| Interface monitor/control | Traverse nodes and offers interface for control and callbacks for monitoring | |
| Node identification | Classify and identify nodes by function | |
| Grouping | Group for the application-specific purpose | |
| Sleeping nodes | Queue commands for sleeping nodes | |
| Firmware update | Update node firmware | |
| Polling facility | Poll node status | |
| Device specific configuration and information database | Database of command classes preserving backwards compatibility | |
| Network and client preference storage | Store and retrieve network and client-specific preferences and configurations |
Key Benefits of Z-IP Gateway
Features
IP applications reach Z-Wave nodes via IP addresses
Z/IP Packets from LAN IP applications are terminated and forwarded as Z-Wave commands to Z-Wave Nodes
Z-Wave nodes are identified by IPv6 and IPv4 host addresses
Resource & Service Discovery (mDNS)
Remote Access and Configuration
Z-Wave SmartStart Auto-inclusion
Z-Wave Security 2 support
Features
Z-Wave Mailbox Service – Support for Non-Listening nodes
Installation and Maintenance framework
Firmware Update of Z-Wave module attached to the Z/IP Gateway
Migration to Z/IP Gateway from non-Z/IP Gateways
Back-up/Recover of Z-Wave network and product data
