Conext Gateway Installation
Types of Conext Gateway Networks
The Conext Gateway can interface with different LAN devices using wired or wireless
connections, so you can configure your Xanbus devices and monitor your power system
performance.
n Conext Gateway on Xanbus (two separate networks can be supported)
n Conext Gateway on Modbus (via the 26-pin connector)
n Conext Gateway on Local Area Network (LAN, via Ethernet or Wi-Fi)
When the Conext Gateway is part of a LAN, you can access the Conext Gateway
web user interface from a computer on the same LAN via a wireless or wired LAN
connection.
An Ethernet connection is required between the Conext Gateway and a router and
computer for configuring the Conext Gateway.
Power Sources for the Conext Gateway
The Conext Gateway consumes an average of 2 W under most operating conditions and
up to 10 W maximum. The power sources connected to the Conext Gateway must be
capable of providing this power requirement.
There are three power sources for the Conext Gateway:
n AC/DC power adapter (supplied)
n Xanbus-enabled device via CAT5 or CAT5e cable (Xanbus cable)
n 9–24 V DC power input connections on the 26-pin connector
All three sources can be used alone or simultaneously. Typically, the AC/DC power
adapter (supplied) is used as a primary source with either a Xanbus connection or the 26-
pin connector as secondary sources. See "Physical Features" on page13 for connection
locations.
DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK AND FIRE
Connect only to Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) circuits and power sources.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) is a designation that refers to a circuit in which the
voltages within the circuit and from the circuit to ground have values that are not a shock
hazard, under both normal and single fault conditions.
