EN6080 Area Control Gateway Overview
1.1 Introduction
The Inovonics EN6080 area control gateway bridges the Inovonics proprietary
commercial mesh network to a standard TCP/IP over Ethernet LAN, allowing
the entire range of Inovonics physical security products to be added to any IP-
based or PSIA revision 0.8 compliant system using RESTful web services.
Inovonics security products include motion detectors, glassbreak sensors,
panic buttons and door/window sensors. All of these operate on the self-
monitored and fully-supervised Inovonics EchoStream commercial mesh
network. Designed to move small amounts of data over a moderate range in
commercial environments, the commercial mesh network uses a frequency-
hopping, spread-spectrum technology that sends redundant messages across
multiple channels to avoid interference obstacles.
Due to its low latency and high reliability, the EchoStream commercial mesh
network is an ideal solution for security applications. The network is secure
and dedicated, ensuring personal security messages are delivered without
interference from less critical applications.
The EN6080 area control gateway includes a built-in web page server for
complete system setup and configuration, as well as enhanced, on-demand
system supervision for detailed event audits.
This manual covers the EN6080 area control gateway’s web page server. For
installation information, see the EN6080 Area Control Gateway Installation
Instructions; for information about integrating the EN6080 area control
gateway into a PSIA revision 0.8 system, see the EN6080 Area Control
Gateway Integration Guide.

1.2 Recommended System Requirements
The computer used to access the EN6080 area control gateway should meet
the following requirements:
• Windows® 7 operating system or later.
• Mozilla® Firefox® version 35 or later; Internet Explorer® version 11 or
later.
• Wired Ethernet interface.
• Minimum MTU 1280 bytes
1.3 EN6080 Area Control Gateway Initial Setup and
Connection
1.3.1 Disable Delayed ACK Mode on the Windows® 7 Operating
System
The EN6080 area control gateway currently does not respond to the delayed
ACK mode of operation that some Windows 7 machines use. Microsoft has
provided a fix for this as outlined below. A future revision of the EN6080
software will eliminate the need for this fix.
To disable delayed ACK mode in Windows 7 Service Pack 1 or above:

EN6080 Area Control Gateway Overview
3.18.15 06443E © 2015, Inovonics - www.inovonics.com 8
1. Open up the registry.
Figure 1-1 Open the registry
2. Un-collapse the following entry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Tcpip\P
arameters\Interfaces]
3. You will probably find several subfolders. Click through each folder until
you find the one with the most entries in the right pane. The correct
interface will have many entries. For example: DGCPDefaultGateway,
DHCPDomain, DHCPIPAddress, Lease, NameServer, T1, etc.
Figure 1-2 Find the subfolder with the most entries

EN6080 Area Control Gateway Overview
3.18.15 06443E © 2015, Inovonics - www.inovonics.com 9
4. For each of those entries in the Interfaces folder, create two DWORD
registry keys called TCPAckFrequency and TCPNoDelay.
Figure 1-3 Create DWORD registry keys
Here’s an example what it should look like:
Figure 1-4 Edited entry example
5. Double-click on each new registry key and change the value from 0 to 1.
(Base hexadecimal.)
6. Exit the registry editor.
7. Reboot your PC.
1.3.2 Configure Network Settings (for Windows 7)
The EN6080 area control gateway comes from the factory configured with a
static IP address of 192.168.60.80. To initially communicate with the EN6080
area control gateway, you will need to connect to a computer's Ethernet port.
This might mean disconnecting from your LAN.
To connect to the EN6080 area control gateway, you will first need to configure
the network settings on your computer.
Note: This procedure will change your network settings. Make a note of your current
network configuration, so you can return to it when finished interfacing with the
EN6080 area control gateway.
1. From the control panel, click “Network and Internet.”
2. Click “Network and Sharing Center.”
3. Click “Change adapter settings.”
4. Right click on the local area connection used to connect to the network,
and select “Properties.”

The system connection summary fields on the home screen allow the system
to be viewed at a glance.
• The “Devices Registered” field displays the total number of devices
registered to the EN6080 area control gateway.
• The “Devices In Alarm” field displays the number of registered devices
that are in alarm.
• The “Devices Inactive” field displays the number of registered devices
that are inactive. A device is considered inactive if the EN6080 area
control gateway has not received a check-in message from the device
during the supervision window, indicating the radio link has been broken.
2.1.2 Device Information
The device information table (located below the system connection summary)
displays an overview of each registered device. All columns are sortable;
simply click on any column header to sort in ascending or descending order.
The search field can be used to locate specific devices; it covers data in all
fields, and accepts letters and numbers, but no wildcard characters.
The following information is included:
• The “TX ID” field displays the factory coded unique identification number
of the transmitter. The TX ID is primarily used for registration.
• The “Device Status” field displays whether the device is active or inactive.
A device is considered active if a check in message has been received
during the programmed supervision period, indicating the radio link is
sound.
• The “Alarm State” field displays whether or not the device is in a state of
alarm.
• The “Type” field displays the Inovonics model number and device type.
• The “Description” field displays the user defined description of the device.
Typically, this is a brief indication of where the end device is used, or, in
the case of a mobile device, the name of the person to whom it is
assigned.
• The “Partition” field displays the user defined area to which devices are
assigned as a single entity. For instance, “front door,” or “lobby.” Placing

3/18/15 06443E © 2015, Inovonics - www.inovonics.com 18
3.2.1 Configure a Static IP Address
By default, the EN6080 is configured with a static IP of 192.168.60.80 and a
subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Before configuring the IP address, you will
need to attain a known good static IP address, subnet mask, and gateway on
the target network from your IP administrator.
To configure a static IP address:
1. Select “Static” to choose a static IP address for the EN6080 area control
gateway.
2. Enter the known good IP address in the “IP:” field.
3. Enter the subnet mask of the IP network in the “Subnet:” field.
4. Enter the gateway for this IP network in the “Gateway:” field.
5. Click “Update” to configure the EN6080 area control gateway IP address.
6. A dialog box will display, reading “This update will require a reboot of the
ACG. Once you make this change the browser will automatically update
to the new address. Are you sure you want to make this change?” Click
“OK.”
7. When the “Refresh” button displays, click it.
3.2.2 Configure a DHCP IP Address
By default, the EN6080 is configured with a static IP of 192.168.60.80 and a
subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. You will also need to ensure that the target
network has a DHCP server on it.
1. Select the “DHCP” radio button.
2. Click “Update.”
3. A dialog box will display, reading “This update will require a reboot of the
ACG. Once you make this change the browser will automatically update
to the new address. Are you sure you want to make this change?” Click
“OK.”

ACG Setup
3/18/15 06443E © 2015, Inovonics - www.inovonics.com 19
The EN6080 area control gateway will request a new IP address from the
DHCP server and, if successful, display the IP update dialog box shown in
Figure 3-3. Write down the new IP address displayed in the IP update dialog
box.
Figure 3-3 IP update dialog box
4. Click “Accept New IP.”
5. The EN6080 area control gateway will reboot. When the “Refresh” button
displays, click it.
3.3 Date and Time Setup
The EN6080 area control gateway contains a real time clock that is used to tag
events and log entries. The date and time setup screen is used to configure
the date and time of that clock. It is only accessible to admin level users. The
area control gateway can either poll the Network Time Protocol servers to
automatically synchronize the time and date, or synchronize time and date
with the computer connected to the EN6080.
If the time reported by the EN6080 area control gateway differs from the time
setting on the computer by more than five seconds, it will be reported on the
home page. Discrepancies as small as one second will be reported on the date
and time setup page.
