PC. Figure 1 – First Time Connection To create a LAN between a PC and the iO Gateway. The user needs to change the ethernet port adapter proprieties. This can be done by on a Windows machine by: 1.
Figure 3 – IP Address in Web Browser Please note that iO Gateway is using a web server version that has been released in 2019 that doesn’t support legacy web browsers. Below is a table that shows which web browsers are supported by iO Gateway.
1.2 FIRST TIME LOGIN Once the default IP address is entered in the address bar and the LAN configuration has been properly done the user will access iO Gateway Login Page. Figure 4 – First Time Login The factory credentials are the following: Table 3–...
1.3.1.1 Configuring WAN iO Device and Network The first step consists of configuring the WAN connection between the iO device and the user’s network. The user will, therefore, be able to access the iO device web interfaces remotely. The user should get the WAN IP from their IT management team. The WAN will be configured on the back ethernet port which the reader is currently not using.
Configuring LAN iO device and equipment To connect the iO Gateway to other devices, a new LAN needs to be configured. The iO device is going to use this LAN to monitors the desired pieces of equipment. If the iO device is only intended to monitor a single piece of equipment, the user can create a simple LAN between the iO and the single equipment.
7. Click on Mode to change from DHCP to Static. 8. Enter IPv4 Address, IPv4 Subnet Mask, and iPv4 Gateway. Make sure that every piece of equipment that you wish to connect to the iO device will be configured to the same IP network.
USER MANUAL 2. SETTINGS iO Gateway Settings module can be accessed by clicking on the settings module. Figure 8 – Settings 2.1 GENERAL PARAMETERS 2.1.1 SITE INFORMATION To configure the site information: 1. Click on General Parameter – Site Information 2.
Data and Time can be configured in General Parameters – Data and Time. Date and Time section is used to set the time and date of the iO Gateway. Date and Time will be used for the time-stamping of data therefore, careful considerations need to be taken when configuring the Date and Time.
User and access levels can be view and configured in the Security section. Multitel recommends changing the factory password of the 3 default users to secure access to the iO device. The new password should be at least 8 characters long and include letters (both upper and lower case), digits, and symbols.
The supervisor user who reset a password to another user must manually send his new credentials by email. To enable/disable a user: Disabled a user takes off his access to the iO Gateway interface. 1. Click on the switch in the state column Blue switch means the user enables –...
One of the two web protocols should be disabled. 2.4.2 SNMP AGENT This section is used to configure the SNMP Agent of the iO device. The SNMP Agent can be used by FIRM Suite/Enterprise Software to gather data from the iO device. To configure the SNMP Agent 1.
2.4.4 MODBUS SLAVE The Modbus section is used to configure the Modbus RTU Slave ID. This Slave ID is going to be used by the FUSION/RTU to monitor the iO Gateway. Configuring the Modbus Slave ID: 1. Click on Settings 2.
2.6.1 CONFIGURATION FILE This section is used to export and to import configuration files for the iO device. iO supports both .CSV and .TXT file. Particular attention needs to be paid when using this feature. A configuration file can change critical config such as ethernet connection properties which can impact the remote access of the device.
Label associated with a binary status cannot be deleted. 2.9 REBOOT Reboot button is used to manually reboot the iO device. After confirmation, your device will reboot instantly and may show the progress screen of the rebooting. The process may take a few minutes.
USER MANUAL 3. DATA SOURCE The data source is the one main module of the iO device and can be accessed by clicking on the Data Source logo on the left side of the iO interfaces Comprehension of the different ways that the iO device can monitor different types of equipment is primordial and particular attention needs to be paid to this module.

Offset Addition iO Modbus Register To use the iO device as a gateway for RTU or Network Management Software enter an iO Modbus Register: 0 to 65 565 Polling Rate Indicates how often the data point is going to be pull.
No iO Modbus Register mapping is required when using the transparent mode. 1. Go into RTU web interfaces 2. The RTU needs to use Modbus RTU – Master to get data points from the iO Gateway. 3. Create a module or a device to bind the iO Gateway and the RTU.
Register Type Option: ‘’Holding Register’’, ‘’Input Register’’ iO Modbus Register To use the iO device as a gateway for RTU or Network Management Software enter an iO Modbus Register: 0 to 65 565 Polling Rate Indicates how often the data point is going to be pull.
