Introduction to your EAGLE-200
Congratulations on getting an EAGLE-200, the most versatile link to your smart meter
energy information. This device is a compact gateway that connects directly to the
smart meter using Zigbee wireless. It reads the meter in real time, and streams the
data to your home network and our Rainforest Cloud.
Your EAGLE-200 will help you track the energy consumption of your home –whether
you are home or not. This will help you take control of your usage, and allow you to
save energy and lower your utility bills.
It’s easy to get started: just plug in your EAGLE-200 and log into rainforestcloud.com
with your web browser. The Rainforest Cloud provides you with a simple graph that
shows you your smart meter data in real time. It can be viewed on your computer,
tablet, or smart phone anywhere that you have internet access.

Quick Setup
Step 1: Prerequisite software and hardware
1) A free Ethernet port, or WiFi access, on a router directly connected to the
internet.
2) A PC or other device with a web browser.
3) A utility meter with a certified Zigbee radio less than 100 feet from the
EAGLE-200.
Step 2: Register your EAGLE-200
Your EAGLE-200 device must be registered with your utility to connect to the
smart meter. You will need to contact your utility with two numbers (MAC
Address and Install Code) that can be found on the Information Label on the
underside of your EAGLE-200:
Note that it may take some time for your utility to enable the smart meter to
connect with your device. You must wait until this process is complete before
proceeding; your EAGLE-200 will not function correctly until the smart meter is
enabled.
Step 3: Power up your EAGLE-200
a) Plug the Ethernet cable into a port on your router, and the other end into the
Ethernet port on your EAGLE-200.It is also possible to connect wirelessly
using WiFi. If you wish to use WiFi, skip to the WiFi Setup section of this
manual.

b) Plug the AC adapter into a nearby wall outlet, and plug the other end into the
power socket on the EAGLE-200. It is important that only the included 5v
adapter is used to power your EAGLE-200. If another adapter is used, it may
cause permanent damage to the unit.
c) Allow three minutes for the device to boot up. You should see that 4 of the 5
status LED lights at the front of the EAGLE-200 are on continuously.
This indicates that the unit is functioning normally.
Now you need to skip ahead to the Connect to the Cloud section of this manual.

WiFi Setup
Sometimes it is not possible to use the Ethernet cable to connect the EAGLE-200 to
your router. For instance, if the router is too far away from your utility meter, it may be
beyond the range of the meter’s Zigbee radio. Or, there may not be an available port on
your router. In these cases, you may choose to use the internal WiFi radio in the
EAGLE-200 to connect to your router.
After your EAGLE-200 has been registered with your utility and your meter has been
enabled to communicate, follow these steps to connect your EAGLE-200 to your home
WiFi network.
Step 1: Power up your EAGLE-200
a) Plug the AC adapter into a nearby wall outlet, and plug the other end into the
power socket on the EAGLE-200. It is important that only the included 5v
adapter is used to power your EAGLE-200. If another adapter is used, it may
cause permanent damage to the unit.
Do not plug in the Ethernet cable.
a) Allow three minutes for the device to boot up. You should see that 2 of the 5
status LED lights at the front of the EAGLE-200 are on continuously.

Step 2: Enable the WiFi radio
a) Your EAGLE-200 is shipped from the factory with the WiFi radio disabled. To
enable the WiFi radio, insert a pen or paperclip wire into the small hole
labeled “1” on the far left of the back of the EAGLE-200 and press and hold
the internal switch for 5 seconds.
b) It will take a minute for the WiFi radio to start up. Then you will see the center
status LED light at the front of the EAGLE-200 start flashing. This indicates
that the WiFi radio is active.
Step 3: Connect to WiFi
a) Now use your computer or phone equipped with WiFi to scan for WiFi access
points. In the list will be an entry for “eagle-xxxxxx (router)”, where xxxxxx is
the 6-digit Cloud ID for your EAGLE-200 (the Cloud ID can be found in the top
left corner of the device label). Click on this network to connect to it. When
prompted for the password, use the Install Code of the EAGLE-200 (Install
Code is a 16-digit hexadecimal number shown as “IN:” on the EAGLE-200
label).
b) After you are connected to the EAGLE-200 WiFi, enter the address
192.168.7.1 into your web browser. This will bring up the “Login” page.

EAGLE-200 Hardware Ports
On the back of the EAGLE-200 there are three interface ports and three switches.
From right to left, these are:
•Ethernet –The included Ethernet cable plugs into this socket. The other end of
the cable plugs into the local network router. This should be plugged in first
before plugging the power in.
•USB –This socket can be used to expand the functions of the EAGLE-200.
Nothing should be plugged into this socket.
•Power –The included AC power adapter connects to this standard micro-USB
socket. The other end of the adapter plugs into a nearby power outlet. It is
important that only the included 5v adapter is used to power the EAGLE-200. If
another adapter is used, it may cause permanent damage to the unit.
•Switch 3 –This switch should not be used.
•Switch 2 –this small hole provides access to a reset switch for the Zigbee
Endpoint radio. This switch should only be used under the direction of a
Rainforest support engineer, as it will cause the Zigbee radio to break its
connection to the meter, and will require re-provisioning by the utility.
•Switch 1 –this small hole provides access to a reset switch for the WiFi radio. If
you insert a pen or paperclip wire to press and hold the internal switch for 5
seconds, it will reset the WiFi radio, and put it in AP/Router Mode. If the switch is
briefly pressed and not held, it will toggle the WiFi radio On/Off.

Troubleshooting Guide
If you do not see your real-time meter data while you are logged in to your Cloud
Account, there are three likely causes:
1. The EAGLE-200 is not connected to the internet.
Check the LED lights:
•If you are using the Ethernet cable to connect to your router, then the
Ethernet light (second from the left) should be on and not blinking.
If the light is not on, check that the Ethernet cable is plugged in solidly to
both the router and the gateway. You can also try another port on the
router.
If the light is flashing, check to make sure that the gateway is connected to
a router, and not just a switch.
•If you are using WiFi to connect to your router, then the WiFi (center) light
should be on and not blinking.
If the light is not on or is flashing, you will have to reset the WiFi radio.
Follow the procedure in the “WiFi Setup”section of this manual.
•The Cloud light (second from the right) light should be on and not blinking.
If the light is flashing, you will need to reboot the EAGLE-200, as
described in item #3 below. If the Cloud light continues to flash after the
reboot, contact Rainforest Technical Support.
If the EAGLE-200 was previously connected and then subsequently stopped
communicating, then it is likely an intermittent internet outage. This may require
resetting your internet modem, or merely waiting. If this problem persists, then you
may need to reboot the EAGLE-200, as described in item #3 below.
2. The EAGLE-200 is not connected to the meter.
If the Zigbee radio connection to the meter is not active, then the EAGLE-200 will not
be receiving data to send up to the cloud. The wireless connection can be
intermittent if the EAGLE-200 is at the limit of the meter’s Zigbee radio range. This
range can be as much as 75 feet, but is diminished by walls and other obstructions
to the radio signal. It is best to position the gateway as close to the meter as
practical. This may involve using a longer Ethernet cable, or switching to a WiFi
connection to allow better placement of the gateway.
If the gateway is located close to the meter, and it still does not connect to the meter,
then gateway should be rebooted (see item #3 below). If this does not work, then a
request will have to be sent to the utility to re-provision the meter. The procedure for

EAGLE-200™
User Manual
20
this will depend upon the utility, but in most cases the request will have to come from
the utility account holder. Prior to the re-provision request, the Zigbee radio should
be factory reset. Please contact Rainforest Technical Support for assistance with
this.
3. The EAGLE-200needs to be rebooted.
To reboot the EAGLE-200 gateway, unplug the power cord, wait 10 seconds, and
plug it back in again. Allow three minutes for the gateway to boot up.
