Chapter 5 Networking with a Gateway

In the screen shot above the RUI/GTW is shown

highlighted to bring greater clarity to the subject in

focus. Any EZ-ZONE device on the network will ap-

pear in this window and would be available for the

purpose of configuration and monitoring. After click-

ing on the RUI/GTW simply click the next button

once again where the screen below will appear.

Notice in the screen shot above that the device part

number is clearly displayed at the top of the page

(yellow highlight added for emphasis). When multiple

EZ-ZONE devices are on the network it is important

that the part number be noted prior to configuring so

as to avoid making unwanted configuration changes

to another controller.

Looking closely at the left hand column (Param-

eter Menus) notice that it displays all of the available

menus and associated parameters within the gateway

The menu structure as laid out within this software

follows:
- Communications

- Global

- Local Remote Gateway

- Lock

- Diagnostics
Navigating through this software and acquiring a

better understanding of the available options is easy.

Simply slide the scroll bar up or down to display the

menu and parameter of choice. As an alternative,

menus can be collapsed for greater focus on the menu

of choice and or expanded for a broader view of all

menus by clicking on the plus or negative symbol

next to menu name. Once the focus is brought to an

individual parameter of choice (single click of mouse)

as shown below for Local Remote Gateway 1, all that

can be setup related to that parameter will appear in

the center column along with context sensitive help in

the right hand column. If a parameter is grayed out

(not selectable) as shown in the center column below,

that function is either not enabled or it does not ap-

ply.

To speed up the process of configuration notice

that at the bottom of the center column there is an

option to copy settings. If gateway settings are the

same for all instances click on "Copy Settings" where

a copy from to copy to dialog box will appear allowing

for quick duplication of all settings.

Once the configuration is complete click the "Fin-

ish" button at the bottom right of the screen above.

The screen that follows this action can be seen below.
