Hubbell Ethernet Gateway V4 User’s Manual Ethernet Gateway Overview The Ethernet Gateway is a key component of the Hubbell system architecture. It provides an interface between the wireless monitoring devices and the monitoring application. The Gateway automatically detects any new monitoring devices, seamlessly adding them to the network.
Network Configuration Installing the Ethernet Gateway Each location in which Smart Power Cables are deployed must have one or more Hubbell Ethernet Gateways to gather data from the Smart Power Cables. Refer to Hubbell’s Ethernet Gateway User’s Manual or Quick Start Guide for more information.

Hubbell Ethernet Gateway V4 User’s Manual Data Sources Data Sources indicate from where the Gateway is acquiring its data. This can originate from wireless nodes connected to the Gateway or from peered Gateways which are connected to the Gateway via the Ethernet network.
Page 17
Hubbell Ethernet Gateway V4 User’s Manual Peer Gateways Gateways can be peered (connected) with other Gateways over the network. This allows for retrieving data from multiple Gateways by polling a single Gateway. The peered Gateways do not have to be in similar locations as long as they are permitted to communicate with each other over the network.

Peering Gateways and Using a Master Gateway Hubbell Gateways can be deployed in a master / peer relationship. In this approach, the master gateway gathers data from all of its peers. This makes it easier for monitoring applications to access data as the monitoring application only needs to communicate with the master gateway.
