gateway lcd monitors free sample
Despite a host of video connections, including HDMI, and HDCP support, the $550 Gateway FHD2400 is not a good multimedia display choice. This 24-inch LCD carries a reasonable $550 price and will suffice for basic productivity and gaming usage. The rich feature set includes an optional $50 speaker bar that attaches to the bottom, a pivoting screen, and HDMI and component inputs. Despite its many features, the overall performance of the system leaves a lot to be desired. It scored relatively low on our suite of labs-based tests and exhibited some errors during our anecdotal tests. Image flaws are most evident in the FHD2400 when viewing movies or doing graphics work.
The Gateway FHD2400 is fairly sleek looking. It has a glossy, black bezel on its top and sides offset by a silver metal overlay that runs along the bottom with Gateway"s logo on it. From its back, you can see the similarly glossy neck of the stand, which also includes the Gateway logo. By simply snapping the optional speaker bar to the bottom of the bezel, you are able to listen to audio from your PC--or whatever HD device you have hooked up--solely through your display.
The Gateway FHD2400"s connection options are more extensive than we expected for a $550 24-inch display. These options include the usual suspects, DVI and VGA, plus basic S-Video and composite video connections. In addition, you get component and HDMI for your HD needs; the display"s 1,920x1,200 native resolution means you can display 1080p video (it supports HDCP). Also included are a built-in four-port USB, and a headphone and a microphone port. The only thing we find missing is an optical audio port.
Given its sleek appearance and bountiful connections, the Gateway FHD2400 did not score as highly as we had hoped in the labs. In our DisplayMate performance tests, it had trouble in two key areas. The first area was the display"s video bandwidth. The bandwidth test measures the monitor"s capability to produce broad detail as well as fine detail. Its low score indicates that it will not be able to produce fine image detail very well. This can result in very detailed but relatively distant images looking blurry in photographs and movies. The other lackluster area was in its grayscale reproduction. The grayscale test evaluates a display"s capability to produce true black while still reproducing the darkest grays of the grayscale. Even at its highest brightness setting, we had trouble seeing any dark grays lower than level 12. Ideally, we"d be able to see dark grays at level 4 or lower. This low score means that detail is lost in a movie"s darker scenes. Color reproduction on the display was good, but we would have liked to see less color compression and colors that were less drab and had more brightness to them.
We saw better performance with games. World of Warcraft looked great. The Gateway FHD2400"s glossy screen made the action look even smoother and less aliased along polygon edges than would be expected from our test system. Unfortunately, we noticed the same red push in the game as we did while watching Swordfish. This hurt the overall image quality. However, the error can be fixed by adjusting the red in the color menu. We also noticed on dark screens that there is obvious backlight bleed through at the top and left areas of the screen. While all LCD"s are guilty of at least some backlight bleeding, it was apparent here even when viewed in a room with stark lighting. We were unimpressed with the viewing angle; we noticed the quality of the screen diminished significantly as the angle of our view was off center by about a foot.
To monitor performance, gateway admins have traditionally depended on manually monitoring performance counters through the Windows Performance Monitor tool. We now offer additional query logging and a Gateway Performance PBI template file to visualize the results. This feature provides new insights into gateway usage. You can use it to troubleshoot slow-performing queries.
Gateway diagnostics doesn"t capture diagnostics directly related to the (virtual) machine and its network, like bandwidth or latency. However, these diagnostics might impact your gateway performance. You can use resource monitoring tools to monitor your machine.
There are other values in the config file C:\Program Files\On-premises data gateway\Microsoft.PowerBI.DataMovement.Pipeline.GatewayCore.dll.config that you can update as needed:
ReportFilePath: Determines the path where the three log files are stored. By default, this path is either \Users\PBIEgwService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\On-premises data gateway\Report or \Windows\ServiceProfiles\PBIEgwService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\On-premises data gateway\Report. The path depends on the OS version. If you use a service account for the gateway other than PBIEgwService, replace this part of the path with the service account name.
After you make the changes to the config file, restart the gateway for these config values to take effect. The report files are now being generated in the location that you specified for ReportFilePath.
The Query Execution Aggregation Report contains query information aggregated to a time interval by GatewayObjectId, DataSource, Success, and QueryType. The default value is 5 minutes, but you can adjust it. The following attributes are captured.
By default, spool storage for the gateway is located at C:\Users\PBIEgwService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\On-premises data gateway\Spooler. Be sure to monitor this location to ensure there is adequate free disk space. More information: Gateway spooling data
By default, the gateway performs basic logging. If you"re investigating slow-performing queries, in addition to using the performance monitoring feature, you can temporarily enable Additional logging to gather additional log information. To do this, in the on-premises data gateway app select Diagnostics > Additional logging.
Enabling this setting likely will increase the log size significantly, based on gateway usage. We recommend that after you finish reviewing the logs that you disable additional logging. We don"t recommend leaving this setting enabled during normal gateway usage.
When you turn on this setting, additional information (application context in the following sample) is included in the gateway logs that indicates which dataset or report this query belongs to. Not all services are able to send this information at this time and we are working on known gaps.
By default, the on-premises data gateway spools data before returning it to the dataset, potentially causing slower performance during data load and refresh operations. The default behavior can be overridden.
In the C:\Program Files\On-Premises data gateway\Microsoft.PowerBI.DataMovement.Pipeline.GatewayCore.dll.config file, set the StreamBeforeRequestCompletes setting to True, and then save.

The 502 Bad Gateway error is an HTTP status code that means that one server on the internet received an invalid response from another server. These errors are completely independent of your particular setup, meaning that you could see one in any browser, on any operating system, and on any device.
Twitter"s famous "fail whale" error that says Twitter is over capacity is actually a 502 Bad Gateway error (even though a 503 Error would make more sense).
When Google services, like Google Search or Gmail, are experiencing a 502 Bad Gateway, they often show Server Error, or sometimes just 502, on the screen.
Bad Gateway errors are often caused by issues between online servers that you have no control over. However, sometimes, there is no real issue but your browser thinks there"s one thanks to a problem with your browser, an issue with your home networking equipment, or some other in-your-control reason.
Microsoft IIS web servers often give more information about the cause of a particular 502 Bad Gateway error by adding an extra digit after the 502, as in HTTP Error 502.3 - Web server received an invalid response while acting as a gateway or proxy, which means Bad Gateway: Forwarder Connection Error (ARR).
The 502 Bad Gateway error is often a network error between servers on the internet, meaning the problem wouldn"t be with your computer or internet connection.
While the 502 Bad Gateway error is usually indicating a networking error outside of your control, it could be extremely temporary. Trying the page again will often be successful.
If an alternative browser doesn"t produce a 502 Bad Gateway error, you now know that your original browser is the source of the problem. Assuming you"ve followed the above troubleshooting advice, now would be the time to reinstall your browser and see if that corrects the problem.
Restart your networking equipment. Issues with your modem, router, switches, or other networking devices could be causing 502 Bad Gateway or other 502 errors. A simple restart of these devices could help.
Change your DNS servers, either on your router or on your computer or device. Some Bad Gateway errors are caused by temporary issues with DNS servers.
Contacting the website directly might also be a good idea. Chances are, assuming they"re at fault, the website administrators are already working on correcting the cause of the 502 Bad Gateway error, but feel free to let them know about it.
Contact your internet service provider. If your browser, computer, and network are all working and the website reports that the page or site is working for them, the 502 Bad Gateway issue could be caused by a network issue that your ISP is responsible for.
Come back later. At this point in your troubleshooting, the 502 Bad Gateway error message is almost certainly an issue with either your ISP or with the website"s network—one of the two parties might have even confirmed that for you if you contacted them directly. Either way, you"re not the only one seeing the 502 error and so you"ll need to wait until the problem is solved for you.
When a representative reached out to us to offer a new line of Gateway computers to review, I was intrigued. The brand has been revived for a new line of laptops and tablets, sold exclusively in Walmart. I decided to see if this new line, trading on the recognizable name, was worthy of consideration by budget shoppers.
Gateway was a mainstay of American PCs in the late 1990s and early 2000s, back when the appeal of configuring your own PC online and ordering it “custom” was still new. It’s been owned by Acer since 2007, with little to no product since, but these new computers aren’t made by Acer. They’re created by Bmorn Technology out of Shenzen, licensing the Gateway name to place on existing whitebox designs. They come in some fresh colors, including the fetching teal and purple of these review units.
Gateway is offering two Android tablets in this line—8-inch and 10-inch—and I asked for the latter. Our review unit came with a deep purple plastic body, though black and teal are also available. Gateway’s website says that it’s a “1080p screen” that’s “Tuned by THX,” but the full spec sheet elsewhere says it has a notably lower resolution of 1280×800. (The latter was true of our review unit).
Easily the most frustrating experience among these three devices is the “ultraportable” convertible laptop. This 11.6-inch machine uses a Celeron N3350 processor, dual-core at 1.1 GHz, with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage, more than half of which is taken up by Windows 10. The convertible form factor and touchscreen make it $300, $100 more expensive than the cheapest of the new Gateway laptops. (Oddly, it’s $199 on the Walmart website at the time of writing.)
If you only have $300 to spend on a laptop, get a Chromebook. If you absolutely have to have a small Windows laptop with a touchscreen, look around for a used one instead of buying this Gateway.
That would be a mistake, assuming that your budget can stretch. With a little extra dough, this Gateway laptop comes with some serious upgrades: a quite new 10th-gen Core i5 processor, 256 GB of SSD storage, and a fingerprint reader built into the touchpad. While the laptop has a proprietary charger, it does have a USB-C port (which won’t take a charge) and a metal lid for a little extra durability. It lasted for about 8 hours on a charge in my testing.
Between the three Gateway models I checked out, one was a complete dud (the small laptop), the other was a little below the level of competitive (the Android tablet), and one was a surprising value.
The Ignition Gateway is the primary software service that drives everything in Ignition. It is a single application that runs as a web server and accessed through a web browser. Itconnects to data and PLCs, executes modules, and communicates with clients. You can customize the Homepage to fit your needs using the Gateway Settings. From the Gateway, you activate Ignition, transfer licenses, backup and restore the Ignition Gateway, and setup redundancy. You can even set up a Gateway Network that allows two or more Gateways to connect to one another and share data.
The Gateway is accessed through a web browser. The web browser, running on any machine, must have network access to the host that is running the Gateway.
By default, Ignition installs by using the 8088port. For example, if the host"s IP address is 10.0.28.30, you access the Gateway via the URL: Ignition is installed on the computer that you are logged into, you can access it by typing
After installation, the Gateway starts automatically. The Gateway runs as a service, so you can use your operating system"s normal mechanisms to start or stop the service. You can also start or stop the Gateway using the Gateway Command-line Utility.
The Gateway Webpage performs a cadre of functions and is the hub for accessing all the functions of the Gateway server. It drives everything in Ignition! The Gateway Webpage is where you setup your licensing and activation, configure your Gateway settings, databases, devices, projects, modules, security, and alarming. When the Gateway server is running, you can connect to a device, connect to a database, launch the Designer, and launch a Vision client or Perspective session. You can also check the status of your system, network, agents, sessions, tasks, reports, and alarms.
The first time you go to the Gateway Homepage, it shows you several steps to help you get started. Once you"re up and running, the Inductive University, Quick Start Guide, Production Documentation where you can learn about Ignition modules, and the Appendix which contains a complete reference for components, expressions and scripting functions.
When you"re first introduced to Ignition, the Homepage is the landing page. It"s where you"ll find the Designer Launcher, Vision Client Launcher, and Perspective Session Launcher.The Designer Launcher locates all Gateways that are available on your local network. Once you open the Designer, you can access existing projects or create new projects on the Gateway.
The Vision Client Launcher opens Vision Clients from any Ignition Gateway. It browses all Gateways for Vision projects that are available on your local network and remote locations. Once your Vision projects are added to the Vision Client Launcher, they will be displayed and all you have to do is click the link to launch a Vision Client.
If you are not already logged into your Gateway, username and password for the Ignition administrator. This was the first account created during installation. From the Config page, you can setup all connections, projects, and perform all the Gateway and platform operations. The list of options on the left menu changes based on what modules are installed. You can select any of the available options to get more detailed information. This page also provides some links to common actions to help get you get started.
The Designer Launcher locates all the Gateways that are available on your local network. Once the Designer is open, you can access existing projects or create new projects on the Gateway.
The Gateway Command-line Utility (GCU) is a lightweight standalone application that provides information about the Gateway. It performs high-level tasks that aren"t available inside the Gateway webpage such as stopping and restarting the Gateway server, and setting ports used between the Gateway and clients. It shows the status of the Tomcat web server and the Ignition Gateway application. You can reset the Gateway password, and even launch the web browser to the Gateway webpage.
The following image shows the different parts of the Gateway and how projects work within the Gateway. Note the parts that are outside the Ignition Gateway box, non-Ignition OPC servers, databases, devices, etc., are all separate from Ignition but can be connected.
Ignition redundancy supports a 2-node system, meaning there are two copies of the Gateway running. One node is the Master Gateway and the other is the Backup Gateway or backup node. All projects, Gateway settings, etc., are shared between nodes. The master node manages the configuration then replicates it to the backup node.
When you have redundant systems in place, you can get detailed status information by going to Gateway webpage and selecting Status > Redundancy to view the system"s status and events. For more about how Gateway redundancy works, go to the section on Redundancy.
