Installation and Operation Manual
1 Overview
Inovonics IP gateways combine the functionality of an Inovonics receiver
with the flexibility of an IP appliance. Each gateway kit starts with an
EN4080 IP gateway, and is loaded with a license for your specific
application. Kits may include additional hardware and/or accessories as
described in the following sections.
Inovonics IP gateways are available in the following configurations:
1.1 Resources
1.2 EN7580/EN7581 TapWatch Gateway
The EN7580 TapWatch gateway and EN7581 TapWatch gateway lite
provide direct access reads data from Inovonics submetering sensors for
integration into billing software via TapWatch APIs, as well as the manual
access of reads data through the TapWatch application. Designed for large
properties, the EN7580 TapWatch gateway supports up to 2000
submetering transmitters; supporting 50 transmitters and repeaters, the
EN7581 TapWatch gateway lite is ideal for smaller residential or light
commercial properties. This kit includes an ACC 610 transformer and
power cable for installations using line power.
For TapWatch application information, see the TapWatch Application User
Manual available under “Installation Instructions” in the documentation
library.
1.3 EN7380 Senior Living Gateway
The EN7380 senior living gateway receives EchoStream messages from
EchoStream senior living transmitters, locators and repeaters, filtering out
unregistered transmitter IDs (TXIDs), and enabling cloud-based Inovonics
senior living solutions to be delivered via API to your application software.
This kit includes an ACC 610 transformer and power cable for installations
using line power.
1.4 EN7295 Security Gateway
The EN7295 security gateway receives EchoStream messages from
Inovonics security devices, filtering out unregistered transmitter IDs
(TXIDs) before sending the data to Inovonics cloud services via API. This
kit includes a EN2233S test pendant plus an ACC 610 transformer and
power cable for installations using line power.
1.5 EN4080 IP Gateway
1.6 The EN4080 IP gateway allows for one of two licenses. With a
message queuing telemetry transport (MQTT) license, the IP gateway
outputs messages in the MQTT protocol; with a BACnet/IP license, the IP
gateway outputs messages in the BACnet/IP protocol, which is widely used
for building automation and control networks.
For MQTT license information, see the E*4080 IP Gateway Amazon Web
Services MQTT Quick Start Tech Note; for BACnet license information, see
the E*4080 IP Gateway BACnet/IP Quick Start Tech Note. Both are
available under “Tech Notes” in the documentation library.

Figure 7 Load IP gateway’s configuration file onto a USB drive.
9. On your PC, open the configuration file from the USB drive.
• It will be named en4080-XX-config-YYYYMMDD-
HHMMSS.yaml, where XX is the last two hex digits of the
Ethernet MAC address, as shown on the label on the back of
the house, and YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS is the current date and
time.
10. Enter the configuration information into the .yaml file:
• Enter TXIDs for the transmitters and any repeaters to be
registered to the IP gateway, referring to and overwriting the
examples provided in the file, separated by commas.
Note: Entering TXIDs in the config file is only necessary for the EN4080.
The EN7295, EN7380, EN7580 and EN7581 will pull the TXIDs from
Inovonics Cloud Services.
• Enter the desired hostname, port, and other configuration
settings for the remote server where the IP-based application is
running.
• Configure the network connectivity as desired. By default, only
Ethernet is enabled with DHCP; WiFi is disabled. See the
individual manual for your application for configuration details.
• Configure a senior living gateway for a directed network by
setting the NID value in the .yaml file. The keyword NID and
value are required in the radio section of the configuration file.
Note: When using an EN6040 network coordinator with a directed network,
it needs to remain powered at all times to ensure continuous operation.
11. Save the configuration file onto the USB drive as
en4080-config.yaml, ensuring no further hidden extensions on the file
name.
12. Load the configuration file onto the IP gateway:
a. Safely eject the USB drive from the PC.
b. Press the IP gateway’s reset button.
c. Wait for the green LED to flash.
d. Insert the USB flash drive into either of the IP gateway's USB ports.
e. When the red LED is solidly lit, indicating the gateway has finished
processing the configuration file, remove the USB drive.
Note: If the red LED is not solidly lit, the yaml file did not load. Please
check formatting, ensure you are using Notepad ++ or a similar yaml editor
and use a yaml validator such as yamllint.com.
Note: An en4080-XX-status-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.txt file will be created
on the USB drive with details about the configuration file load.
13. Use a Phillips screwdriver to close the IP gateway housing.
Note: The RF antennae are optimized for best performance with the cover
closed.
Once the IP gateway is functional and all transmitter TXIDs have been
registered, the LEDs will function as follows:
• Green: Blinks when powering up; solid when power up is complete.
• Orange: Blinks while establishing an IP connection; solid when IP
connected.
• Red: Blinks upon message receipt from any transmitter.
3 Tips and Notes
3.1 Installation Notes
• These products are designed to be maintained by professional
technicians.
• Products are tested for indoor use.
• Inovonics recommends registering and testing end devices prior to
installation, using a floor plan or something similar to indicate
installation locations. Consider marking or applying descriptive labels
to the end device cases to ensure proper installation. Conduct a site
survey with an Inovonics survey kit prior to installation to assist with
RF gateway, repeater and end device placement.
• Inovonics recommends avoiding double-NAT and other non-standard
network topologies, a business class Internet connection with a
minimum of 512kbps up and down, and a business class (not
residential class) router.
• Use a brand name USB flash drive with a FAT32 (vfat) filesystem for
configuration.
• The IP gateway configuration file is YAML formatted. See yaml.org for
details.
• If using line power, keep cable length to less than 10 feet to minimize
noise pickup.
• The IP gateway has no open ports and uses very little bandwidth, only
posting small messages periodically. Any significant bandwidth usage
is transitory and brief, but does include reporting any buffered
messages after an Internet connection disruption is resolved,
occasional firmware updates, and a nightly Internet connection test (at
a random time during the 08:00 UTC hour).
• Metal will reduce radio frequency (RF) range. Mount the IP gateway in
a location removed from metal, including duct work, wire mesh
screens, IT closets, metal boxes, etc. For additional information, see
the "EchoStream Device Installation Recommendation" tech note at
www.inovonics.com.
• The first time you connect an IP gateway to the Internet it will check
for and initiate firmware updates. This will take up to 15 minutes and
the gateway may experience a reboot cycle to complete the update.
• The EchoStream system should be tested regularly to ensure
operation. To test, place the system in test mode, activate an end
device, and ensure an appropriate response.
3.2 Internet Connectivity Troubleshooting
In the case of a connectivity issue, ensure the following:
• There is no loose or disconnected cabling.
• There is power to Ethernet routers and/or switches.
• Wired connectivity is 10/100 Ethernet.
• If using DHCP, the renewal time is greater than an hour, but less than
infinite.
• WiFi is 802.11b/g/n using 2.4GHz, supporting WPA2 (personal).
• The router/firewall allows outbound connections without filtering or
proxying on these ports: DNS (TCP/UDP 53); HTTPS (TCP 443); NTP
(UDP 123); OTA (TCP 9000).
