Gateway Controller Specifications

S&C Instruction Sheet 461-512LD 7
Hardware
Antenna Specifications
The gateway controller is professionally installed
equipment. The radio frequency (RF) output power does
not exceed the maximum limit allowed in the country of
operation.
CAUTION
Unauthorized antenna, modifications, or attachments
may damage the gateway controller, violate
regulations, or cause minor injury.
Note: Use only the supplied or an equivalent replace-
ment antenna.
Note: Any modification to the controller or use of an
unauthorized antenna not expressly approved by S&C
Electric Company is the sole responsibility of the user,
configurator, or operator. Any modification or use of
an unauthorized antenna must reassess the equipment
in accordance with all applicable international safety,
EMC, and RF standards. Authorized antennas are listed
as follows:
Mobile Broadband (SMA male):
Frequency Type Avg. Gain (dBi) Peak Gain (dBi)
2200 – 2483 1.5 4
GPS: Monopole (SMA male):
Frequency Type Avg. Gain (dBi) Peak Gain (dBi)
1571 - 1578 28 -
1601 – 1603 28 -
Connecting to the Gateway Controller
Complete the following steps to connect to the gateway
controller:
STEP 1. Connect the four-pin ac power cable to the
gateway controller. Plug in the gateway
controller to a 120-Vac outlet.
STEP 2. Connect an Ethernet cable to Ethernet 1 on the
gateway controller. Connect the other end to the
Ethernet port on a personal computer (PC).
Note: The gateway controller will take between 5 and 15
minutes to fully boot. After powering the gateway con-
troller, wait at least five minutes before trying to log in
to the controller.

Logging in to a TripSaver II Gateway
Controller
Complete the following steps to log in to the controller:
STEP 1. The communication gateway software is stored
onboard the gateway controller and is accessed
using a Web-browser interface. The default
conguration of the gateway controller’s IP
gateway is 192.168.1.1 with DHCP set as “On.” To
join the gateway controller’s network, set the
PC’s network address to “Obtain an IP Address
Automatically”and “ObtainDNSServer Address
Automatically” under the PC’s LAN address
settings to enable a network connection to the
gateway controller. Alternately, a static IP
address within the 192.168.1.x network may be
used.
STEP 2. Allow approximately 5 minutes for the
communication gateway to boot. Conrm the
PC has successfully joined the communication
gateway network by launching an MSDOS
command prompt and issuing a ping 192.168.1.1-t
command. A MSDOS ping “Reply” message will
display, conrming the connection between the
PC and communication gateway is active.

STEP 3. With the CAT5 cable attached to the gateway
controller’s Ethernet Port 1, launch a Web
browser on the PC. In the URL address line, type
the gateway controller default IP address of
192.168.1.1 and press the <Return> key.
(Browser versions supported include Google
Chrome and Internet Explorer.) The Login
screen will open with a username and password
challenge.
Note: The default username and password
can be requested from S&C by calling the Global
Support and Monitoring Center at 888-762-1100
or by contacting S&C through the S&C Customer
Portal at sandc.com/en/support/sc-customer-
portal/.
STEP 4. After a successful login, the browser will open
the communication gateway General Status
screen with an application navigation menu on
the left side. The Navigation menu will remain
visible for all subordinate menu-interface
screens. When logging in for the rst time, users
will be sent to the Prole screen and be
prompted to change the default password.
