2.3 Controlling the Gateway from the Network

2.3.1 Control Word

It is possible to control certain aspects of the gateway from the network by setting the corresponding
bits in the Control Word.
This functionality is disabled by default, but can be enabled separately for each network interface
through the Gateway Config Interface. Note that if enabled, certain actions may be required in order for
the gateway to start exchanging data.

• Master Mode
These bits specify the current operation mode of the on-board master from the other network
(these bits are not available on the master/scanner side).
The exact definition of these bits depend on the network in question, however common for all
networks is that if the Control Word has been enabled, it is required to specify a value for these
bits in order for the gateway to start exchanging data.
