5. Advanced Settings and Interfacing with the G-HUB Ethernet
Gateway Through iG-HUB.
1. Ethernet Gateway Edit Screen
When you log into the online system, the default view shows all of your sensors last
recorded data.
The name can be edited to whatever you prefer.
The gateway type should NOT be edited, unless you are directed to do so by a G-HUB
Support Representative.
The unit's MAC Address is viewable here, should you need to access it.
The heartbeat dictates how often the gateway communicates with the server. This is both
for communication passed up to the server from the gateway and the communication
passed to the gateway from the server. Exceptions to this interval include Aware mes-
sages from sensors.
The Enterprise Server Host address and Communication Port will always be one of G-
HUB's servers and ports by default, but should you require that the gateway be pointed
to your private servers, the gateway can be configured to do so. Make sure to set the
appropriate port as well, if port 3000 will not be used.

To set the Static IP, uncheck the Use DHCP box and fill in the settings:
The force transmit on Aware box tells the gateway to deliver immediately the messages
marked as Aware from the sensors. If this box is unchecked and the setting is saved,
then the gateway only dumps the sensor messages it has been collecting on the Heart-
beat Interval. This allows for controlled communication when sporadic communication
from the gateway is either unacceptable or not ideal.
2. External Interfaces:
Data collected by the Ethernet Gateway from the sensors in the network can be accessed
when these interfaces are turned on. Multiple interfaces can be active at the same time.
All interfaces require that the Ethernet gateway be set to a Static IP address. (By default,
the unit uses DHCP).
Real Time TCP Interface
Poll on the gateway's assigned port to retrieve gateway and sensor data.
Mark the interface active and Save. The default port is 3500, but can be edited.
