2.3 GATEWAY CONFIGURATIONS
Off-Site/Remote Access
The Connect Gateway is installed on a computer with internet access at a remote site and the user
works with the data remotely using VPN access to the computer.
General
Ideally a Tinytag Connect Gateway should be left running continuously to allow it to collate data
from loggers as it is being recorded. No measurements will be lost if the computer is shut down for
up to 2 weeks (if using the default 10 minute logging interval the loggers are set for when supplied),
however this will affect battery life and there will be a delay in displaying new measurements, due to
the need to collect the saved data, when the system is restored. If a Connect Gateway is shut down, it
will determine what data a logger holds that it hasn’t stored and arrange for it to be transmitted (this
ensures that no data is permanently lost).
For best performance, ensure the Autostart service when the computer is turned on box is checked
when setting up a Gateway (this should already be selected on new installations). This ensures that the
Tinytag Connect Gateway will start running as soon as a computer is turned on; reducing the delay in
fetching the data the gateway hasn’t downloaded. Enabling this option also ensures a Tinytag Connect
system will start running again in the event of a power cut.
