Hardware Platforms
The 460 Product Line supports a number of different hardware platforms. There are differences in how
they are powered, what serial settings are supported, and some diagnostic features supported (such as
LEDs). For these sections, be sure to identify the hardware platform you are using.
To find which hardware platform you are using:
1) Look on the front or back label of the unit for the part number.
2) On the webpage inside the gateway, navigate to the dropdown menu under Other and select
Utilities. Click the Listing of Revisions button. The full part number is displayed here.
Once you have the full part number, the platform will be the number following the “-N”:

Accessing the Main Page
The following steps will help you access the browser based configuration of the gateway. By default,
DHCP is enabled. If the gateway fails to obtain an IP address over DHCP it will Auto IP with 169.254.X.Y.
For more information on your Operating system network setting refer to the Accessing Browser
Configuration document from our support web site.
1) Scan the QR code on the back of the unit or navigate to www.rtautomation.com/460-gateway-support
and download IPSetup.exe.
2) Run the IPSetup.exe program.
3) Find unit under “Select a Unit”.
a. Change Gateway’s IP address to match that of your PC if DHCP has failed.
i. You will know DHCP has failed if the gateway’s IP address is AutoIP at 169.254.X.Y.
ii. If successful, it will say DHCP’d at ex: 192.168.0.100 or however your DCHP Client is set up.
b. If you do not see the gateway in this tool, then your PC is most likely set up as a static IP.
i. Change your PC’s network settings to be DHCP. If DHCP fails, then it will change to be on the
169.254.x.y network.
ii. Relaunch the IP Setup tool to see if gateway can be discovered now.
4) Click Launch Webpage. The Main page should appear.
Default setting is set to DHCP. If DHCP fails, default IP Address is 169.254.x.y

Error: Main Page Does Not Launch
If the Main Page does not launch, please verify the following:
1) Check that the PC is set for a valid IP Address
a. Open a MS-DOS Command Prompt
b. Type “ipconfig” and press enter
c. Note the PC’s IP Address, Subnet, and Default Gateway
2) The gateway must be on the same Network/Subnet as the PC whether it’s setup for DHCP or Static.
Once you have both devices on the same network, you should be able to ping the gateway using a MS-
DOS Command Prompt.
The Screenshot above shows a gateway that is currently set to a static IP Address of 192.168.0.100.
If you are able to successfully ping your gateway, open a browser and try to view the main page of the
gateway by entering the IP Address of the gateway as the URL.

Committing Changes to the Settings
All changes made to the settings of the gateway in Configuration Mode will not take effect until the
gateway is restarted via the webpage. Changes will not be stored if the gateway’s power is removed
prior to a reboot.
NOTE: The gateway does not need to be restarted after every change. Multiple changes can be made
before a restart, but they will not be committed until the gateway is restarted.
When all desired changes have been made, press the Restart Now button.
The webpage will redirect to our rebooting page shown below:
The reboot can take up to 20 seconds.
If the IP address has not been modified, the gateway will automatically redirect to the main page.
If the IP address was modified, a message will appear at the top of the page to instruct the user to
manually open a new webpage at that new IP.

Main Page
The main page is where important information about your gateway and its connections are displayed.
Mode (orange box below):
Running Mode:
•Protocol communications are enabled
•Configuration cannot be changed during Running Mode. If changes are needed, click the
Configuration Mode button shown in the green box below
Configuring Mode:
•Protocol communication is stopped and no data is transmitted
•Configuration is allowed
Navigation (green box below):
You can easily switch between modes and navigate between pages (Configuration, Diagnostics, and
Other pages) using the buttons on the left hand side.

Device Configuration
The device configuration area is where you assign the device description parameter. Changes can only
be made when the gateway is in Configuration Mode.
Once you are done configuring the Description, click the Save Parameters button.

Network Configuration
The network configuration area is where you assign the IP address and other network parameters.
Changes can only be made when the gateway is in Configuration Mode.
Once you are done configuring the Network Settings, click the Save Parameters button.
If you are changing the IP Address of the gateway, the change will not take effect until the unit has been
rebooted. After reboot, you must enter the new IP Address into the URL.
It is recommended to leave the DNS Gateway set to 0.0.0.0 and the Ethernet Link as
Auto-Negotiate. If configuring the gateway to use E-mail, the DNS Gateway must be
set.

BACnet MS/TP Subordinate Configuration
Click the BACnet MS/TP Subordinate button to access the primary configuration page for this device.
1) Enter a Device Label. This is an internal device alias used during data mapping.
2) Serial Port: Select which serial port is being used for communication. This port must be
configured on the Port Configuration page. If it has not yet been configured, it will display
Disabled after the Port descriptions in this dropdown.
3) Enter a unique MAC ID for the gateway. This MAC ID must be unique on the BACnet MS/TP
network.
4) Max Master: Enter the maximum MAC ID that the gateway will communicate with on the
BACnet MS/TP network. This value should be equal or greater than the largest MAC ID on the
MS/TP network.
5) Enter a unique Instance identifier for the gateway. This value must be unique across the BACnet
network.
6) Inactivity Timeout: Enter the amount of time, in milliseconds, the gateway should wait before a
timeout state is declared. If the BACnet MS/TP Manager does not initiate communication within
this time frame the BACnet MS/TP LED will flash red and the timeout counter will increment.
Enter zero to disable this feature.
7) Enter a Name, Description and Location for the gateway. These are used to identify the gateway
on the BACnet MS/TP network.
8) Bit Pack: Select the formatting of the Binary Input/Output. Automap will use this packing size to
map binary objects to/from the other protocol.
NOTE: For optimal performance, the MAC IDs on the BACnet MS/TP network should be sequential,
starting from 0. The Max Master should be set to the highest MAC ID on the BACnet MS/TP network.
