2.3 GATEWAY CONFIGURATIONS
2.3 Gateway Configurations
Introduction
There are two types of Connect Gateway; a Master Gateway, which runs a system, and a Slave Gateway,
which can be setup to forward data to a Master Gateway from another computer.
Every system must have a Master Gateway, but Slave Gateways are optional and are generally used to
make a system more flexible.
Slave Gateways
Slave Gateways are typically used where:
• Data is being collected from more than one site that are all connected on the same company LAN.
For example, a company may have three sites; a head office and two satellite sites, and monitoring
is required at all three. In this example, it is preferable to have a Master Gateway running on a
server at the head office, with a computer at each satellite site running a Slave Gateway. The Slave
Gateways then forward data from their local networks onto the Master Gateway, allowing anyone
running Tinytag Explorer Connect to see data from all three sites.
• If USB receivers are being used, they have to be plugged directly into a computer and that computer
has to run a Slave Gateway to get the data back to the system’s Master Gateway.
