Connecting the PXG to a PC
The first step in commissioning is to connect a PC to the PXG so that you can access the PXG web interface. The
preferred method is to initially connect to the PXG via a USB cable. Some computers running Windows 8 and later
include a driver for such connections. If your machine is running a prior version of Windows or if it asks for a driver,
the section on connecting via the USB port provides instructions for downloading the driver from Eaton. If you can't
connect through the USB port, you can use a CAT5 Ethernet cable to connect your PC to the PXG. This method
relies on Zeroconf and establishing communication is more difficult and less reliable. Also, to initially connect
through the Ethernet port you must be directly connected via a cable. You can't connect this way via a LAN until you
configure the Ethernet settings.
Connecting With a USB Cable
You can initially connect the PXG to a PC via the USB A to USB mini-B cable shipped with the gateway. Before your
PC can connect to the gateway, you may first need to install the USB driver from Eaton. You'll need administrative
privilege on the PC in order to install the driver. Also, the USB cable must be connected. You can access the driver
