MGate Manager is a Windows-based utility that is used to configure the MGate EIP3000. Before running MGate Manager, make sure that your PC and the MGate EIP3000 are connected to the same network. Alternatively, the MGate EIP3000 may be connected directly to the PC for configuration purposes.
MGate Manager needs to connect to the unit before the unit can be configured. There are two methods to connect to the unit. Broadcast Search is used to find every MGate EIP3000 on the LAN. Search by IP attempts to connect to a specific unit by IP address, which is useful if the unit is located outside the LAN or can only be accessed by going through a router.
MGate EIP3000 Series User’s Manual Configuring the EtherNet/IP Gateway When the search is complete, every MGate EIP3000 that is found on the LAN will appear in the window with MAC address and IP address. Simply select the one that you wish to configure.
Try doing the search again and re-entering the IP address carefully. Another possibility is that the MGate EIP3000 is located on the same LAN as your PC, but on a different subnet. In this case, you can modify your PC’s IP address and or netmask so that it is on the same subnet as the MGate EIP3000.
