While the network indicator is solid orange, check for wireless networks
available to your laptop. The X2e will appear as cpx2e-zb-xxxxxxxxxx,

1Locate gateway near 115 VAC outlet that is close to TankScan monitor. It is okay to place gateway in a different room than
TankScan monitor but limit the number of walls and distance between them. Metal walls will weaken signals significantly
while other material types will also weaken signals but with less impact.
