Cellular signal strength updates
There are three transmission options for these RGX Gateway – iNet communications: wireless local area
network (wi-fi), cellular, and Ethernet. The customer sets each option to on or off, allowing the RGX to
maximize or to limit the number of channels through which it can exchange data with iNet. When more than
one transmission option is on, the customer prioritizes the order in which the unit will use them. For
example, if wi-fi and cellular are on, the unit can be set to first use wi-fi and if that is not available, use
cellular.
The RGX
– iNet data exchanges are automatically encrypted using industry standard Transport Layer
Security (TLS 1.2).
Note : RGX Gateway – iNet communication does not apply to RGX units operating in LENS repeater mode
.
Location
The RGX Gateway is suitable for indoor or outdoor use in locations that meet the product's certified uses
and specifications
.
Indoor operation is suitable only when a unit's GPS location is not needed.
iAssign Beacon functionality
The RGX can function as an iAssign® Beacon. You must specify a site name via iNet or the RGX
Configuration Interface. Beacon range and access-level can be set via iNet. When an instrument enters or
leaves the range assigned to the RGX, the Beacon signal it transmits can:
•
Activate an instrument proximity alarm when the access level for an instrument’s current user
assignment is lower than the access-level setting assigned to the RGX.
•
Change an instrument's site assignment.
Always-On
An RGX Gateway can be set for “always - on” operation in iNet. Use this feature to prevent manual
shutdown attempts in the field. Units operating in this mode cannot be shut down and will ignore manual
shutdown attempts until this mode is deactivated.
