Badger Meter GALAXY - Manual (Page 18)

GALAXY® Gateway Receiver 3.0 Fixed Network
Wi-Fi Gateway
The LAN Gateway Receiver receives the transmissions from the Badger Meter GALAXY endpoints . These transmissions are in
turn delivered via a LAN connection to the Badger Meter GALAXY control center software application .
In order to prepare the LAN Gateway Receiver for operation, two key parameters are programmed into the LAN
Gateway Receiver:
1 . Wi-Fi settings such as SSID, security mode and password .
2 . The IP address of the Destination server (Static IP Address) .
- A publicly accessible static IP address . This should be available from the utility’s Internet Service Provider (the IP
address may not be free of charge) .
- For the static IP address in Item 1, the firewall must allow bi-directional data on Port 5003 .
- The data being sent/received on the above mentioned IP address and Port, must be routed to the PC (or server)
running the Badger Meter ReadCenter software .
NOTE: N These parameters will be pre-programmed into the GALAXY Gateway prior to delivery . As such, they are not
necessary for installation but must be ascertained prior to shipment .
Once these parameters have been entered, the Wi-Fi Gateway Receiver is ready for use, and no further programming should
be required, unless the server is changed . In such a circumstance, the IP address of the server will need to be reprogrammed
for the Wi-Fi Gateway Receiver .
