II. HOW YOUR GATEWAY WORKS
Your ALTA Ethernet Gateway 4 manages communication between your sensors, iMonnit,
and network peers through the SNMP v1 and Modbus TCP protocols. When running, the
gateway will periodically transmit data on a heartbeat to the iMonnit servers. The gateway
will store information received from sensors until its next heartbeat.
The ALTA Ethernet Gateway 4 uses an Ethernet connection to relay data recieved from
sensors to iMonnit. Sensors communicate with the gateway, then the gateway relays
information to the cloud.
For your wireless sensors to work optimally, orient all antennas for your sensor(s) and
gateway(s) the same direction (typically vertical). Keep the gateway and sensors at least
three feet apart in order to function properly.
