Configure XBee Gateway with a custom PAN ID

In some cases, you want control of the PAN ID used to create your ZigBee network. Use a custom PAN ID and configure the coordinator, routers, and end devices to use it when there are other networks around and you do not want your router or end device nodes to join them.

To configure XBee Gateway with a custom PAN ID:

Open a web browser and type the URL of XBee Gateway: http://192.168.100.1. The XBee Gateway web interface appears.
Log in to the web interface:
- User name: The default user name is python. If that user name does not work, it may have been changed by your system administrator. Contact your system administrator for help.
- Password: The unique, default password is printed on the device label. If the password is not on the device label, the default password is dbps. If these defaults do not work, the password may have been updated. Contact your system administrator for help.
Under Configuration, click XBee Network.
Select the XBee Gateway local XBee device that you want to configure. The XBee Configuration page appears.
From the XBee Configuration page, click Network Settings.
Configure the Extended PAN ID (ID) option with your custom PAN ID value.
Click Apply to save the changes to the device. After applying the changes, the coordinator initializes the ZigBee network with the new PAN ID. If you had any other ZigBee nodes connected to the network, you must update their PAN IDs so they will join the new one.
