SALTO Gateway Installation Guide
SALTO inspiredaccess
Introduction
The SALTO Gateway serves as the crucial link between a PC or server hosting the database (standard RJ45 Ethernet connection) and the SALTO wireless network, specifically SALTO RFnet or SALTO BLUEnet wireless escutcheons. It provides real-time information to the PC and is managed through SALTO Systems' advanced software, enabling operators to manage and communicate securely with all wireless access points. The gateway is designed with Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology, allowing it to be powered directly through the Ethernet infrastructure.
Dimensions
The gateway has the following dimensions: Height: 120 mm (4-3/4"), Width: 160 mm (6-19/64"), Depth: 34 mm (1-11/32").
System Overview
The system comprises the SALTO Gateway, which connects to the network via Ethernet. The gateway can manage multiple SALTO Nodes, which in turn manage SALTO RFnet Locks. The diagram shows a typical setup with the gateway connected to a PC/server, and multiple nodes connected to the gateway via Ethernet. Each node can then connect to several wireless escutcheons.

Cable Requirements
- Ethernet: UTP CAT5e
- Node Connection (AB): Generic twisted pair wire (Note 1)
- Node Connection (Vdd): 24 AWG
Complies with IEC 60332 Standard.
Mechanical Installation
The document provides diagrams illustrating the mechanical installation process, showing how to mount the gateway and connect cables.
Electrical Installation
Important Notes:
- If PoE and auxiliary power supplies are connected simultaneously, the PoE is disconnected.
- Pressing the CLR button for 5 seconds puts the Gateway into addressing mode.
- Auxiliary power supply is needed when the Ethernet infrastructure is not PoE (Power over Ethernet).
- The RS485 bus termination resistor is necessary (ON position) when the node is located at the end of the bus, or there are no external nodes connected.
The diagram shows the electrical connections, including Ethernet, Auxiliary Power, and RS485 Bus connections to the nodes.
Configuration
Addressing and Configuration
The SALTO Gateway is a DHCP-ready device. If no DHCP server is present on the local Ethernet network, a fixed IP address can be manually configured using the SALTO Gateway Web Server:
- Press the CLR button for 5 seconds to enter addressing mode (green LED turns orange).
- Access the IP address 192.168.0.234 via a standard web browser to configure network parameters.
- Press the CLR button again for 5 seconds or confirm the configuration to exit addressing mode.
After successful addressing, configure the wireless network using SALTO's software. Refer to the application's help documentation for details.
Configuration Interface Examples
Screenshots show the web interface for configuring the gateway's IP address, network name, and other parameters.
Installation Example
A diagram illustrates a typical installation scenario, showing the SALTO Gateway connected via Ethernet (PoE) to a network switch, and then to SALTO Nodes via UTP CAT5e cables. The nodes are connected to SALTO devices. The diagram also indicates the wireless link range between the gateway and nodes.
Signalling (LED Indicators)
Gateway LEDs
| LED COLOR | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| No light | Lack of power supply |
| Green | Everything is OK |
| Orange | Gateway in "Addressing mode" |
| Red | Gateway in "Bootloader mode" state |
| Flashing Green | No initialized by SALTO's software |
Ethernet Connector LEDs
| LED COLOR | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| No light | No Ethernet Connection |
| Green | Ethernet active |
| Flashing Orange | Data transfer taking place through Ethernet |
Operational Test
After installation, perform the following steps to check correct operation:
- Visually check that the LED is active after power on.
- When nodes and locks are installed, check that the LED is green.
- Check the Ethernet connector LEDs to know the communication state.
It is recommended to perform an operational test at least once a year.
