3.3 Conﬁguring in Manual Mode

This section contains step-by-step instructions on conﬁguring two GadgetGateways to

tunnel ANSI/EIA 709.1 packets between each other. This will create an IP backbone for a

ANSI/EIA 709.1 network.

1. Using the serial connection, set up an IP address, subnet mask, and Gateway address

for the two GadgetGateways (See Section 4.2, "GadgetGateway IP Configuration" ).

Using a PC attached to the network, verify that the Gateways can be pinged.

Note: Consult with the network administrator to procure the IP address, subnet mask, and

Gateway address, if not already known.

2. Set both Gateways to Manual mode. This can be done through either the 709.1/IP Gate-

way Main Menu in the Serial Interface (Section 4.4.6), or through the Router Setup

page on the Web Interface (Section 5.4).

3. Using either the Serial Interface or the Web Interface, add the other Gateway's IP

address and communications port number (the default port is 1628) into each Gate-

way's Channel List (Section 4.4.12 or Section 5.4).

4. Set the addressing type to unicast or multicast in the channel details menu. (See

Section 4.7 on page 19)

5. Once steps 1–3 have been completed, the Gateways will be able to communicate with

each other over the IP network. This can be verified by pressing the service pin on one

of the Gateways and checking the Statistics Menu (Section 4.11.60 and Section 5.5) on

the other gateway. In the Serial Interface, the fields "Data Packets Received" and "IP

Packets Received" should increase with each service pin.

6. For the Gateways to tunnel traffic, the Gateways' ANSI/EIA 709.1 interface must be set

up. This can be accomplished using either the LT Parameter menu in the serial interface

(See Section 4.9 on page 24) or the LonMaker Management Tool or any other compati-

ble management tool. Refer to the management tool's documentation on commission-

ing routers or gateways. For example, the GadgetGateway can be commissioned using

the Router icon within LonMaker.

Note: Flood mode can only be conﬁgured while in manual mode and using the serial inter-

face. (See Section 4.4.6 on page 10)

Note: Save conﬁguration data after completing the conﬁguration steps. Manually entered

conﬁguration data will be lost on a reboot unless it is saved ﬁrst. To save conﬁguration

data to ﬂash Select [S] from the Main Menu and press ENTER. (See Section 4.3.4)
