  • Page 3: About The Gen 2 4G Cellular Gateway

    The Scigiene GEN 2” 4G Cellular Gateway uses 4G LTE CAT-M1/NB2 cellular technology to control GEN 2 Wireless Sensor settings without additional IT infrastructure. All you need is a power source and the Scigiene Premiere cloud platform to monitor your environment and equipment using Scigiene’s industry- leading wireless devices.

  • Page 4: How Your Gateway Works

    The gateway will store data it received from sensors until its next Heartbeat. The GEN 2 4G Cellular Gateway is a cellular (LTE-M or CAT-M1) gateway. It uses its connection to relay data received from sensors to Scigiene Premiere cloud-based software.

    II. GATEWAY SECURITY The GEN 2 4G Cellular Gateway is designed and built to manage data from sensors monitoring your environment and equipment securely. The same methods used by financial institutions to transmit data are also used in Scigiene security infrastructure. The 4G Cellular Gateway’s security features tamper-proof network interfaces, data encryption, and bank-grade security.

    Subsequent connections are typically faster. 4G Cellular GATEWAY SETTINGS (SCIGIENE PREMIERE) The 4G Cellular Gateway will receive data from all sensors assigned to the network and within range, then return this data to the server in a series of Heartbeats.
  • Page 9 Ethernet Settings (future capability) Choose the Ethernet Settings tab under Settings to open up the configuration page for the Local Area Network (LAN). The LAN is used for local configuration options when server connectivity is not possible. This page includes the ability to switch your network Internet Protocol (IP) Address from DHCP assigned to Static.
  • Page 10 Cellular Settings The Global System for Mobile Communications utilizes a 15-digit IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) number as the primary mode to identify the country, mobile network, and subscriber. It is formatted as MCC-MNC-MSIN. MCC is the Mobile Country Code. MNC is the Mobile Network Code attached to the cellular network.
  • Page 11 Figure 9 Carrier APN is provided by the carrier and enables access to the cellular carrier's network and public or private Internet access. SIM Authentication Type: A minority of APNs are set up with a username and password used to create authenticated network sessions. Where this is not the case, the default of None may be selected in the drop-down menu.
  • Page 12 Commands Choose the Commands tab located just under Settings to access the Commands page. The Auto Reset field is the amount of time in hours that the Local Interface will automatically reboot. Setting this to 0 will disable the feature. The maximum setting is 8760 hours.

  • Page 13: Using The Local Interface

    III. USING THE LOCAL INTERFACE If using Scigiene Premiere is not an option, you can set up your gateway settings through the local interface. • Connect the gateway Ethernet cord by one of the following methods: o AUTO-IP Method: Plug the cable directly into a PC and disable other networking interfaces.
  • Page 14 Cellular Network Status Link - Defines whether your Cellular Network is connected. IMEI - (International Mobile Equipment Identity) is a number exclusive to your LTE International Gateway to identify the gateway to the cell tower. The Global System for Mobile Communications network stores the IMEI numbers in their database (EIR - Equipment Identity Register) containing all valid cellular equipment.
  • Page 15 Figure 13 GENERAL CONFIGURATIONS Gateway Settings Power Mode - As discussed above, this setting allows the user to choose Standard, which keeps lights and cellular transmission active when plugged into an outlet, or when on battery power, powers down lights and the cellular connection between communications. The user may also choose Force Low Power, so the gateway always powers down the lights and the cellular connection when not talking to the server, or Force High Power, so the gateway always keeps the lights and cellular transmission active.

    The gateway must be submitted to a factory reboot, or reconfigured in Scigiene Premiere, so that the HTTP Interface can change settings again during the timeout window. The timeout window is refreshed each time the Interface page is refreshed or every time the gateway restarts the HTTP interface.

  • Page 17: Cellular Network

    CELLULAR NETWORK The Cellular Network Configuration holds a drop-down menu to select your cell Carrier Preferences, concerning the APN and the active bands enabled for Cat-M1/LTE Cat-M/LTE-M and NB-4G Cellular communication with a cellular tower. In most situations, Auto Configuration should be selected to allow the preconfigured SIM card shipped with the 4G Cellular Gateway to handle configuration of the APN and active bands.

  • Page 19: Wireless Network

    This is an alternative way to add devices to communicate with your gateway. Any wireless device added here will continue to display on your Scigiene Premiere account. However, once you have added one or more devices to your gateway’s network here, the network should be reformed to inform the gateway.

  • Page 20: Miscellaneous

    Reform Network Selecting the Reform Now button will trigger the gateway to remove all of the sensors from the internal whitelist, and then request a new sensor list from the server. This command will force all of the sensors to reinitialize their connection with the gateway. Reforming the network cleans up communication when multiple networks are in range of each other so they are all in sync.
