2 Configuration
2.1 Overview
This section describes how to connect to the Emerson
™
Wireless 1420 Gateway (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 Commissioning for more information.
