Conguring the Communications Gateway
Logging on to the Communications Gateway
The communications gateway is accessed via a Web browser interface. Connect a personal
computer (PC) with a CAT5 Ethernet cable to the communications gateway’s Ethernet Port
1. See Figure 4 on page 10. The default conguration of the communications gateway’s IP
gateway is 192.168.1.1 with DHCP set as “On.” To join the communications gateway network,
set the PC’s network address to “Obtain an IP Address Automatically” and “Obtain DNS
Server Address Automatically” under the PC’s LAN address settings to enable a network
connection to the communications gateway. Alternately, a static IP address within the
192.168.1.x network may be used. See Figure 9.
Note: To remove Windows routing conflicts, S&C recommends turning the PC’s Wi-Fi
radio off.
Figure 9. Setting a static IP address on the PC to connect to the communications gateway.
After allowing approximately 3 minutes for the gateway to boot, a confirmation the PC
has successfully joined the communications gateway network may be observed by launching
an MSDOS command window and running ‘ipconfig /all’ at the command prompt. An output
showing all the IP interfaces for the host system will be displayed. Identify the Ethernet
interface that has the cabled connection to communications gateway Ethernet Port 1 and
examine the output for that interface. Screen information for the interface supporting a
successful connection when using DHCP will resemble what’s shown in Figure 10.
Figure 10. A successful ipconfig/all reply from the Command prompt.
Software User’s
Guide

18 S&C Instruction Sheet 461-519
Conguring the Communications Gateway
Note: If the interface indicates “media disconnected,” this is an indication the Ethernet
connection between the host PC and the communications gateway is not functional,
and it should be investigated.
NOTICE
Because the end user can change the IP address range, or even disable DHCP
completely and change the communications gateway to a static IP, it is important
to make a note of any IP settings changes. When relocating or setting up a
communications gateway that has had its IP settings changed, look for the IP setting
configured by your service or IT department when running ipconfig/all from the
MSDOS command line.
With the CAT5 Ethernet cable attached to communications gateway’s Ethernet
Port 1, launch a Web browser on the PC. Type 192.168.1.1 in the browser’s address line.
(Browsers supported include Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Microsoft Edge.)
The Communications Gateway Login screen will open with a username and password
challenge. See Figure 11.
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/.
Figure 11. The Communications Gateway Login screen.
NOTICE
With communications gateway firmware version 3.1 and later, the default password
for the Admin user must be changed before proceeding. See Figure 12 on page 18.
The new non-default password must be at least eight characters with at least one
uppercase and one lowercase character. Numbers and special characters are also
allowed but not required. <Space>, <Tab>, and <&> characters are not allowed.
Do not lose this password. There is no way to recover a lost password in the field.
A lost password will require returning the gateway controller module to S&C for
re-initialization.

After a successful login, the browser will open to the communications gateway
General Status screen with an application Navigation menu on the left side of the screen.
The Navigation menu will remain visible for all subordinate menu interface screens.
See Figure 14 on page 20.
The communications gateway is shipped congured to use the DNP3 communication
protocol by default. Before starting to congure the communications gateway, S&C
recommends rst switching to the IEC 60870-5-104 or “IEC104” protocol. To switch to
the IEC104 protocol:
STEP 1. Select “Gateway Settings” from the Navigation menu.
STEP 2. Scroll down to the SCADA Protocol panel. Click on the IEC104 radio button.
See Figure 13.
STEP 3. Scroll up to the top of the screen and click the Save button.

NOTICE
Simultaneous access to the Web-user interface by multiple users is not officially
supported. If it is desired to have multiple users logged in simultaneously, S&C strongly
recommends only one of those users be assigned the Admin role. S&C also strongly
recommends only one of those users modify settings on the gateway. The other
users should be performing read-only activities. Also, if two users are sharing a single
username and the users attempt to log in at the same time, the older session will be
silently logged out.
The purpose of the General Status screen is informational and for display only. No edits are
allowed. Field edits will be permissible under respective menu sections where each eld’s
purpose is dened.
The General Status screen is comprised of the “Gateway Identity,” “GPS,” “Gateway LAN,”
“Gateway WAN,” “Gateway Hardware,” and “SCADA Communication” panels. The “Gateway
Identity” panel contains five fields: Gateway Name, Gateway Serial #, Gateway Software
Version, Gateway App Version, and Gateway Platform Version. The “GPS” panel contains
five fields: Status, Time Since Last GPS Fix, Location, Satellites (In Use), and System
Time. The “Gateway LAN” and “Gateway WAN” panels contain three fields each: Link
Status, IP Address, and Netmask. The “Gateway Hardware” panel contains four fields:
Battery Present, Battery Health, Battery Voltage (Volts), and Door Status. The “SCADA
Communication” panel contains the IEC 104 Communication Status field. See Figure 15.
