PulseWorx PGW Quick Start Manual

Quick Start Guide
PulseWorx Gateway
PGW

FUNCTION

The PulseWorx Gateway is a Powerline Interface Module
much like our PIM-R RS-232 version that contains an IP Web
server and a Timed Event Controller. This all-in-one device
makes it easy to enable UPStart Configuration Software or
other IP based device to communicate with a UPB network
and devices via a hardwired or wireless LAN network or even
over the internet.
The PGW is simple to install – just plug it in to any standard
120VAC wall outlet and connect a CAT-5 cable between it
and a network. The long distance capability of a network and
internet makes it possible to locate the PGW virtually
anywhere on site. The PGW is securely accessed with an
assigned port while username and password protection is
enforced upon connection. This enables remote connection
of UPStart to a PulseWorx/UPB system to access and update
an installation or the use of smart phones or tablets with
the appropriate applications. No additional wiring is required
and no radio frequency signals are used for communication.

INSTALLATION

The PGW is designed for indoor use with a router or hub connected to

1. Connect an Ethernet cable (sold separately) between the PGW's
RJ45 connector and any open port of the router, hub or
network.
2. Plug the PGW into any grounded wall outlet. The Status LED on
the front of the unit should start blinking and then stay solid
blue.
3. The two Network LED's on the RJ45 connector should be solid
orange and blinking green once on line.

Status LED Indications

The PGW contains a bi-color (blue/red) Status LED that will also give a
visual indication of what UPB information is currently on the
powerline.
Blue: No UPB Signal
Magenta: Received a UPB Message
Red: Transmitted a UPB Message
