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.
ATTENTION: Observe precautions for handling – electrostatic sensitive device!
• Discharge yourself before you work with the device, e.g. by touching a heater of
metal, to avoid damages.
• Stay grounded while working with the device to avoid damage through electrostatic
discharge.

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.

3 GETTING STARTED
3.1 Ethernet Link between MGW/920 and PC
Setup the Ethernet link between the Ethernet connector of the MGW/920 and your PC.
Use an Ethernet cross-over cable or a router-based infrastructure for the Ethernet connection.
Fig. 3: Ethernet link between MGW/920 and PC
Please note: The MGW/920 comes with the default IP address 192.168.0.126.
Please make sure that your PC can work with the IP address range 192.168.0.x.

3.2 Connecting Power Supply and Power-up the MGW/920
Connect the 12 VDC power supply with the 5.5 mm x 2.5 mm barrel plug to the
MGW/920.
Fig. 5: Power supply for the MGW/920
CAUTION: Providing the MGW/920 with a voltage higher than the regular 12 VDC
±10 % could resolve in damaged board components!
Please pay attention to the polarity of the power connector: the + pole is in the center!

3.3 Checking IP Address of PC
Make sure that your PC is using the right IP address for the Ethernet-based TCP/IP communication with the MGW/920. Use 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.0.254 for your PC and
192.168.0.126 for the MGW/920.
Fig. 7: Windows-PC IP address check with ipconfig
Talk to your network administrator if you have problems with the IP address understanding.

3.4 Checking Ethernet-based TCP/IP Communication
Check the Ethernet-based TCP/IP communication between the MGW/920 and the PC
with a simple ping command.
Fig. 8: Windows-PC TCP/IP communication check with ping
First check the cable connections and then the IP addresses if your ping does not work.
Then check the TCP/IP setup of your PC.

3.5 Changing Ex Factory IP Address (IPbyNet)
The ex factory value for the default IP address is 192.168.0.126. The network mask
for this address is 255.255.255.0. You can change the IP address and the network
mask over an Ethernet link with the MGW/920 IPbyNET feature.
Fig. 9: Environment for IP address change with IPbyNet
IPbyNET is a MGW/920 firmware component, which checks directly after each boot
process the presence of ICMP echo request packets with the MAC address of the
MGW/920 Ethernet interface. If an ICMP packet is available, the IPbyNET firmware extracts the destination IP address from the ICMP echo request packet and sets the
MGW/920 Ethernet interface with this IP address.
Fig. 10: Changing the IP address with IPbyNet
Please see the label with the MAC address on the front of your MGW/920 to find the
MAC address for your MGW/920. Then run a Windows command prompt and enter the
following two command lines:
arp –s 192.168.0.10 02-80-AD-20-D3-7F
ping –t –w 300 192.168.0.10
MGW/920 Smart Metering Gateway- First Steps

Manua l R e vision 1. 1
The first command line creates an ARP table entry for the IP address 192.168.0.10
and the MAC address 02-80-AD-20-D3-7F. The second command line sends an
ICMP echo request to the device with the MAC address 02-80-AD-20-D3-7F. This
request contains the new IP address 192.168.0.10.
Change the IP address and the MAC address of the two command lines. Use the IP address of your needs and the given MAC address from your MGW/920.
Then reboot the MGW/920. After a few seconds the MGW/920 responds to the ping with
the new IP address.
