1.1. Product Description
The Wireless Gateway is a wireless acquisition appliance that helps monitor remote facilities.
The Wireless Gateway receives 418 and 900 MHZ signals from wireless devices and relays
them to facilities monitoring systems as SNMP, Modbus TCP/IP, Modbus RTU, BACnet/IP,
and BACnet MS/TP signals.
The Wireless Gateway’s wireless sensors can receive signals from products providing dry
contact, analog (0-20mA), 0-5VDC, or 0-10VDC signals. Commonly used sensors include,
but are not limited to, temperature/humidity, temperature, door counters, thermistors, motion
sensors, power monitors, and more.
1.2. Rear Panel Indicators
The back of the Wireless Gateway has two status indicators to show when data is being
transmitted and when data is being received through the EIA-485 port. When data is either
being transmitted or received the status lights will blink. If no information is being
communicated, the lights are off.

2.1. Installation
The Wireless Gateway comes with two brackets that, when attached to the device, allow it to
be mounted in a 19-inch rack. Remove the screws from the side of the device, put the brackets
in place, and reapply the screws. Mount the device in a rack. Use the proper anchoring method
to mount the unit securely.
2.2. Wiring
2.2.1 Power Supply and Ground Connections
RLE Technologies recommends powering the Wireless Gateway from a UPS supply so the
device can send alarm notifications during a power outage. Connect an 18AWG ground wire
from the ground terminal to a suitable earth ground. Plug the wall adapter into P1 and a UPS
outlet. The wall adapter has a five foot (1.524m) power cord.
Connect 24VDC to the unit through either the jack input or terminal block.

2 Getting Started
Figure 2.1
24VDC Power Supply Connection
If the EIA-485 port will be used for Modbus RTU communication, RLE Technologies
recommends an 18AWG shielded twisted pair stranded copper wire for the connection, using
no more than 2000 feet (609.6m) of wire at this specification. If longer runs are needed, please
contact RLE Technologies.
The Wireless Gateway is shipped with a 418 MHz, 6-foot cable antenna and a 916 MHz,
6-foot cable antenna. The 418 MHz antenna has longer shafts; the 900 MHz antenna has
shorter shafts. Plug each antenna into its appropriate jack on the front of the Wireless
Gateway.

2.3. Connectivity
2.3.1 RJ45 Ethernet Connection
The Wireless Gateway has an internal 10/100BASE-T Ethernet port that is used for
configuration. The Ethernet port supports Web browser access, email (SMTP), BACnet slave,
Modbus slave, and SNMP. The device can connect directly to a PC with a crossover cable
(provided), or it can connect to a PC through a hub or switch, with CAT5 cables.

2.3.2 EIA-232 COM Connection
The Wireless Gateway can be connected directly to a PC through its EIA-232 port. This is
useful for IP configuration, firmware downloads, and troubleshooting. The EIA-232
connection is only used as a temporary connection. Connect the straight through, 9-pin serial
cable as shown in Figure 2.5.

2 Getting Started
2.4. Communication: Set the IP Address
The Wireless Gateway will not communicate over a user’s network the first time it is
connected. This is because the manufacturer programs the device with a default IP address:
10.0.0.188
, Subnet Mask:
255.255.255.0
. This default address must be changed to an IP
address that corresponds with the user’s network before the Wireless Gateway can
communicate over the network. There are two ways to set the Wireless Gateway’s IP address:
Via the Web browser
Via the EIA-232 interface
2.4.1 Set the IP Address Using a Web Browser
Attention: If you have not set an IP address before, consult your IT Department for support.
Note The default IP address for the Wireless Gateway is 10.0.0.188
The default Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0
The default user name is fds (all lowercase)
There is no default password—leave the password field empty.
1
Contact your IT Department to obtain an available IP address, Subnet Mask, and default
Gateway.
2 Plug a crossover network cable (provided) into the laptop or workstation that will be used to
configure the Wireless Gateway.
3 You’ll need to change the IP address and Subnet Mask of your computer so it can
communicate with the Wireless Gateway in its factory-configured state. Before you change
anything, write down the original IP address and Subnet Mask of your computer - you’ll
need to revert back to these original settings once the Wireless Gateway is configured.
4 Change the IP address and Subnet Mask of the computer from its existing address to one
that will allow it to communicate with the Wireless Gateway, such as
10.0.0.189. It may
be beneficial to set the IP address to one that is one number different from the Wireless
Gateway IP address (
10.0.0.188).
5 Connect the other end of the crossover cable to the Ethernet port on the back of the Wireless
Gateway.
6 Access the Wireless Gateway through a Web browser — type the Wireless Gateway’s IP
address (
10.0.0.188) into the location bar. When prompted, enter the Wireless Gateway
user name, which is
fds. There is no default password, leave it blank.
7 Select the Configuration Menu link, then change the IP address, Subnet Mask, and default
Gateway to the one provided by your IT Department. Press the Submit Changes button.
The Wireless Gateway will save the new IP address, Subnet Mask and default Gateway and
reboot.
8 Change the IP address of the computer back to its original IP address. If the computer was
configured as DHCP (the network domain controller assigns an IP address) return it to this
state. This may require assistance from your IT Department, or you may need to consult the
computer's manual.

9 The computer and the Wireless Gateway are now both configured to communicate on the
network. Both should be accessible via the network. Connect the PC and the Wireless
Gateway to the network. From the PC web browser, type in the new IP address of the
Wireless Gateway. Enter the user name and password as stated above to verify network
access to the device.
2.4.2 Set the Wireless Gateway IP Address using an EIA-
232 Connection
To use the EIA-232 interface:
1 Contact your IT Department to obtain an available IP address, Subnet Mask, and default
Gateway.
2 Use a 9-pin male-female straight through serial cable to connect the EIA-232 port on the
Wireless Gateway to a terminal or PC running terminal emulation software
(HyperTerminal).
3 Set the appropriate communication port to 9600 baud, NO parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit,
(9600/N/8/1), and no software or hardware flow command.
4 Once the terminal emulation software starts, press Enter on the keyboard and the Wireless
Gateway boot prompt should appear, (FDS_WI>). If the boot prompt does not appear,
check the communication settings and make sure the unit is powered on.
5 From the boot prompt type IP then type one space and type the IP address your IT
Department provided for the unit. Press the enter key. For example,
IP 192.168.103.211 The Wireless Gateway will reboot after the IP address is changed.
6 From the boot prompt type NM then type one space and type the Subnet Mask address your
IT Department provided for the unit. Press the enter key. For example,
NM 255.255.255.0 The Wireless Gateway will reboot after the Subnet Mask is changed.
7 From the boot prompt type DG then type one space and type the Default Gateway address
your IT Department provided for the unit. Press the enter key. For example,
DG 192.168.103.1 The Wireless Gateway will reboot after the Default Gateway is
changed.
8 The IP address is now set and the Wireless Gateway can be accessed through a Web
browser using the new IP address. The default user name is
fds and there is no password.
Leave the password field blank.
