Ethernet Network Setup 22 (44)
7 Ethernet Network Setup
Netbiter EasyConnect gateways should only be installed in networks with firewall
protection. Contact your network administrator if in doubt.
Netbiter EasyConnect gateways require outbound (outgoing) access on TCP ports 5222, 443
and 80 to connect to Netbiter Argos. Connection attempts will be made to 3 different servers
with a timeout of 30 seconds for each server. This means that it may take up to 4½ minute to establish a connection (3 ports x 3 servers x 30 seconds).
The following ports may also need to be opened in the firewall:
502 (TCP) Default port for Modbus TCP
8080 (TCP) Alternative web server port
53 (UDP) External DNS
7.1 IP Addressing
Netbiter gateways can use static or dynamic IP addressing (DHCP). When using DHCP, the
TCP/IP settings will be configured automatically. DHCP is the default setting.
The TCP/IP settings in Netbiter EC150 and EC250 can be configured using IPconfig, a Windows-based configuration utility that automatically detects Netbiter gateways on a local network.
If the network uses a proxy to connect to the Internet you also need to set up the proxy configuration in the local configuration web interface. See Local Configuration (EC150/EC250), p. 26.

7.2.1 Installing the IPconfig Utility
1. Download IPConfig from www.netbiter.com/support.
2. Extract the contents of the zip archive in a folder on your computer and double-click the
executable file to run it.
7.2.2 Scanning for Connected Devices
Make sure that the Netbiter gateways to be installed are connected on the same Ethernet subnet as the computer running IPconfig. Use standard Ethernet cables.
When the IPconfig utility is started it will scan the Ethernet network for Netbiter gateways. All detected units will be presented in a list in the main window. To refresh the list, click on Scan.

Notes
• Do not enable DHCP if there is no DHCP server available on the network.
• You can add a name for the Netbiter gateway in the Hostname field. Only the characters a-z, A-Z, 0–9 and _ (underscore) are allowed.
• The default password for authentication of the new settings in Netbiter EC150, EC250,
and WS series gateways is admin.
To change the password: check the Change password box, enter the current password in Password, enter the new password in New password, then click on Set.
For security reasons, the password “admin” should always be changed.
The password in IPconfig is not related to the password for the local configuration pages.
Click Set to save the new settings and restart the Netbiter gateway. Please note it that may take
some time before the gateway is online again after a reboot.

8.1 Adding the Gateway to Netbiter Argos
Before a Netbiter EasyConnect gateway can be used it must be registered and activated from a
user account in Netbiter Argos.
For instructions on how to add a Netbiter gateway to Netbiter Argos, please refer to the Netbiter
Argos Administration Manual which can be downloaded from the Netbiter support website www.
netbiter.com/support.

9 Local Configuration (EC150/EC250)
Local configuration is normally not required and should only be carried out when
necessary. Please read the instructions below carefully.
Netbiter EC150 and EC250 have a built-in web interface that can be used for initial configuration and troubleshooting.
Netbiter Argos is the preferred way of configuring the gateway. The built-in web interface is primarily intended for informational purposes and troubleshooting. The only configuration changes
that should be made using the local web interface are:
• Proxy settings (if required)
• Modem/Ethernet connection mode (EC250 only)
• PIN code settings – if using a PIN code for the SIM card (EC250 only)
• Firmware updates
Other configuration changes that are made locally will not be synchronized with Netbiter Argos.
9.1 Connecting to the Web Server
The computer used to access the local configuration must be on the same Ethernet network
subnet as the gateway. The computer can also be connected directly to the gateway using a
crossover Ethernet cable. This may require the IP address for the Ethernet interface on the PC
to be changed.
Use IPconfig to detect the IP address of the gateway, then right-click on the entry for the gateway and select Open Web Interface. This will open its local web server in your default browser.
See also IPconfig, p. 23.
If the IP address is known you can also type it directly into the address field of a web browser.
