MONNIT Ethernet Wireless Sensor Gateway

The MONNIT Ethernet Wireless Sensor Gateway is designed to collect data from compatible Monnit ALTA wireless sensors and pass that information through an Ethernet network to the iMonnit online monitoring and notification system. Monnit states that the gateway can operate without a PC once it is connected to power and an Ethernet network with internet access.

The MONNIT Ethernet Wireless Sensor Gateway is the 433 MHz model, making it the appropriate frequency variant for the Asia-Pacific and Australian regions listed by Monnit.

How it works

• Compatible ALTA wireless sensors transmit their sensor messages to the gateway over the 433 MHz wireless network.
• The gateway receives the wireless data and transfers it through its 10/100 Ethernet connection.
• Supported network protocols include DHCP, DNS, NTP, UDP, TCP, SNMP and Modbus TCP.
• Sensor messages can be stored in the gateway during an internet outage and transferred when the connection is restored.
• Connectivity, server and network status are shown through onboard LEDs.

Why choose this product

• Provides an Ethernet connection for Monnit ALTA wireless sensor monitoring.
• Uses a standard RJ45 Ethernet connection.
• Does not require a dedicated PC for normal gateway operation.
• Provides local status indicators to help identify connectivity and network conditions.
• Includes onboard memory for retaining sensor messages during an internet outage.

Benefits

• Centralised sensor communication: Provides a network connection point for compatible wireless sensors.
• Network flexibility: Supports several commonly used Ethernet and IP protocols.
