Creating a ZigBee Network for the First Time
Schneider Electric provides accessories to mount the ZigBee key outside the cabinet. NOTE: Power to the Com’X must be removed before the Zigbee
dongle is inserted or removed from the Com’X.
For information, see the ZigBee Instruction Sheet. Use this procedure when a ZigBee network has never previously been created for the Com’X.

The ZigBee Settings screen is displayed.
- In the Activate ZigBee field, select Yes.
- (Optional) In the Channel field, select a ZigBee channel. If you leave the setting as --, the Com’X scans all available channels and automatically selects a channel for the ZigBee network. The channel with strongest signal is usually selected.
- In the Transmission power field,
select one of the following options:
- Standard power: Select this option when the ZigBee key and all ZigBee devices are in the same switchboard or cabinet.
- High power: Select this option when the ZigBee key is connected to the Com’X through a USB extension cable. You are asked to confirm that the ZigBee key is outside the switchboard or cabinet. Click OK to confirm.
- Click Save changes.
The setup takes about 60 seconds. When the network starts, the ZigBee status shows that the network is ready to be used, and the ZigBee key LED flashes green.
You can now use the ZigBee discovery function to connect devices to the network.
