1. Go to System > Time and date and select the timezone according to the location. Then just
click on Save. (DEXGate2 uses the UDP port 123 to synchronize the time*)
2. If Synchronization through UDP port 123 is not available, you can set the date and time
manually by selecting Manual (Not recommended).
(* In case of doubt, ask your system administrator).
NOTE: The DEXGate2 registration process in DEXCell Energy Manager can be done before or after
installing the device.
1. Access DEXCell Energy Manager with your username and go to Settings > Gateways
2. Click on “Register a new gateway” and select DEXGate2
3. Enter a name and the serial number or “identier” of DEXGate2 (lowercase letters) that
you will nd on the menu “Status” at your DEXGate2 or at the sticker on the device. Select a
time-zone and click on Save.
4. Enter at “Edit” and write down the “Gateway token” generated by DEXCell Energy Manager
at this screen. This code must be entered in the DEXGate2 at the end of the registration pro-
cess.
5. Through the web interface conguration access DEXGate2 Modbus> Settings. In Modbus
conguration you will nd the following lines where you have to add the “Gateway token” you
wrote down at the previous step:
# token of this dexgate in dexcell
token=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
6. Click “Save and reboot”
4 . Set Date and Time
5 . Register DEXGate 2 in DEXCell Energy Manager
At this point, if you have internet access, you may already have remote access to your DEXGa-
te2 from DEXCell Energy Manager.
The DEXGate2 uses UDP port 1196 to connect to our VPN (remote.dexcell.com)*.
1. Go to Diagnostics > Remote Support and check whether the DEXGate2 is connected
to our VPN
2. If not, click Connect
(* In case of doubt, ask your system administrator).
Modbus conguration: Connect the meters to DEXGate2 using the supplied adapter (DB15
Terminal block).
Each meter works in a particular way, so we strongly recommend reading the meter user
manual.
The meter conguration can be done from the web management interface in DEXGate2.
To connect Modbus meters via RS485, you must use terminals A (+), B (-) and S (shield).
6. Remote access
7. Connect and congure the meters
Read the full manual for detailed information about installing the most common meters and
how to set the DEXGate2 to recognize them.
For modbus devices, indicate the BUS speed and the meters’ Modbus addresses from the
menu “Modbus conguration” at DEXGate2.
You must also specify the “Gateway token” (if you have not done so before).
