  • Page 2: General Information

    This handbook should be seen as an extension of the Quick Start guide "Quick Start" which Digital Concepts already attaches to your product. It describes in detail, both the properties of the gateway, the menu structure, as well as the processes that are necessary for start-up and subsequent operation.
  • Page 3: The Web Interface

    HE WEBINTERFACE The web interface is primarily used to: •commission and configure the gateway •Register and configure the EnOcean components •Monitor the transmitted states (telegrams) •Analyze errors in the system The menu structure For easy navigation, the complete menu structure of the gateway is shown here. The manual is based on this order and explains the individual areas .
  • Page 4 If a physical connection is established, you should see the logion page of the gateway. You have to enter a password. The default password is “admin”. Please change it afterwards. Menu item “Admin“ All administrative settings and values which are fundamentally important for the gateway can be configured here. System Info - General Info System After a successful login the system information page is shown.
  • Page 5 As the name implies, you can view basic information here regarding the current state of your gateway. Version: actual software release of the gateway • Do you have the latest firmware? – see section: Firmware State & Date: actual time & clock settings •...
  • Page 6 Port Settings: Current port setting for the two API versions with password • Possibilities for adjusting can be found under the menu item „API Port Settings“ • Notes on the API can be found in the "API Port Settings" menu or in the corresponding API descriptions in the download section of the Gateway website.
  • Page 7 EnOcean Chip Each gateway includes an EnOcean communication chip with an individual chip ID. This chip ID is similar to a serial number and unchangeable. API Settings – Port configuration of Simple API & JSON API This menu allows the ports and passwords for both APIs to be set individually. There are several ways you can check the output of the gateway of each API:...
  • Page 8 Simple String API Using the freewaretool “PuTTY” and the configuration of the Gateway API, it is easy to connect to the Simple API and look at the output. Start the software, define the IP as required and choose „telnet“ as connection type. After setting the port to the corresponding Simple API port (default 9090), you can start the connection.
  • Page 9 Menu Item "Import/Export" – Backup and restore of configurations • Export of the Gateway configuration The complete configuration and settings of the gateway can be saved in a configuration file "dcgw.conf". Press the "Export" button and select the destination folder according to your browser. The following information is saved: -Network settings -EnOcean Settings (API settings)
  • Page 10 Menu Item System – How to update the firmware The Digital Concepts EnOcean Gateway will be improved over time with new profiles and new functionalities. These improvements (new firmware) will be available on the homepage www.enocean-gateway.de in the support section and will have to be uploaded in the firmware menu of the gateway.
  • Page 11 Menu Item "Devices" – Overview of registered EnOcean devices Upon selecting the Devices menu, a table of all registered devices is displayed. The following managing options are available: EDIT – Editing properties of a learned-in device – edit device name and description, switch between API versions and select which telegrams are to be accepted and translated by the gateway.
  • Page 12 DELETE – Remove device from database – Deletes a device from the gateway’s database. Use if device is no longer used or if fresh learn-procedure is needed. Indicates time of the last valid telegram reception from this device. Unique identification number assigned to device – 8 character hexadecimal address (range: 00000000 –...
  • Page 13 Description of device and usage details Example: Friendly ID - Eltako XYZ Name - Light switch bedroom Last received and recognized device state. e.g. Contact open / Contact closed, measure of temperature and humidity. Use the arrow button to sort data in ascending or descending order for selected values...
  • Page 14 Menu Item "New Device" – Registering new EnOcean devices Learning-in of new devices can vary in complexity depending on manufacturer and device type. For example, to learn-in a rocker button, a normal button press is enough to complete the learn-in procedure. For other devices, learn-in mode can be triggered by a magnet, pressing the special button or some other way of learning-in, as described by device’s manual.
  • Page 15 Gateway now recognizes and identifies new device by its unique Device Id and EnOcean Profile range (F6-??-??). Explanation and further information about EnOcean profiles can be found at https://www.enocean- alliance.org/de/enocean_standard/. It is important to note that new a device is recognized and displayed, however it is still not added into the gateway’s database.
  • Page 16 Under the tab “General”, device specific parameters and fields must be filled-in before a device can be saved to the gateway’s SQL database. Tabs “Communication” and “Test” will be explained later in the manual, as they are not critical for the completion of a learn-in procedure.
  • Page 17 -Name of physical device: Device name In our example, “Light switch Living room” Enter the location of the device -Location: Enter the manufacturer’s name, if known -Manfacturer: -Learn-in Procedure: Shows the learn-in method (device specific, automatically recognized) oreceivedRps – Device has been detected and recognized automatically omanuallyConfigured –...
  • Page 18 predefined EEP values, e.g. only humidity sensor in device that uses humidity & temperature profile. In this case, the transmission of the temperature value can be disabled. Default Setting: On •On Duplicate The gateway will transmit received values to a TCP/IP client, even if device values are unchanged in comparison to the last reported value.
  • Page 19 The device’s details and parameters must be entered here. In contrast to the automatic learn-in procedure, all device data, including the Device ID, must be manually specified. After entering the correct device profile and all required data, press “Apply” in order to save the device into the gateway‘s database.
  • Page 20 Menu Item "Telegrams" – Overview of telegram traffic This page contains an overview of all transmitted and received messages between the gateway and the devices currently learned-in (devices in database). User can switch data view between the original code (raw) and analyzed/processed representation of same code (parsed).
  • Page 21 If you enter your credentials here, the gateway will connect to the IBM Cloud and send/receive all data from and to your account. Logout Ends current management session. Legend ATTENTION!
