Introduction - Omega GW-001 Series User Manual

2 Introduction

The Layer N Ethernet Gateway (GW-001 Series) is a high-performance gateway that allows for seamless, wireless,
connection to up to 100 long-range Layer N Smart Sensor Devices. The Ethernet-enabled RJ45 connectivity ensures a
direct connection to the Layer N Cloud or to a local-area enterprise network. The local built-in web server is also
accessible through the RJ45 port. The different GW-001 series models support multiple device connection types
including Modbus TCP/RTU RS232/RS485 and USB ports to enable local smart probe connections.
Layer N Cloud and OEG subscription tiers can be purchased on the Omega website.
Important:
Users who will only be connecting to a local-area, enterprise ecosystem with Omega Enterprise Gateway
(OEG) do not need to create a Layer N Cloud account to use the Layer N Gateway in Enterprise Mode.
