and BACnet MS/TP signals.

C HAPTER

CHAPTER 0SYSTEM OVERVIEW

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.

CHAPTER 0GETTING STARTED

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.

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.

2.4. 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

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)

, Subnet Mask:

255.255.255.0

. This default address must be changed to an IP

2 Getting Started

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

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 EIA­232 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.

2.5. Sensor Discovery

The Wireless Gateway is equipped with a sensor discovery feature. The device will discover
available wireless sensor inputs and enter them into the Sensor Summary page. To configure
sensors to use with the Wireless Gateway, follow these steps:

1 In the Wireless Gateway’s user interface, go to the Configuration>FDS-Wi page. If it is not

already enabled, click the Enabled radio button for Sensor Discovery.

7 Once the sensors have been discovered, turn off the Sensor Discovery option in the

Configuration>FDS-Wi page of the Wireless Gateway’s user interface. If you do not turn
off the sensor discovery feature, the Wireless Gateway will continue to attempt to find new
sensors. This could cause a device malfunction, or contaminate your list of active sensors
with additional sensors that do not actually exist.

8 Note each sensor’s index number and location. Reference Chapter 3, “Web Interface –

Standard Version” on page 23 to learn how to enter the location and any other necessary
identifying information in each sensor’s configuration information.

9 Once you have configured the Wireless Gateway, save a copy of the system configuration.

2.6. Sensor Mounting Tips

The electronics in a wireless sensor are water-resistant, but not waterproof. Wireless sensors
need to be mounted in a safe location, where the chance of them becoming submerged in a
liquid are minimal. Sensors can be mounted with double-faced tape or adhesive velcro. To
mount a sensor on a metallic surface, purchase adhesive-backed magnetic tape and adhere it to
the back of the sensor. Use magnetic tape that is 0.5 inch (1.27cm) wide. The magnetic tape
will not disturb the electronics, and when placed correctly, the tape allows the sensor’s label to
remain visible. The serial number on this label is unique to each sensor, and you will need to
refer to this number throughout the life span of the sensor.

Magnetic Strips Used to Mount a Sensor

To mount sensors using magnetic tape:

1 For each sensor, cut two 1.5-inch (3.81cm) strips of tape.
