3.2.5 Configure Gateways (Task 4)
The Gateway can be configured to work as a standalone device for
use with the Wi-Q AMS Software or for use with the LP4502 Control-
ler Board and third-party Access Control Software. The WQXM-PG
model Gateways come equipped with a Wi-Fi radio and Ethernet
connection. This Wi-Fi radio is used to configure the Gateway and
the Ethernet connection is for communication on the customer’s
network. The Wi-Fi connection cannot be used to wirelessly connect
the Gateway to a customer network for use with the Access Control
Software.
The WQXM-PG Gateway’s Wi-Fi network reserves the 192.168.3.xxx
IP address space. When a device is connected to the Gateway’s
wireless network, it allows the device browser to connect to the
Gateway via the default IP address, 192.168.3.200. Because, the
Gateway’s wireless network is locked down to the 192.168.3 IP ad-
dress space, the hard-wired Ethernet IPv4 configuration cannot use
this IP scheme for a local closed network. The 3rd octet of the IPv4
LAN connection must be something other than 3.
For example: Use 192.168.2.100, where 2 instead of 3 is used in
the address’s 3rd octet, when assigning an IP address to the Ether-
net adapter on the Gateway if a Class C IPv4 network is in use.
3.2.5.1 Access the Gateway’s Wireless Network
The WQXM-PG Gateway is equipped with a wireless network used to
access the Gateway and configure it. The portal default IP address
on this network is 192.168.1.200. To temporarily enable the portal’s
wireless network for configuration, do the following:
• Push the Wi-Fi enable button on the side of the WQXM-PG
Wi-Q Gateway. See figure 9.
