Chapter 3. System Setup
This chapter describes how to install the Telemetry Gateway. The Telemetry
Gateway is intended for indoor use only.
Before proceeding with the installation, take your time to plan your network.
The following installation options are available depending on how the gateway
will be used:
•
•

If you will be running the Telemetry Gateway as a mobile wireless station
(GSM), a stable, fast internet connection with a static and public IP address
is sufficient. Dynamic IP addresses are not supported. Make sure that the
mobile service provider offers adequate on-site coverage.
If the Telemetry Gateway is going to be operated with one or more ADCON
wireless modems, the base unit consists of the A850 Telemetry Gateway or
a connected A440 and/or up to 10 RA440 modems.
The Telemetry Gateway may only be installed by qualified electricians and
authorized personnel.
Protect the Telemetry Gateway from excessive heat and humidity.
All connecting lines must be laid in a manner that prevents tripping and
they must not be kinked or subjected to mechanical stress.
The mast on which the wireless modem is mounted must be properly
grounded.
From a wireless technology perspective, the height of the receiving antenna
is crucial for long-range data transmission. The higher the modem is
mounted, the greater its transmission range.
For good transmission quality, the distance between the Telemetry Gateway
and the modem is critical. Install the components of the base station as
close as possible to each other.
Make sure that the base station is placed as centrally as possible in the area
of the connected RTUs.
The server room must be air conditioned.
If you plan to operate the Telemetry Gateway as a server, include an option
to establish a remote connection (Remote Desktop Protocol, TeamViewer
etc.).
