This document provides instructions for connecting a NetComm Wireless NTC-220 or NTC-140W Series
wireless router to one of the following Eaton connectivity cards
• Industrial Gateway Card (INDGW-M2)
• Gigabit Industrial Gateway X2 Card (INDGW-X2)
• Power Xpert Gateway UPS (PXGX-UPS)
• Power Xpert Gateway Minislot UPS (PXGMS)
• Gigabit Network (Network-M2)
NOTE The Network-M2 card has now reached end-of-life (EOL) status.
PPrreerreeqquuiissiitteess
• Eaton UPS with a INDGW-M2, INDGW-X2, PXGX-UPS, PXGMS, or Network-M2 card
• USB-to-USB (Type B) cable for PXGX-UPS
• USB-to-USB (MiniTypeB) for PXGMS
• USB-to-USB (MicroUSB B) for INDGW-M2, INDGW-X2, or Network-M2
• Serial COM port or USB-to-serial 9-pin male adapter
• An existing PredictPulse account (refer to the PredictPulse Quick Start Guide)
• Download the latest card firmware and RNDIS driver from the Eaton product site
For the INDGW-M2 card, go to
https //www.eaton.com/us/en-us/catalog/backup-power-ups-surge-it-power-distribution/eaton-
industrial-gateway-card.resources.html
For the INDGW-X2 card, go to
https //www.eaton.com/us/en-us/catalog/backup-power-ups-surge-it-power-distribution/eaton-gigabit-
industrial-gateway-card.html.
Go to the Resources page and scroll down to the Software, firmware, and applications section. Click
the links to download the firmware and RNDIS driver files.
NOTE The Netcomm Wireless router must be powered by a 120V electrical outlet powered by
the UPS. This ensures that the router is protected during a power outage. If no UPS-
protected outlet is available, a Universal Accessory Power (UAP) kit is required. The UAP
must be installed by an Eaton technician. Contact your Eaton service representative for a
quote.

The hot-swappable INDGW-M2 and INDGW-X2 cards (see Figure 1 and Figure 2) can be installed without
turning off the UPS or disconnecting the load. To install the card
1. Ensure that the UPS has logic power.
2. Remove the two screws securing the Minislot or X-slot cover and remove the cover from the UPS. Retain
the screws.
3. Remove the INDGW-M2 or INDGW-X2 card from its shipping package.
4. Slide the card into the open slot. Secure with the screws removed in Step 2.
5. Wait for the Warning LED (see Figure 1 or Figure 2) to flash only green to indicate that the card is
operational. The ON LED also flashes green when the card is ready.
6. Connect a USB cable from the SETTINGS port of the INDGW-M2 or INDGW-X2 card to a USB port on the
laptop.
• Windows will automatically detect the INDGW-M2 or INDGW-X2 card connection
7. Open a web browser and enter https://169 254 0 1. You are prompted to log in.

10. Enter the new password Eaton123!, re-enter the new password, and press Submit.
Entering a password other than Eaton123! will cause the PredictPulse activation to fail.
11. Read and accept the license agreement.
12. The INDGW-M2 or INDGW-X2 card home page displays (see Figure 3).
13. The green ON LED should be flashing to indicate that the card is operating normally (see Figure 1 or
Figure 2).
If the green ON LED is not flashing, the INDGW-M2 card may need to be reset. Remove the card to reset it,
wait 10 seconds, plug it back in, and wait 3 minutes. If the LED still does not flash, contact the Brightlayer Data
Center at 800-356-5737, option 2, option 2 to troubleshoot.

2. Install the EMP as directed in the
Environmental Monitoring Probe Gen2 EMPDT1H1C2 Installation Instructions.
• Set the MODBUS ADDRESS switches on each EMP as appropriate for your application (see Figure 5).
For example, for an application with one EMP, set the switches as shown in Figure 5, with switch 1
and TER (termination) in the 1position. For a multiple-EMP application, at least one switch must be
set on each EMP in in the daisy-chain and the TER switch set on the last EMP in the daisy-chain.
