Installation
Deploying the SMG-1100
You must use SMG Manager to configure the SMG-1100. In the example shown below, SMG Manager, Device
Configuration Gateway, and the SMG-6100 are all on subnet 192.168.3.xxx. Each SMG-1100 also has an
intranet IP address in subnet 192.168.30.xxx, and this IP address is used when the SMG-1100 is deployed at
the remote site. The next step in the implementation process is to insert the SIM card, Ethernet cable and
power cable. After the SMG-1100 is accessible via the LAN, SMG-1100 should connect to Device Configuration
Gateway automatically. Finally, use SMG Manager to configure the SMG-1100. A step-by-step procedure is
outlined below.
1. Refer to the MODBUS section in the SMG Manager chapter of this manual to set up the MODBUS Gateway.
In addition, see Step 4 below to manage MODBUS Gateways on an SMG-1100.
2. Refer to the VPN(IPSec) section in the SMG Manager chatper to create an IPSec tunnel between an
SMG-6100 and SMG-1100.
3. When deploying the SMG-1100, change the IP address of the LAN port to a static private IP address,
without default gateway. In the example shown above, 192.168.30.95 is used for the SMG-1100.
4. Reboot the SMG-1100 to test the configuration.
5. Power off the SMG-1100 and deploy it to the remote site.
To use SMG Manager to remotely monitor and manage Moxa’s SMGs, you need to install two software
programs:
1. Device Configuration Gateway: This program must be installed on the computer(s) used as the Device
Configuration Gateway. It serves as a portal between two programs, allowing them to share information by
communicating between protocols on the same computer or between computers. Device Configuration
Gateway can be used to connect to many SMGs at remote sites, so that a centralized management
architecture can be established.
2. SMG Manager: This program is installed on the computer, usually a PC or a laptop, in the control center.
It allows users to connect to the Device Configuration Gateway to monitor and manage the remote SMGs.
Installing Device Configuration Gateway
Device Configuration Gateway should be installed on the computers that you will use as the Device
Configuration Gateway that the remote SMGs connect to. Device Configuration Gateway can be downloaded
from Moxa's website. The files will be packaged as zip files.
Follow these steps to install Device Configuration Gateway.
1. Unzip the file and double click DCG_Setup_Ver1.0_Build_xxx.exe to start the installation procedure.
