I. Introduction
Everything you need for full
NAFEM protocol compliance
Translates and organizes your
legacy equipment's data into the NAFEM Data Protocol framework
Supports all of the MIBs defined
by the NAFEM Data Protocol Group
Built-In Web Server
Optional Modem for installations
without a network infrastructure
Connect up to 253 equipment with
one MicroGate™
Firmware Upgradeable in the field
as protocol standards change
E-Control Systems MicroGate™ is one of the most cost-effective and versatile gateways for adding the NAFEM (North America Association of Food Equipment Manufactures) Data Protocol and Ethernet connectivity into any equipment. Whether you're an equipment manufacturer, systems integrator, or IT manager, the cost, functionality, and flexibility of the MicroGate™ makes it the ideal product for any Online Kitchen™ application.
The MicroGate™ incorporates all essential networking functions including a full-featured TCP/IP stack, 10Base-T Ethernet connection, real-time operating system, embedded Web Server, optional modem, and battery-backed memory.
Feature-Rich Cost-Effective Solution
The MicroGate™ incorporates the latest in Flash and SDRAM technology to give the best feature/price/performance ratio on the market. Using the latest in memory technologies allows up to 253 pieces of equipment to be connected to one MicroGate, further reducing the cost of the overall system. Complex menu recipe changes, firmware updates, or set point changes can be done without disrupting any of the other services running on the MicroGate™.
Flexibility
As the demand for updates and new features arise, the MicroGate™ can be updated from any location on the Ethernet network. This eliminates the need to call for service or replace the hardware itself. All updates and features are added using a standard Web Browser, like Microsoft® Internet Explorer, or through bulk transfer facilities specified in the NAFEM data protocol.

IV. Installation and Configuration

System Requirements

You must meet the following requirements to install and configure the MicroGate™:
Static IP address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address to assign the
MicroGate™
A computer equipped with a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 10/100 Mbps Fast
Ethernet Card, or USB-to-Ethernet converter. Computer must have TCP/IP protocols installed and have a fixed (static) or dynamic IP Address assigned to it.
MicroGate Discovery Utility CD (might be bundled with Raptor Web
Software™ CD)
Network Cable connecting MicroGate™ directly to the computer (use a
Crossover type cable, see Table 11), or network cable connecting to the same hub/switch that the computer is connected to (use Straight-Through type cable, see Table 10).
+5VDC Power Supply with mating connector
Serial cable connecting your device(s) to one of the serial ports (see Table 5,
Table 6, and Table 7)

Connect the System

The MicroGate™ can be placed at any convenient location in the kitchen or office. No special cooling requirements are needed, but you should keep the MicroGate™ away from any heating device, dusty or wet environments. If the MicroGate™ needs to operate in a dusty or wet environment, it should be placed in a NEMA box. Make sure to disconnect the power, remove the power cord from the outlet, and keep your hands dry when handling the MicroGate™.
Basic Installation Procedure
1. Connect an Ethernet Cable from the MicroGate™ to one of the following: a. Ethernet Port on computer using a Crossover type cable (see Table 11) b. Ethernet Port on hub, switch, or router using a Straight-Through type
cable (see Table 10)
2. Connect a serial cable from your device(s) to one of the serial ports on the
MicroGate (see Table 5, Table 6, and Table 7 for pin assignments)
3. Connect the power cable to the MicroGate (see Table 3 or Table 4)
4. Plug the other side of the power cable to a +5VDC source, or to a wall outlet
if you are using a cable with power supply
5. Verify that DS1(Link) and DS4(Power) LEDs are on (see Table 2)
6. After approximately 30 seconds, verify that DS3 (Heartbeat) LED is flashing
MicroGate™ User Manual 12
Basic Network Configuration Procedure
1. Start the Discovery Utility by selecting Start > Programs > Raptor Web
Software > ECSDiscovery – This utility might reside in a different location
depending on how it was installed.
Figure 4
2. Click on Start Discovery (see Figure 4, note #1) to start looking for E-Control
Systems’ units on your network. Note: This could take up to 30 seconds to complete
Figure 5
3. A list of all of the ECS units on the network is listed sorted by their MAC
Address (see Figure 5, note #4). Find the MAC address of the MicroGate™ that you want to configure (the MAC address is shown on a white label on the underside of the MicroGate™). Highlight the row in the table that corresponds to the correct MAC Address/Unit you want to re-configure.
MicroGate™ User Manual 13
Figure 6
4. Once the row corresponding to the unit to be configured is highlighted, click
on Edit Unit (see Figure 6, note #1) to bring up the Unit’s Properties
Figure 7
MicroGate™ User Manual 14
5. Change the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address as needed and
then click on Update (see Figure 7, note #1) to send configuration to the unit. To quit without updating the unit, click on the X (see Figure 7, note #2)
6. Writing the configuration and restarting the unit can take as long as 2 minutes.
In that time you will see DS3 stop flashing. When it starts flashing again you are done configuring the MicroGate™. Note: You can also verify that the MicroGate’s configuration changed by clicking on Start Discovery (see Figure 4, note #1), and verifying that the corresponding value in the IP address column of the MicroGate that was configured changed to the new value.
Congratulations! You have successfully configured the MicroGate™. For advanced configuration information, please see the Raptor Web Software™ Users Manual.
