Introduction
The Mobile Access Portal (MAP) Gateway is an alternate local display solution or a temporary
portable commissioning device that enables you to leverage the power of mobility using smart
phones, tablets, or laptop computers to interact with building automation equipment controls. The
MAP Gateway serves up web pages through a built-in Wi-Fi access point or a tethered Ethernet
connection, which allows users to view and edit equipment controller configuration parameters,
setpoints, schedules, and alarms through a browser. Your mobile device does not require an
application to use the MAP Gateway.
The MAP Gateway can interact with field controllers on several different systems including Metasys,
Facility Explorer, and BCPro. The MAP Gateway can also talk to Smart Equipment rooftop units with
unit control boards (UCBs). The MAP Gateway also supports the TEC3000 Series Thermostats.
The wireless connection on the MAP Gateway facilitates a supported mobile device to be up to 30
m (100 ft, line of sight) away indoors and up to 91 m (300 ft, line of sight) away outdoors. Power
can be supplied through the SAB (sensor/actuator bus), the FCB (field controller bus), a supplied
external power supply, or a micro USB port.
The MAP Gateway comes in two configurations: a portable configuration and a stationary
configuration. Configuration is chosen at purchase, and the accessories shipped with the MAP
Gateway depend on the configuration chosen.
When used as a portable device, the MAP Gateway can be attached to a lanyard. In this
configuration, the MAP Gateway can be carried from site to site, depending on the needs and
workflow of field personnel.
When used as a stationary device, the MAP Gateway can be permanently mounted directly to a wall
or DIN rail using the supplied MAP Gateway mounting cradle.
