1 INTRODUCTION

The default configuration of an MGW/920 Smart Metering Gateway contains one
10/100 Mbps Ethernet LAN interface and one M-Bus master interface for up to ten external
M-Bus meters.

For using the MGW/920 you need an Ethernet link to your PC or to an Internet router. This
link needs a standard Ethernet patch or cross-over cable.

1.1 Safety Guidelines

Please read the following safety guidelines carefully! In case of property or personal
damage by not paying attention to this document and/or by incorrect handling, we do
not assume liability. In such cases any warranty claim expires.

1.3 Application Environment

Figure 1 shows the typical application environment for the MGW/920 Smart Metering
Gateway. One side is connected over the M-Bus (metering Bus) to gas, electricity, water or
other types of consumption meters. The other side offers an IP-based Internet link via wired
xDSL (Ethernet) or wireless GPRS (GSM/GPRS modem).

The application environment allows the transfer of energy consumption data over the Inter­net as an IP-based network to IT-hosted monitoring, billing or management applications in
real time.
