2.1 Overview
This section describes how to connect to the Gateway for the first time and what settings should
be configured before placing it on a live control network. It is important to note that some
Gateways are used in stand-alone applications and do not reside on a network. In these cases, it
is still important to configure the items outlined in this section.
Before the Gateway can be permanently mounted and connected to a live control network, it
needs to be configured with an IP address. This is done by forming a private network between
the gateway and a PC/laptop. The following items are needed to complete this section:
Gateway
PC/laptop
24 VDC (nominal) power supply
Note
If the Gateway was ordered with the DeltaV
™
Ready option, it has been configured to operate on
a DeltaV control network, and the Initial Configuration Section does not need to be completed.
Only setting the password is required.
2.2 System requirements
The following requirements apply to the PC/laptop used to configure the Gateway. Additional
requirements may apply if using the optional Security Setup Utility or AMS
®
Wireless
Configurator. See Section 4: Commissioning for more information.
