not available for use in the initial release of the WRG1830.
2. Plug the optional Wi-Fi adapter that comes with the WRG1830 into either of the USB ports.
  
  Note: Only use the WiFi access point for WRG or ZFR configuration and monitoring. You cannot connect to a building's IP network through the WiFi access point.
3. Alternatively connect the RJ45 Ethernet port to the building Ethernet network as instructed by the building IT department.
  
  Note: Use the Ethernet port to connect the WRG1830 to the building's BACnet IP supervisory system.
  
  You can also use the Ethernet Port for WRG or ZFR configuration and monitoring.
4. Connect power to the Wireless Router Gateway. After approximately 30 seconds, the Heartbeat LED will flash at a rate of two times per second to indicate that the WRG1830 is initializing. When the LED switches to a flash rate of one time per second you may start to use the WRG1830.

Connect to the Wireless Router Gateway using Wi-Fi, preferred method
1. Verify that the Wi-Fi Activity LED is ON.
2. Access the WiFi settings on your WiFi enable device, for example, mobile phone, tablet, or laptop.
3. Select the default WiFi SSID and enter the WiFi Passphrase.
  
  Note: The Wi-Fi Activity LED blinks when connected to the WRG access point.
4. Open a web browser and enter https:// IP Hostname as identified from the label in Wireless Router Gateway (WRG1830), into the browser address.
  
  Note: As an alternative to using the IP Hostname, you can use 192.168.142.1
Connect to the Wireless Router Gateway using Ethernet, alternate method
1. When connected to Ethernet, verify the Eth Activity LED blinks.
  
  Note: When connecting for the first time, plug your laptop directly into the WRG or into the same Ethernet subnet as the WRG.
2. Open a Web browser and enter the following address as idenitfied from the label, into the browser address: https:// IP Hostname .local
  
  Note: The WiFi SSID, WiFi Passphrase, and IP Hostname are found in the factory defaults, see Wireless Router Gateway (WRG1830).
Log in to the Wireless Router Gateway
1. Use the default UI Username and UI Password, as identified on the label, see Wireless Router Gateway (WRG1830).
2. Read and accept the WRG1830 license agreement.
Change passwords and SSID

The first time you log into the WRG1830, you will be forced to change the Admin password, Wi-Fi passphrase, and the WiFi SSID.

Important: After you change the Wi-Fi passphrase or SSID, the web server restarts and you need to rejoin the WRG1830 Wi-Fi network using the new SSID and passphrase. On some mobile devices and PC's, select and forget the original Wi-Fi network before you rejoin the network with the new passphrase.
Use the Wireless Router Gateway

When logged in, you can configure the WRG1830 using the Settings and Mesh Tools web pages as required for the installation. Once devices join the ZFR183x wireless mesh network and appear in the device list, you can use the WRG1830 to further view, commission, and configure the devices as needed. Refer to the WRG1830 Wireless Gateway User Guide (LIT-12013550) for more information.
