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.
