IV.  Installation and Configuration 

System Requirements 

You must meet the following requirements to install and configure the MicroGate™: 

 

Static IP address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address to assign the 
MicroGate™ 

 

A computer equipped with a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 10/100 Mbps Fast 
Ethernet Card, or USB-to-Ethernet converter. Computer must have TCP/IP 
protocols installed and have a fixed (static) or dynamic IP Address assigned to 
it.  

 

MicroGate Discovery Utility CD (might be bundled with Raptor Web 
Software™ CD) 

 

Network Cable connecting MicroGate™ directly to the computer (use a 
Crossover type cable, see 

Table 11

), or network cable connecting to the same 

hub/switch that the computer is connected to (use Straight-Through type 
cable, see 

Table 10

). 

 

+5VDC Power Supply with mating connector 

 

Serial cable connecting your device(s) to one of the serial ports (see 

Table 5

Table 6

, and 

Table 7

Connect the System 

The MicroGate™ can be placed at any convenient location in the kitchen or office. 
No special cooling requirements are needed, but you should keep the MicroGate™ 
away from any heating device, dusty or wet environments. If the MicroGate™ needs 
to operate in a dusty or wet environment, it should be placed in a NEMA box. Make 
sure to disconnect the power, remove the power cord from the outlet, and keep your 
hands dry when handling the MicroGate™. 

Basic Installation Procedure 

1.

 

Connect an Ethernet Cable from the MicroGate™ to one of the following: 

a.

 

Ethernet Port on computer using a Crossover type cable (see 

Table 11

b.

 

Ethernet Port on hub, switch, or router using a Straight-Through type 
cable (see 

Table 10

2.

 

Connect a serial cable from your device(s) to one of the serial ports on the 
MicroGate (see 

Table 5

Table 6

, and 

Table 7

 for pin assignments) 

3.

 

Connect the power cable to the MicroGate (see 

Table 3

 or 

Table 4

4.

 

Plug the other side of the power cable to a +5VDC source, or to a wall outlet 
if you are using a cable with power supply 

5.

 

Verify that DS1(Link) and DS4(Power) LEDs are on (see 

Table 2

6.

 

After approximately 30 seconds, verify that DS3 (Heartbeat) LED is flashing
