To setup the host computer for direct communications with the gateway, the host computer IP
address must be changed so that it has the same subnet as the gateway. The gateway subnet in the
example above is the first three sets of numbers in the IPaddress (192.168.0). The last set of
numbers (100 in the example) will be the unique identifier for each device on the network (the
gateway, computer, and other devices will each have a different number).
To change the IP address on a computer with a Window operating system, try the following steps:
1. Find the active Local Area Connection. Go to the Control Panel, and click on the Network
Connections folder.
2. Right-click on the active Local Area Connection, and select properties.
3. Scroll down, and double-click on Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
4. In the window select Use the Following IPAddress.
5. Enter the subnet into the field entitled IP Address, and add a fourth number. It can be any
number between 0 and 255, except the number that the gateway or any other device on the
network is using.
6. In the Subnet Mask field, enter 255.255.255.0.
7. Save and exit the menus. Setup is complete.
J1939: The J1939 CAN output allows sensor data to be pushed out to a user-designed J1939 CAN
bus through the WSDA-2000 multi-port connector. For more information
see CAN J1939 Output
on page 22
. The default setting is for the J1939 output to be enabled.
SensorCloud: The SensorCloud™ feature allows enabling and disabling of the transmission of
sensor data from the gateway internal memory to the web-based SensorCloud™ database. It also
allows remote access to the gateway Control Panel through Live Connect (
see Remote
Connectivity on page 44
). When enabled the gateway will upload newly received data to
SensorCloud™ at two minute intervals. In other words, it will transmit new data, wait two minutes,
and then transmit any additional new data. The overall transmission time varies with sampling
settings, quantity of data, and internet connection speeds.
