1 Overview
The Inovonics EN6080 area control gateway bridges the proprietary
Inovonics commercial mesh network to a standard TCP-IP over Ethernet
LAN. Featuring a PSIA-compliant set of RESTful web services, the EN6080
area control gateway is designed to ensure interoperability with other IPenabled devices across the security industry.
1.1 Installing an Inovonics Security System
An EchoStream survey kit should be used to establish an EchoStream
system. The EchoStream survey kit measures the signal strength of highpower repeater and sensor messages to help optimize your EchoStream
system.

Operation LEDs
Power LED: Green indicates the presence of line power or power over
Ethernet.
Radio LED: Green indicates that the device is decoding messages from the
wireless network.
LAN LED: Green indicates Ethernet link.
1.4 EN6080 Area Control Gateway Internal Components
Figure 1 Sample EchoStream system
The EchoStream survey kit provides you with two signal strength
measurements: signal level and signal margin.
Signal level
The signal level is the measurement of the overall decibel level of the
message.
Signal margin
The signal margin is the measurement of the decibel level of the message,
minus the decibel level of any interfering signals. Inovonics equipment
should be placed within a facility such that all end-devices produce signal
margin readings of at least 4 decibels.
Both the signal level and signal margin are measured in decibels. Because
signal strength and signal margin are measured on a logarithmic scale, the
difference between a decibel level of 3 (Weak) and a decibel level of 4
(Good) is a much larger difference than it would be on a linear scale.
Note: For more information about the EchoStream survey kit, see the EN/
EE7016SK EchoStream® Survey Kit Installation and Operation Manual.

Diagnostic LEDs
Static LED: Yellow indicates the EN6080 is using a static IP address; green
indicates the EN6080 is using a dynamic IP address obtained from the
network; no illumination indicates the EN6080 has been configured to use
a dynamic IP address but has not obtained one from the network, or there
is no Ethernet connection.
Alarm LED: Red indicates an alarm in the wireless network.
Fault LED: Yellow indicates a tamper, low battery, or repeater line power
loss fault in the wireless network.
1.5 What’s In The Carton
• One 14VAC/120AC transformer
• One CR1220 backup battery
• Five drywall anchors
• Five mounting screws
• One frequency band selection jumper
2 Installation and Startup
2.1 Installation Notes
• These products are designed to be maintained by professional
security technicians
• Products are tested for indoor use
• All products should be manually tested weekly
2.2 Connect Power Cabling And Install Backup Battery
Note: The EN6080 area control gateway is Power over Ethernet capable
on any network supporting the IEEE 802.3af-2003 PoE or IEEE 802.3at2009 PoE+ standard. Power over Ethernet will only function when line
power is not present.
To use line power, you will need to connect a power source to the EN6080
area control gateway:
1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the housing cover release screw
(Figure 3).
2. Lift the cover off the hinges on the top of the housing.
3. Connect power cabling to the Vs and GND connections (Figure 3).
4. Ensuring the polarity corresponds, connect DC power cabling to the +
and - connections; AC power does not require specific polarity and can
use either connection (Figure 3).
• Use 14-22 gauge wire for all cabling and ensure torque on the screw
terminals does not exceed seven inch-pounds.
5. Route the power cabling through the cabling ports on the bottom of the
housing (Figure 3).
6. Connect the power cabling to your power source.
• The power source must be 12-24 VAC or VDC. The power supply
must be unswitched, uninterrupted, and regulated.
7. Insert the backup battery in the battery holder (Figure 3).
2.3 Select the Frequency Band
EchoStream products are able to use a range of radio frequencies, and
must be configured for your geographic area. This product ships with a
default frequency range of 902-928 MHz for use in North America. If you
are using the product in North America, skip to 2.4, “Connect Ethernet
Cabling”; f you are using the product in Australia or New Zealand, you will
need to configure the transmitter.
8. Place a selection jumper on the frequency band selection pins
appropriate to your geographic area (Figure 3).
• Place the jumper on the top two pins, marked NZ, to set the frequency
range to 921-928 MHz for New Zealand
• Place the jumper on the bottom two pins, marked AUS, to set the
frequency range to 915-928 MHz for Australia.
9. Press the reset button to complete configuration (Figure 3).
2.4 Connect Ethernet Cabling
The EN6080 area control gateway connects to network components in a
wired local area network (LAN) using the RJ45 Ethernet jack. T o connect to
a LAN:
10. Connect one end of a RJ45 patch cable to the RJ45 Ethernet jack on
the EN6080 area control gateway (Figure 3).
11. Route the Ethernet patch cable through the cabling ports on the bottom
of the housing (Figure 3).
12. Connect the other end of the RJ45 patch cable to an RJ45 Ethernet
jack connected to your LAN.
13. To relieve stress on the Ethernet and power cabling, secure it to the
cabling tie loop with a tie (Figure 3).
2.5 Mount the EN6080 Area Control Gateway
Caution: Mount the EN6080 area control gateway in a location removed
from metal. Metal objects (duct work, wire mesh screens, boxes) will
reduce RF range.
Caution: Per FCC RF exposure requirements, the EN6080 should be
mounted in a location where it will be no more than 100cm from nearby
persons.
The EN6080 area control gateway includes a wall tamper. If the EN6080
area control gateway is removed from the wall, the cutout on the back of
the housing will detach, activating a tamper alarm. The wall tamper will only
work if the EN6080 area control gateway is properly installed. To ensure
the EN6080 is properly installed, carefully follow the mounting instructions:
14. If mounting the EN6080 area control gateway to drywall, install the
drywall anchors included in the installation packet.
Caution: If the EN6080 area control gateway is mounted to drywall, the
drywall anchors must be used. Without the drywall anchors, the back
tamper will not activate if the device is removed from the wall.
15. Use the provided screws to mount the EN6080 area control gateway,
making sure the EN6080 area control gateway is flush with the wall
(Figure 3).
16. Attach the included screw to the wall through the wall tamper mounting
hole (Figure 3).
Caution: Tighten the wall tamper screw to a snug fit without over-tightening
it. Overtightening the wall tamper screw can break the wall tamper cutout,
disabling the wall tamper.
17. Check that the housing tamper spring is in place and makes contact
with the top of the housing (Figure 3).
18. Close the housing.
2.6 Connect to the Ethernet
19. Open a web browser on a computer connected to the same network to
which the EN6080 area control gateway is connected.
20. Direct the browser to the default IP address: 192.168.60.80
21. Navigate to http://www.inovonics.com/area-control-gateway.aspx to
open the EN6080 Area Control Gateway User Manual which will guide
you through setup and configuration.
