Network Connectivity

AWIN GW100 rev.2 has built-in four ports. Any one of the ports P1-P4 can be connected to an
Ethernet switch. The switch can be part of a host network. A typical host system on the net-
work can be a PLC or Automation controller using ModbusTCP protocol to communicate to
the gateway. Multiple ports shall not be connected to the same switch or network. Only one
port shall be connected to the host network.
The AWIN GW100 rev.2 is compatible with networks that use a Dynamic Host Control Protocol
(DHCP) server for allocating IP addresses. AWIN GW100 rev.2 supports both static and dy-
namic IP address assignment.

set" button, located on the front of the device.
With unit powered on and fully booted:
1. Hold Reset button for 10 seconds and release button.
2. About 10 seconds later the ST and MESH (if it was on) turn off.

The ethernet switch port connected to the AWIN GW100 rev.2 gateway shall have
Flow Rate limiter enabled. Overall bandwidth should be capped to 10Mbps (recom-
mended). Avoid mixing field network with other networks, such as control and cli-
ent/server network. AWIN GW100 rev.2 belongs to a field network only.
AWIN GW100 rev.2 is not an interfacing device. Typically, it is located between level
0 (process) and level 1 (basic control) hierarchy of the automation pyramid. It shall
be installed behind switch(es) and firewall(s) from the higher levels.
