HP Base Station Gateway
Overview: Gateway
The gateway collects information from all wireless base stations within a wireless network and sends the information to the HP Insight Environmental Observer software over an Ethernet connection.
Only one instance of the HP Insight Environmental Observer software can connect to a gateway device, though it can connect to multiple gateways within the data center, depending on the available network connection.
Configuring the HP Base Station Gateway
NOTE: The default IP address for each gateway is 192.168.0.2.
Each installed gateway must have a static IP address. Configure the gateway IP address, using the same address assigned to the gateway in the HP Insight Environmental Configurator, before you install the gateway and connect to the network. For more information, see the HP Insight Environmental Configurator User Guide. Consult your data center administrator to obtain gateway IP addresses.
To configure the gateway:
1.Connect one end of the supplied power cable to the gateway and the other end to a power source.
2.Connect one end of the CAT5 Ethernet cable to the gateway and the other end to the computer from which you will configure the gateway.
