9410 series - User manual
NOTE: EtherGate supports only one client device.
Before configuring EtherGate, confirm the following:
• The serial network of devices are wired to the gateway meter's serial communication port.
• All serial devices are configured to have the same baud rate, serial port settings (for example:
8N1), and protocol (ION).
• Each serial device has a unique unit identifier (unit ID/address).
• Your gateway meter is communicating over Ethernet.
You can then configure the gateway meter's serial port to use the EtherGate protocol, create the
EtherGate site in ION Setup or an energy management system, and add the serial devices to the
EtherGate site.
Secure EtherGate
Secure EtherGate enhances the security of the EtherGate protocol by using a TLS encrypted
tunnel between the device and the software client.
Secure EtherGate is an option available in the Protocol setup register of the serial communication
modules on the device.
The Secure EtherGate is available at port 7801/7802. If Secure ION is disabled, Secure
EtherGate will continue to accept and parse incoming data to the serial port.
NOTE: The additional TLS layer applies to the TCP/IP based connection (Ethernet side) only. It
does not apply to the serial side of the EtherGate connection.
Configuring EtherGate or Secure EtherGate using ION Setup
To configure EtherGate or Secure EtherGate communications using ION Setup:
1. Start ION Setup.

3. Click Communications > Serial settings.
4. Select Com1.
5. Highlight the parameter, and then click Edit. Enter the meter password if prompted
6. Change the settings, and then click OK to save the changes.
