Connecting the Power
The unit can be powered by connecting a power source to the terminal block.
1. We recommend using 24 to 16 AWG wire. Strip 9 to 10 mm of insulation off the end of the wire before
inserting it into the terminal block hole.
2. The power input range is from 12 to 48 VDC.
To remove the wire from the terminal block, use a flathead screwdriver to push the orange slot next to the
terminal block hole, and then pull the wire out.
Note that the unit does not have an on/off switch. It automatically turns on when it receives power. The PWR
LED on the front panel will glow to indicate that the unit is receiving power. There are two DC power inputs for
redundancy.
WARNING
This product is intended to be supplied by a Listed Direct Plug
-In Power Unit Tma = 75°C. If you need
assistance with purchasing
a power supply, please contact Moxa for information.
Connecting Serial Devices
The unit’s serial port(s) are located on the front panel. If you are connecting an RS-485 multidrop network with
multiple devices, note the following:
•All devices that are connected to a single serial port must use the same protocol (i.e., either Modbus RTU,
Modbus ASCII, or DNP3).
•Each master device must connect to its own port on the unit. If you are connecting to a network with both
master and slave devices, the master must be connected to a separate port from the slaves.
For serial port pin assignments, refer to the Pin Assignments section.
RS-485 Termination and Pull High/Low Resistors
In some critical RS-485 environments, you may need to add termination resistors to prevent the reflection of
serial signals. When using termination resistors, it is important to set the pull high/low resistors correctly so
that the electrical signal is not corrupted. For each serial port, DIP switches or jumper settings are used to set
the pull high/low resistor values. A built-in 120 Ω termination resistor can also be enabled.
To modify the termination and pull high/low resistor settings, refer to the hardware reference chapter for your
model.
ATTENTION
Do not use the 1 KΩ pull high/low setting on the MGate
W5108/W5208 when using the RS-
232 interface. Doing
so will degrade the RS
-232 signals and reduce the effective communication distance.

MGate W5108/W5208 Series Getting Started
2-3
First Time Configuration
To configure the gateway for the first time, use an Ethernet cable to connect the 10/100BaseT Ethernet port
located on the front panel to a PC. The unit’s Link LED will light up to indicate a live Ethernet connection.
To connect to the MGate to the web console, open a web browser and enter the MGate gateway's IP address.
http://<MGate IP address>
The default IP address is 192.168.127.254. The default user name and password are admin and moxa,
respectively.
The welcome page shows information relevant to the gateway.
Installing the Software
If you are unable to log in to the unit, you can use the Moxa Device Search Utility to search for the unit. The
Device Search Utility (DSU) can be installed from the Documentation and Software CD. Follow the onscreen
instructions after inserting the CD. For additional details, refer to Chapter 3: Device Search Utility.
Wiring Requirements
ATTENTION
Safety First!
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your
MGate W5108/W5208.
Wiring Caution!
Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and common wire. Observe all electrical codes
dictating the maximum current allowable for
each wire size.
If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could overheat, causing serious damage to your
equipment.
Temperature Caution!
Be careful when handling the
MGate W5108/W5208. When plugged in, the MGate W5108/W5208’s internal
com
ponents generate heat, and consequently the board may feel hot to the touch.

MGate W5108/W5208 Series Getting Started
2-4
You should also observe the following common wiring rules:
•Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power wiring and device wiring paths must
cross, make sure the wires are perpendicular at the intersection point.
NOTE: Do not run signal or communication wiring and power wiring in the same wire conduit. To avoid
interference, wires with different signal characteristics should be routed separately.
•You can use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine which wires should be kept separate.
The rule of thumb is that wiring that shares similar electrical characteristics can be bundled together.
•Keep input wiring and output wiring separate.
•When necessary, we strongly advise labeling wiring to all devices in the system.

Adjustable Pull High/Low Resistors for the
RS-485 Port
In some critical environments, you may need to add termination resistors to prevent the reflection of serial
signals. When using termination resistors, it is important to set the pull high/low resistors correctly so that the
electrical signal is not corrupted. The MGate W5108/W5208 uses DIP switches to set the pull high/low resistor
values for each serial port. Tear open the screws and find the DIP switches located at the back side of the PCB.
To add a 120 Ω termination resistor, set switch 3 on the port’s assigned DIP switch to ON; set switch 3 to
OFF (the default setting) to disable the termination resistor.
To set the pull high/low resistors to 150 KΩ, set switches 1 and 2 on the port’s assigned DIP switch to OFF.
This is the default setting.
To set the pull high/low resistors to 1 KΩ, set switches 1 and 2 on the port’s assigned DIP switch to ON.
ATTENTION
Do not use the 1 KΩ pull high/low setting on the MGate
W5108/W5208 when using the RS-
232 interface. Doing
so will degrade the RS
-232 signals and reduce the effective communication distance.

microSD Card
The MGate W5108/W5208 series gateway is equipped a microSD card slot for easy configuration. The microSD
card can be used to store an MGate’s system configuration settings and the MGate’s system log. In addition, a
configuration stored on a microSD card can be uploaded automatically to an MGate.
NOTE
Inserting a microSD card into an MGates microSD slot results in one of two actions, depending on what kind of
data is currently stored on the card
:
1.
If the microSD card contains a valid configuration file, the configuration will be automatically copied to
the
MGate.
2.
If the microSD card
does not contain a valid configuration file (e.g., if it’s empty), the MGate’s configuration
will be copied to the microSD card.
Backing Up a Configuration
Use the following procedure to copy the configuration of an MGate gateway to a microSD card:
1. Use a PC to format the microSD card to support FAT file systems, and delete all of the data on the card.
2. Power off the MGate and insert the microSD card (make sure the microSD card is empty).
3. Power on the MGate. The current settings will be copied to the microSD card.
4. If you modify the MGate’s configuration using MGate Manager or the Web Console while the microSD card
is installed in the gateway, your configuration changes will be automatically saved to the microSD card
when you save the configuration.
Configuring an MGate (Mass deployment/Replacement)
Use the following procedure to copy the configuration stored on a microSD card to an MGate gateway for mass
deployment or to replace a faulty unit:
1. Power off the MGate device (often a new device) and insert the microSD card.
2. Power on the MGate device.
3. The configuration file stored on the microSD card will be copied automatically to the MGate gateway.
microSD card Write Failure
The following events will cause the microSD card to experience a write failure.
1. The microSD card has less than 20 MB of free space.
2. The MGate configuration file is read-only.
3. The microSD card’s file system is corrupted.
4. The microSD card is damaged.

The MGate gateway will halt the write action if any of the above conditions exists. The MGate’s Ready LED will
flash and the beeper will sound to inform the user of the write failure. If you are replacing the microSD card, the
microSD card will be synchronized with the configurations stored on the MGate device. Note that the microSD
card should not contain any configuration files; otherwise, the configuration will be copied from the microSD
card to the MGate device.
WARNING
If your intention is to back up the configuration of an MGate gateway, it is best practice to
only insert an
empty microSD card
into the microSD slot. If the card contains a valid configuration file, that configuration
will automatically (without warning) overwrite the MGate’s current configuration.
