 Workflow

Convert to Static Addressing
  1. Add all DLGW3’s to mapfile via serial number.
  2. Connect a micro USB cable to the USB port of the computer running Commissioner. Connect the micro USB cable to the micro USB port of the DLGW3.
  3. Connect the PoE port of the DLGW3 to a PoE switch or other "live" ethernet connection.
  4. In Commissioner, click the Map menu and select Set Gateway 3 IP Addresses....
  5. Once the Gateway 3 Addressing dialog is opened, the tool will auto-discover the connected DLGW3.

  6. Select the option to Use Static.
  7. Populate the IP, Netmask, and Router fields with the correct information that was assigned by the IT representative.
    1. If using custom DNS Nameservers or NTP Timeservers, add them to the respective field. Use a comma (no spaces) to separate multiple addresses, leave blank to use default addresses.
      Completed Configuration

  8. Click Program Gateway. If programming was successful, the below message will be displayed.

    Successful Programming

  9. Unplug the micro USB cable from the DLGW3 and click Close.
  10. You may also verify that the DLGW3 is statically addressed as the Network LED indicator will now show SOLID BLUE.
Revert to DHCP Addressing
  1. Add all DLGW3’s to mapfile as normal via serial number (or Discovery)
  2. Connect a micro USB cable to the USB port of the computer running Commissioner. Connect the micro USB cable to the micro USB port of the DLGW3.
  3. Connect the PoE port of the DLGW3 to a PoE switch or other "live" ethernet connection.
  4. In Commissioner, click the Map menu and select Set Gateway 3 IP Addresses....
  5. Once the Gateway 3 Addressing dialog is opened, the tool will auto-discover the connected DLGW3.
  6. Select the option to Use DHCP.
If any custom DNS Nameservers or NTP Timeservers were previously programmed to the gateway, the gateway will continue to use the custom DNS Nameservers or NTP Timeservers after being reverted to DHCP. In order to use the default DNS nameservers and NTP timeservers, delete the values from the fields so that the fields are blank before selecting Program Gateway.
  1. Click Program Gateway. If programming was successful, you will receive a "Programming succeeded" message.
  2. Unplug the micro USB cable from the DLGW3 and click Close.
  3. You may also verify that the DLGW3 is using DHCP as the Network LED indicator will now blink BLUE (if connected to a network with that is serving DHCP addresses).
