  • Page 3: About The Ethernet Gateway

    GEN 2 Ethernet Gateways are advanced wireless IoT gateways that enable fast time-to-market solutions. Scigiene’s Ethernet Gateway 4 is specifically designed to respond to the increasing market need for global technology that accommodates various vertical IoT application segments and remote wireless sensor management solutions.

  • Page 4: How Your Gateway Works

    The GEN 2 Ethernet Gateway is an Ethernet gateway. It uses an Ethernet connection to relay data received from sensors to Scigiene Premier. Sensors communicate with the gateway; then, the gateway forwards information to the cloud.

  • Page 5: Gateway Security

    The GEN 2 Ethernet Gateway has been designed and built to manage data from sensors monitoring your environment and equipment securely. Hacking from botnets are in the headlines; Scigiene Corporation has taken extreme measures to ensure your data security is handled with the utmost care and attention to detail. The same methods utilized by financial institutions to transmit data are also used in Scigiene security infrastructure.

    Messages toggle is set to "Trigger Heartbeat" by default. This means the gateway will check in with the server address immediately and relay the aware state information to Scigiene Premier. Toggling this to "Wait for Heartbeat" will set the gateway to wait for its set heartbeat to elapse before communicating with the server.

These settings can both be configured both on Scigiene Premier and the local interface. See Figure 9. Inbound IP Range Start and End - This is the accepted IP address range for the SNMP client.
  • Page 12 Modbus Interface — Modbus TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is the Modbus RTU protocol with a TCP interface that runs on Ethernet. Scigiene provides the Modbus TCP interface for you to pull gateway and sensor data. You can use Modbus without the server interface active. The data will not be sent to a server, but you can continue to poll for new data as it is received by the gateway.

  • Page 13: Installing Scigiene Express Software

    Scigiene wireless gateways can be unlocked, allowing them to be directed to a custom host or IP address, where an installation of Scigiene MINE works as a translation application between Scigiene wireless sensors networks and existing or custom software applications.

  • Page 14: Using The Local Interface

    USING THE LOCAL INTERFACE If using Scigiene Premier is not an option, you can set up your gateway and sensors offline through the local web interface. This interface is enabled by default, but is configured to be read only. To make changes using this interface, the interface must be configured to allow changes to the device.

  • Page 15: Settings Tab

    "Read Only" keeps the interface active, but you cannot make any changes. You can only change the settings out of read through the HTTP Interface on Scigiene Premier; see page 10. "Always Available" makes the interface always open and editable.
  • Page 16 See Figure 18. Default Server Settings The default server is the Scigiene server. It is the only option enabled by default. The Heartbeat Minutes configures the interval that the gateway checks in with the server. The default is five minutes. So, every five minutes your gateway will report to the server.
  • Page 17 Leaving this set to the default "Wait for Heartbeat" setting will tell the gateway to wait for its set heartbeat to elapse before communicating with the server. The On Server Loss field sets what you wish to happen when the gateway loses communication with the server. The default setting "Log Sensor Data"...

Figure 20 Simple Network Management Protocol v1 Settings SNMP, Simple Network Management Protocol, settings for a gateway can be adjusted on the offline local interface. You can continue to use SNMP without the server interface active. The data will not be sent to a server, but you can continue to poll for the data as it is received by the gateway.
