2.3.2 Connecting the Wireless Gateway to a Local Area
Network and the Internet
The wireless gateway should be attached to the Local Area Network (LAN)/
Ethernet network using the supplied eight-conductor CAT5 Ethernet cable.
This connection is made directly to a network access device such as a router,
or through a wall jack that connects to a network access device. In all cases,
the Ethernet cable run is limited to 100 meters in total length. The Ethernet
cable must be connected to the Ethernet network before the wireless gate-
way is powered up.
2.3.3 Connecting Power
The wireless gateway is powered by the supplied AC to DC adapter. Plug the
adapter into the wireless gateway and then into a 120 VAC outlet.
Alternatively, you may power the wireless gateway from a 7 to 36 volt DC
power source capable of supplying 2 watts. You will need to supply a fused
2.1 x 5.5mm power cable. The center conductor is positive and the outer
conductor is negative.
2.4 Confi guring the Local Area Network
The wireless gateway communicates with Magnum Energy’s servers by
establishing an outgoing TCP/IP connection when data is received. At the
default 30-second data interval, the MagWeb system will send approximately
2.5 megabytes of data per day.
By default, the wireless gateway determines network confi guration using
DHCP or BOOTP. This information includes the wireless gateway’s LAN IP
address and router IP address. Most networks provide DHCP service and
therefore the wireless gateway usually does not require any confi guration.
For details on confi guring the wireless gateway for non-DHCP networks or
for special confi gurations, consult the troubleshooting section of this manual.
