Page 6: Introduction
Manager. An individual Gateway can also be managed locally by its own internal IRIS Light management system instead of the centralized IRIS server. The SensusRF Gateway has an inbuilt webserver that can display and configure information about the Gateway itself, perform the configurations of GPRS, Ethernet and IRIS Lite Server, verify Task Status, upgrade firmware and verify radio information that is being collected. - Page 7 SensusRF gateway user manual | 17/04/2015...
