Hi @APC_Steve NBES0307 (In my case with NBWL0455) consumes 0.1ma @23v line (powered, no smoke) and 17.3ma @23v (smoke detected) + 0.4ma @5v sensor line. (probably no extra power needed typically but for fully loaded installations and long cables every extra 0.4 Watt in case of smoke detection may play a role. My another consideration is the power supplies those may lose their parameters with time. NetBotz equipment often work for years in hot conditions - capacitors in power supplies may give up quicker. So extra power won't be excessive and your recommendation in general is correct.)

Hi Jake, thanks for the detailed answer. I have proposed to the customer to use a wrong write community. Their answer was 'please make the field unnecessary because the way how it works guides users to make systems less secure' Can you please help me with other questions closely related to the subject and the PoC at a customer premise. - manually register the Gateway as a trap receiver - does GW receive and react to Traps/Informs from 3rd party equipment? - is FTP used for mass APC configuration or SNMP? - which protocols used for FW upgrades? Appreciated/Andrey

Andy

Hi Jackie! It is a big issue for my region too. Please involve me if you need quick and proper translation. I'm very interested to have NB and DCE interfaces in Russian - without mistakes and errors. Thanks. Andrey

Does advanced view support NBRK0250?

Andy

I will test it some day later (office limitations). We have a request to integrate 3rd party sensors and it's more complicated than I expected 🙂 Anyway all what the sensor do is pulling signal (0) to +5 and I don't remember any significant changes in power consumption.

Andy

Hi Steve, just a tip, as I measured some time ago the smoke sensor 0307 consumes something less 10mA @24v. But the line between the pods may drop voltage so you are 100% right about redundant power supplies,

Andy

Hello all, I've got a couple of questions from a customer who seriously care about security. First: is it possible to avoid from using WRITE community in Gateway settings to not allow any (including SE's) applications any possible chance to change settings. What is the official recommendation? Second: Some devices in a big data center have only TWO different READ communities. One is used for DCE, another is for a BMS system. It's undesirable to share communities between systems. What is the official recommendation to connect the equipment to ITE Gateway securely? Thanks.

An amateur workaround if you need a fresh install 1.8 on the same Windows machine. (Manual installation) 1) in the Windows control panel locate the services ExoStruxure... stop them and delete with a command sc delete <service-name> 2) rename or remove the folder in Program Files (EcoStruxreITGateway/1.8.1.44 alternatively use a different folder (custom installation) 3) enjoy the fresh installation with a new interface (note: all settings are lost! don't use for services in production)

Andy · Re: Upgrade ITGateway to v1.8.1.44

Hi @Gianluca , you are absolutely right! Even if you didn't say a word I understand you fully. Automated GW upgrade didn't work. You tried to install 1.8 over the 1.7 manually and it couldn't finish it's installation. Probably than you uninstalled the 1.7 and tried to install 1.8 as fresh. Am I right? I did exactly the same probably. I'm also confused with it and it's sad that I lost time too. But I have a small project and a snapshot of a clean Windows installation. I hope RnD have know about the problem, collected the logs and have fixed it. We will see the answer here what to do if a customer installation is big. Probably to stop distributing the update if it's buggy. Cheers!

Hi @Gianluca I've just started playing with the GW and ITE. And I would add all the devices by IP except the one I don't want to add to the ITE group. Or to use a different passwors/comunity on the device not to give the GW a chance to grab the data. Not sure that is the best idea J
