2 SAFETY GUIDELINES
Please read the following safety guidelines carefully! In case of property or personal
da age by not paying attention to this anual and/or by incorrect handling, we do not
assu e liability. In such cases any warranty clai expires.
• The power supply should be in immediate proximity to the device.
• The power supply must provide a stable output voltage between 11 – 28 VDC. The out-
put power should be at least 2.5 W.
• Please pay attention that the power cord or other cables are not squeezed or damaged
in any way when you set up the device.
• Do NOT turn on the power supply while connecting any cables, especially the power
cables. This could cause damaged device components! First connect the cables and
THEN turn the power supply on.
• The installation of the device should be done only by qualified personnel.
• Discharge yourself electrostatic before you work with the device, e.g. by touching a
heater of metal, to avoid damages.
• Stay grounded while working with the device to avoid damage through electrostatic
discharge.
• The case of the device should be opened only by qualified personnel.

3 REQUIRED EQUIPMENT
To operate the IGW/9 6-L the following hardware is required:
• a valid SIM card with an appropriate mobile tariff. Please refer to chapter 4 to see how
the SIM card is inserted.
• one Ethernet cross-over cable or two Ethernet patch cables and a switch.
To configure the IGW/9 6-L a PC with the following features is required:
• Windows 7 or higher
• Web browser (e.g. Firefox, Chrome)
• Telnet/SSH client (e.g. TeraTerm)
• FTP client (e.g. FileZilla)
• 10/100 Mbps Ethernet network controller and TCP/IP configuration
• CD-ROM drive

4 SIM CARD
The internal SIM card of the IGW/9 6-L can be changed through the slot on the backside.
To insert the SIM card just push it by hand as deep as possible into the slot.
Please note:
Pay attention to the correct orientation of the SIM card like shown in fig. 1!
Then use a screw driver to push it gently further into the slot until you here a soft "click".
Figure 1: Inserting the SIM card
To remove the SIM card just push it gently with a screw driver until you hear a soft "click"
(see fig. 2). The SIM card is ejected a few millimeters and can be pulled out easily by hand.

5 CONNECTIONS
For a quick and easy start with the IGW/9 6-L there are a few cable connections necessary.
The following chapters describe how these connections have to be made.
5.1 LTE Antenna
Connect the LTE antenna with the IGW/9 6-L like shown in fig. 3 and place it where the LTE
signal strength is high.
Figure 3: Connecting the LTE antenna
Please note:
The best LTE signal strength is achieved by using two antennas. Please contact SSV if
you want to order a second LTE antenna.

5.2 Ethernet Link
The Ethernet link between the PC and LAN1 of the IGW/9 6-L can be made on two ways:
• Direct with an Ethernet cross-over cable like shown in fig. 4.
• With two standard Ethernet patch cables over a hub or switch like shown in fig. 5.
Figure 4: Ethernet link with cross-over cable
Please note:
For the Ethernet connection in fig. 4 it is absolutely required to use a cross-over ca-
ble. Do not use an ordinary patch cable. Ethernet patch and cross-over cables are in
most cases visual indistinguishable. But the internal wiring is fully different. Mixing
up these types of cables leads to LAN errors. Hence pay attention to the label of the
cable or packing.
Figure 5: Ethernet link with hub or switch
The IP address of the LAN1 interface is ex-factory set to 192.168.0.126.

5.3 Serial Ports COM2 and COM3
You can create an RS485 serial link on port COM2 and COM of the IGW/9 6-L.
An RS2 2 serial link is only possible on port COM .

Please note:
The RS485 (officially called TIA/EIA-485-A) connection between your IGW/9 6-L and
the field devices needs termination resistors on both ends for proper operation. The
IGW/9 6-L does not offer internal ter ination resistors. Please make sure, that the
RS485 cable connection is equipped with external termination resistors.

5.4 Power S pply
The IGW/9 6-L needs a supply voltage of 11 – 28 VDC to work.
Connect the cables of an appropriate power supply to provide the system with the neces-
sary power like shown in fig. 7.

CAUTION!
Providing the IGW/9 6-L with a higher voltage than the regular 11 – 28 VDC could cause
damaged device components!
Do NOT turn on the power supply while connecting it with the IGW/9 6-L. This could cause
damaged device components! First connect the power supply and THEN turn it on.

6 OPERATION
6.1 Booting the IGW/936-L
Just power up the IGW/9 6-L and the boot process starts immediately. The IGW/9 6-L
boots thereby an embedded Linux out of its Flash memory. This may take up to one mi-
nute.
6.2 Accessing the SSV/WebUI
To open the login page of the SSV/WebUI enter the ex-factory IP address and port number
of LAN1 of the IGW/9 6-L manually in a web browser:
http://192.168.0.126:7777
Enter the username ad in and the password ssvad in and click on [Login].

6.3 Accessing the SSV/WebUI with DHCP enabled
If the automatic IP address configuration of LAN1 via DHCP is enabled, you have to check
the assigned IP address, which is necessary to access the IGW/9 6-L via a Telnet client or a
web browser.
Therefore open in Windows Control Panel > Network and Internet > View network co -
puters and devices. The IGW/9 6-L should show up in this list.
Figure 9: Selecting the IGW/936-L
Just right-click on the IGW/9 6-L to open the properties dialog, where you can see the cur-
rent IP address of the IGW/9 6-L like shown in fig. 10.
A double-click on the IGW/9 6-L opens the SSV/WebUI in a web browser.
Please note:
To access the SSV/WebUI, it is important to add the port number 7777 to the cur-
rent IP address of the IGW/9 6-L, e.g.: http://192.168.0.126:7777!

6.9 Access via Telnet
To access the IGW/9 6-L via Telnet please open a Telnet client program (like TeraTer ) on
your host PC and enter the current IP address* of the IGW/9 6-L to activate a Telnet ses-
sion.
In the upcoming Telnet window you can login with the username root and the password
root.
Now you can enter any Linux commands, which will be executed by the IGW/9 6-L operat-
ing system.
Figure 16: Access via Telnet client
*Please note:
The ex-factory IP address of the LAN1 interface is 192.168.0.126. If DHCP is ena-
bled, please refer to chapter 6.3 to find out the current IP address.

6.10 Access via FTP
The IGW/9 6-L comes with a pre-installed FTP server, which allows the file transfer via
Ethernet between a PC and the IGW/9 6-L. To access the IGW/9 6-L via FTP use an FTP cli-
ent like e.g. FileZilla.
Figure 17: FileZilla as FTP client to access the FTP server
Use for the FTP login the current IP address* of the IGW/9 6-L, the username root and the
password root. With this login you have FTP read/write permission in the file system.
The default setting of the root file system after the boot process is read-only. There are on-
ly three exceptions, which are shown in table 5:
Directory
Remark
/flash
R/W directory, non
-
volatile memory within Flash
/home/root
R/W directory, RAM disk, volatile memory
/var/volatile
R/W directory,
RAM disk, volatile memory
Table 5: R/W directories in the file syste
The read-only restriction protects all files of the file system. Under ordinary operating con-
ditions it is not possible to overwrite or delete a file which is necessary for the eSOM/ 517
within the IGW/9 6-L.
