EN6080 Area Control Gateway Overview
1.1 Introduction
The Inovonics EN6080 area control gateway bridges the Inovonics proprietary
commercial mesh network to a standard TCP/IP over Ethernet LAN, allowing
the entire range of Inovonics physical security products to be added to any IPbased or PSIA revision 0.8 compliant system using RESTful web services.
Inovonics security products include motion detectors, glassbreak sensors,
panic buttons and door/window sensors. All of these operate on the selfmonitored and fully-supervised Inovonics EchoStream commercial mesh
network. Designed to move small amounts of data over a moderate range in
commercial environments, the commercial mesh network uses a frequencyhopping, spread-spectrum technology that sends redundant messages across
multiple channels to avoid interference obstacles.
Due to its low latency and high reliability, the EchoStream commercial mesh
network is an ideal solution for security applications. The network is secure
and dedicated, ensuring personal security messages are delivered without
interference from less critical applications.
The EN6080 area control gateway includes a built-in web page server for
complete system setup and configuration, as well as enhanced, on-demand
system supervision for detailed event audits.
This manual covers the EN6080 area control gateway’s web page server. For
installation information, see the EN6080 Area Control Gateway Installation
Instructions; for information about integrating the EN6080 area control
gateway into an-IP based system using RESTful web services, see the
EN6080 Area Control Gateway Integration Guide.

EN6080 Area Control Gateway Overview
1.2 Recommended System Requirements
The computer used to access the EN6080 area control gateway should meet
the following requirements:
• Windows® 7 operating system.
Note: Performance with Windows 8, 8.1 and 10 has not been tested.
• Mozilla® Firefox® version 35 or later; Internet Explorer® version 11 or
later.
• Wired Ethernet interface.
• Minimum MTU 1280 bytes.
1.3 EN6080 Area Control Gateway Initial Setup and Connection
1.3.1 Configure Network Settings (for Windows 7)
The EN6080 area control gateway comes from the factory configured with a
static IP address of 192.168.60.80. To initially communicate with the EN6080
area control gateway, you will need to connect to a computer's Ethernet port.
This might mean disconnecting from your LAN.
To connect to the EN6080 area control gateway, you will first need to configure
the network settings on your computer.
Note: This procedure will change your network settings. Make a note of your current
network configuration, so you can return to it when finished interfacing with the
EN6080 area control gateway.
Note: Inovonics recommends obtaining a USB-to-Ethernet adapter specifically for the
EN6080 area control gateway to avoid having to modify your standard network
configuration.
7.28.17 06443H © 2017, Inovonics - www.inovonics.com 7
EN6080 Area Control Gateway Overview
1. From the control panel, click “Network and Internet.”
2. Click “Network and Sharing Center.”
3. Click “Change adapter settings.”
4. Right click on the local area connection used to connect to the network,
and select “Properties.”
5. Double click “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4).”
6. Select the “Use the following IP address” radio button.
7. Set the IP address to 192.168.60.1.
8. Set the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0.
9. Click “OK.”
1.3.2 Disable Delayed ACK Mode on the Windows® 7 Operating System
The EN6080 area control gateway currently does not respond to the delayed
ACK mode of operation that some Windows 7 machines use. Microsoft has
provided a fix for this as outlined below.
To disable delayed ACK mode in Windows 7 Service Pack 1 or above:
7.28.17 06443H © 2017, Inovonics - www.inovonics.com 8
1. Open up the registry.
EN6080 Area Control Gateway Overview
Figure 1-1 Open the registry
2. Un-collapse the following entry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Tcpip\P
arameters\Interfaces]
3. You will probably find several subfolders. Click through each folder until
you find the one with the most entries in the right pane. The correct
interface will have the IP address of the Windows PC fulfilled in section
1.3.2. For example: DGCPDefaultGateway, DHCPDomain,
DHCPIPAddress, Lease, NameServer, T1, etc.

Figure 1-2 Find the subfolder with the most entries
4. For each of those entries in the Interfaces folder, create two DWORD
registry keys called TCPAckFrequency and TCPNoDelay.
Figure 1-3 Create DWORD registry keys
Here’s an example what it should look like:
Figure 1-4 Edited entry example
5. Double-click on each new registry key and change the value from 0 to 1.
(Base hexadecimal.)
6. Exit the registry editor.
7. Reboot your PC.
1.3.3 Browse to the EN6080 Area Control Gateway Web Server Screens
8. Open the Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer web browser and enter
“http://192.168.60.80” in the address field.
9. When prompted, enter the admin username and password.
10. Click the “OK” button.
Note: For more information about placing the EN6080 area control gateway on your
local network see 3.2, “IP Administration” on page 18.

2.1.1 System Connection Summary
The system connection summary fields on the home screen allow the system
to be viewed at a glance.
• The “Devices Registered” field displays the total number of devices
registered to the EN6080 area control gateway.
• The “Devices In Alarm” field displays the number of registered devices
that are in alarm.
• The “Devices Inactive” field displays the number of registered devices
that are inactive. A device is considered inactive if the EN6080 area
control gateway has not received a check-in message from the device
during the supervision window, indicating the radio link has been broken.
This event is noted in the log as “Device Missing.”
2.1.2 Device Information
The device information table (located below the system connection summary)
displays an overview of each registered device. All columns are sortable;
simply click on any column header to sort in ascending or descending order.
The search field can be used to locate specific devices; it covers data in all
fields, and accepts letters and numbers, but no wildcard characters.
Home
The following information is included:
• The “TX ID” field displays the factory coded unique identification number
of the transmitter. The TX ID is primarily used for registration.
• The “Device Status” field displays whether the device is active or inactive.
A device is considered active if a check in message has been received
during the programmed supervision period, indicating the radio link is
sound. When a device moves from the inactive to the active state, it is
noted in the log as “Device Missing Clr.”
• The “Alarm State” field displays whether or not the device is in a state of
alarm.
• The “Type” field displays the Inovonics model number and device type.
• The “Description” field displays the user defined description of the device.
Typically, this is a brief indication of where the end device is used, or, in
the case of a mobile device, the name of the person to whom it is
assigned.
• The “Partition” field displays the user defined area to which devices are
assigned as a single entity. For instance, “front door,” or “lobby.” Placing
