I. ABOUT THE GATEWAY
The Scigiene GEN 2” 4G Cellular Gateway uses 4G LTE CAT-M1/NB2 cellular technology to
control GEN 2 Wireless Sensor settings without additional IT infrastructure. All you need is a
power source and the Scigiene Premiere cloud platform to monitor your environment and
equipment using Scigiene’s industry- leading wireless devices.
The GEN 2 4G Cellular Gateway will communicate with GEN 2 Sensors and Scigiene
Premiere to deliver data and send alerts about various machine, equipment, or area
conditions.
The 4G Cellular Gateway and Scigiene Premiere work together to connect and configure
GEN 2 Sensor over the Internet and make their data accessible virtually anytime, anywhere.
The 4G Cellular Gateway provides the crucial link that connects GEN 2 Sensors to Scigiene
Premiere using 4G LTE CAT-M1/NB2 (4G Long-Term Evolution Category M1/NarrowBand-
Internet of Things (NB-4G Cellular) 2) cellular technology. The gateway is equipped with a
24-hour backup battery. GEN 2 Sensors will continue to communicate with Scigiene
Premiere via cellular transmission in the event of a power outage. Additionally, the cellular

II. HOW YOUR GATEWAY WORKS
Your GEN 2 4G Cellular Gateway manages communication between GEN 2 Sensors and
Scigiene Premiere. When running, the gateway will periodically transmit data on a Heartbeat (a
preset interval in minutes). The gateway will store data it received from sensors until its next
Heartbeat.
The GEN 2 4G Cellular Gateway is a cellular (LTE-M or CAT-M1) gateway. It uses its
connection to relay data received from sensors to Scigiene Premiere cloud-based software.
Sensors communicate with the gateway, then the gateway relays information to Scigiene
Premiere.
For your wireless sensors to work optimally, orient all antennas for your sensor(s) and
gateway(s) the same direction (typically vertical). Sensors must also be at least three feet away
from other sensors and the wireless gateway in order to function properly. See Figure 1.

II. GATEWAY SECURITY
The GEN 2 4G Cellular Gateway is designed and built to manage data from sensors monitoring
your environment and equipment securely. The same methods used by financial institutions to
transmit data are also used in Scigiene security infrastructure. The 4G Cellular Gateway’s
security features tamper-proof network interfaces, data encryption, and bank-grade security.
Scigiene’s proprietary sensor protocol uses low transmit power and specialized radio equipment
to share application data. Packet-level encryption and verification are vital in ensuring traffic isn't
altered between sensors and gateways. All data is transmitted securely from your devices, with
a best-in-class range and a power consumption protocol.
SENSOR COMMUNICATION SECURITY
Wireless devices listening on open communication protocols cannot eavesdrop on GEN 2
Sensors. Scigiene’s sensor-to-gateway implements Encrypt-RF'•. This creates a secure wireless
tunnel, generated using ECDH-256 (Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman) public key exchange to
develop a unique symmetric key between each pair of devices. Sensors and gateways use this
link-specific key to process packet-level data with hardware-accelerated 128-bit AES encryption.
This minimizes power consumption to optimize battery life. Thanks to this combination, Scigiene
offers robust bank-grade security at every level.
DATA SECURITY ON THE GATEWAY
The GEN 2 4G Cellular Gateway prevents prying eyes from accessing the data stored on the
sensors. The GEN 2 4G Cellular Gateway doesn't run on an off-the-shelf, multi- function
operating system. Instead, it runs a purpose-specific, real-time embedded state machine that
can't be hacked to run malicious processes. There are also no active interface listeners that can
be used to gain access to the device over the network. The fortified gateway secures data from
attackers and protects the gateway from becoming a relay for malicious programs.
SERVER COMMUNICATION SECURITY
Communication between your GEN 2 4G Cellular Gateway and Scigiene Premiere is secured by
packet-level encryption with Encrypt-RF •. Similar to the security between the sensors and the
gateway, the gateway and the server also establish a unique key using ECDH-256 for encrypting
data. The packet-level data is encrypted end to end, removing additional requirements to
configure specialized cellular VPNs for privacy. The gateway can still operate within a VPN if it is
present.

II. USING THE 4G Cellular GATEWAY
USING THE 4G Cellular GATEWAY
1. Attach the cellular and GEN 2 antennas to the back of the gateway at the locations depicted
in Figure 3.
2. Plug the power supply cord into an outlet.
3. Toggle the power switch on.
4. After the three LEDs switch to green, your network is ready to use.
UNDERSTANDING THE 4G Cellular GATEWAY LIGHTS
The gateway will enter three stages as it powers on:
Power-on stage: The gateway analyzes electronics and programming. The LEDs will flash
red and green, before turning green for two seconds. In case of a hardware failure, the
light sequence will repeat continually. Please contact technical support if the LEDs aren't
green after five minutes.
Connection stage: The gateway will attempt to start the cellular, gateway service, and
wireless network connections. See diagram below to decode the three LEDs and the
states the LEDs indicate.
Operational stage: If the Gateway Power Mode is set to "Forced High Power" or
"Standard Power" and Line Power is present, all of the LEDs will remain green while
powered externally, unless reporting activity on a connection or if there is an issue. If the
Gateway Power Mode is set to "Forced Low Power" or "Standard Power" without Line
Power being present, the gateway will only use the active light sequence when the
gateway is communicating to the server. Otherwise, the LEDs are powered off.

4G Cellular GATEWAY SETTINGS (SCIGIENE PREMIERE)
The 4G Cellular Gateway will receive data from all sensors assigned to the network and within range,
then return this data to the server in a series of Heartbeats.
You can access gateway settings by selecting “Gateways” in the main navigation panel. Choose the
4G Cellular Gateway from the list of gateways registered to your account. Select the “Settings” tab to
edit the gateway.
General Settings
A. The Gateway Name field is where
you assign your gateway a unique title.
By default, the gateway name will be
the type followed by the Device ID.
B. The Heartbeat Minutes configures the
interval that the gateway periodically checks
in with the server. The default is fifteen
minutes, meaning the gateway will report to
the server every fifteen minutes.
C. On Aware Messages configuration
indicates if the Aware Message arrival event
will Trigger Heartbeat (default) or Wait for
Heartbeat. When the switch is toggled to
Trigger Heartbeat, the gateway is
configured to immediately report to the
server. When toggled to Wait for Heartbeat,
the message is
stored until the gateway is scheduled to communicate before connecting with the server and
delivering the message.
D. On Server Loss configuration indicates if the wireless network on the gateway will stay active
and Log Sensor Data (default) or if the gateway will Disable Wireless network. In networks with
multiple gateways, forcing the sensors to switch to an active gateway will enable more timely
delivery of data to the server.
E. The Gateway Power Mode allows you to choose between Standard Power (default), Force
Low Power, and Force High Power, from a drop-down menu. Standard means that your gateway
will keep lights and cellular transmission active when plugged into an outlet. On battery power,
the gateway will power down lights and the cellular connection between communications. Force
Low Power means your gateway will always power down the lights and the cellular connection
when not talking to the server. Force High Power means your gateway will always keep the
lights and cellular transmission active, regardless of whether or not the gateway is plugged in.
Note:Whensettingupthegateway,initialtowerconnectionsmaytake
2-20 minutes depending on the carrier/SIM specific setup and the
number of cellular bands enabled. Subsequent connections are
typically faster.

Ethernet Settings (future capability)
Choose the Ethernet Settings tab under Settings to open up the configuration page for the Local
Area Network (LAN). The LAN is used for local configuration options when server connectivity is
not possible. This page includes the ability to switch your network Internet Protocol (IP) Address
from DHCP assigned to Static. A DHCP assigned address will be the default network IP
Address.
To change your IP Address to a Static IP, navigate to the network IP option and switch it from
DHCP to Static. Then input your data for the Static IP, Network Mask, Default Gateway, and
Default DNS Server.
Static IP - A static IP Address is a numerical sequence assigned to a computer by a network
administrator. This is different from a Dynamic IP Address. A Static IP doesn't periodically
change and remains constant.
Network Mask - Also known as a “subnet mask,” this number hides the network half of an IP
Address. The most common Network Mask number is 255.255.255.0.
Default Gateway - This is the forwarding host the gateway utilizes to relay data to the Internet.
Typically, your router IP Address.
Default DNS Server - DNS Servers take alphanumerical data (like a URL address) and
return the IP Address for the server containing the information you’re looking for.

Cellular Settings
A. The Global System for Mobile Communications utilizes a 15-digit IMSI (International Mobile
Subscriber Identity) number as the primary mode to identify the country, mobile network, and
subscriber. It is formatted as MCC-MNC-MSIN. MCC is the Mobile Country Code. MNC is the
Mobile Network Code attached to the cellular network. MSIN is a serial number making the IMSI
unique to a subscriber.
B. The ICCID is the 19-digit unique identification number corresponding to the cellular SIM card.
It is possible to change the information contained on a SIM (including the IMSI), but the identity
of the SIM remains the same.
C. IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) is a number exclusive to your LTE International
Gateway to identify the gateway to the cell tower. The Global System for the Mobile
Communications network stores the IMEI numbers in their database (EIR - Equipment Identity
Register) containing all valid cellular equipment.
Figure 8
D. Carrier Preference permits the selection of Auto (default) or Manual. Auto permits the
gateway to use standard gateway SIM identification rules to automatically preconfigure the
gateway’s cellular service. If the Auto setting is successful or a non-supported carrier SIM is
used, selecting Manual in the drop-sown menu results in an additional field for the Carrier APN,
drop-down menu for the SIM authentication type, and selection boxes for the selection of which
of the carrier bands to activate to M Enabled or NB Enabled, as shown in Figure 9.
