Setup
The Gateway-in-a-Stick requires an initial configuration over RS-232 using the SignalFire Toolkit.
Connect a USB-Serial cable (can be purchased from SignalFire) between a computer and the
Gateway’s DB9 port.
The following items must be configured to set up a SignalFire network:
-
Radio Network
-
Radio Network Group
-
Corporate ID/Encryption Key
The standard SignalFire Connector-Breakout-Board (CBB), pictured below, provides an easy means to connect
to the RS232 lines and power the device while configuring the system. Note that the signal strength LEDs do
not light at the gateway as multiple nodes with varying signal strength may be connected at one time.
Optional Ethernet Gateway Connections
When used with a SignalFire Ethernet Interface Module, the 6 wires should be connected to the color coded
“Gateway Stick Connection” connector on the Ethernet Interface Module. Power can be supplied either to the
Power Input terminals on the Ethernet Interface Module or via power over Ethernet (PoE). For more information
on configuring and using the Ethernet Interface Module, please consult the Ethernet Interface Module manual.
