Introduction
Whether you are using a single RGX™ Gateway or multiple units, this chapter will help you make decisions
about how each is to operate within your applications. Communications, settings, and wireless connections
about how each is to operate within your applications. Communications, settings, and wireless connections
are reviewed and illustrations are provided to depict simplified, sample deployment plans.
Communications
When using the RGX, two wireless networks are involved. One network allows the RGX to communicate
with gas-detection instruments. The other network allows the RGX to send instrument data to iNet®, which
supports the live-monitoring capabilities of iNet Now. Both networks are discussed below.

RGX Gateway
−instrument communication (LENS Wireless)
The RGX can communicate with gas-detection instruments only when the equipment items are set to
operate in the same named LENS™ Wireless group, and other requirements (settings and connections)
operate in the same named LENS™ Wireless group, and other requirements (settings and connections)
are met. The following apply to or should be decided for deployment planning and setup preparation.
x Decide which named LENS group (e.g. "Group A") the RGX will monitor.
x Decide which named LENS group (e.g. "Group A") the RGX will monitor.
x A LENS group can include up to 25 equipment items, counting gas-detection instruments and RGX
units.
x More than one RGX unit can be set to monitor a single LENS Group (iNet manages for any duplication
of instrument data sent from multiple RGX units).

communication
The RGX Gateway is set, by the customer, to communicate with iNet using one or more options—Wi-Fi,
cellular, and Ethernet. Your choices may be subject to your company's communication preferences and
security guidelines. If you are not familiar with your company's communication operations, see your network
administrator. For deployment planning and setup preparation, determine the following.
x Decide which of the three communication options a unit will use.
