FUNCTION
The PulseWorx Gateway is a Powerline
I
nterface
Module
much like our
PIM-R RS-232
version that contains an
IP
Web
server and a
T
i

T
h
is
all-in-one device
makes it easy to enable UPStart Configuration Software or
other IP based device to communicate with a
UPB
network
and devices via a hardwired or
wireless
LAN
network or even
over the
internet.
The PGW
is simple to install – just plug it in to any standard
120VAC
wall outlet and connect a
CAT-5
cable between
it
and a network.
The
long distance capability of a network and
internet makes it possible to locate the PGW virtually
anywhere on site. The PGW is securely accessed with
an
assigned port while username and password protection is
enforced upon connection.
T
h
is
enables remote
c
onnection
of UPStart to a
PulseWorx/UPB
system to access and up
date
an installation or the use of smart phones or tablets with
t
h
e appropriate applications. No additional wiring is required
and no radio frequency
signals
are used for communication.
