Router Security Configuration
For the GarageSmart™ device to receive inbound commands (red arrows below) from the
Internet and the GarageSmart™ Network, Port Forwarding must be setup properly within the
router.
1. Login into your router as this is usually accomplished by typing the Gateway Address
into your web browser.(1) (2)
If you don’t know the default Gateway Address of your router, see Finding your
default gateway address in the Troubleshooting & Help section of this manual.
2. Under your routers Port Forwarding settings, add the following information:(3)
a. IP Address: Select an available IP Address.
b. Start Port: Select 31301 as the Start Port.
Each GarageSmart™ device requires a different Port when used on the
same network. Example: 31301 for the first device, 31302 for the second
device, 31303 for the third device, etc.
c. End Port: This is the same as Start Port above. (4)
d. External IP Address: If your router has this setting, set this to 0.0.0.0
e. Protocol: TCP

Installation
Installation and wiring
Installation of a GarageSmart GS100-CR is for controlling and monitoring commercial garage
doors (typically found in businesses or factories), that have a 3-button wall mounted pushbutton
(in which each pushbutton individually opens, closes and stops the garage door).
In existing installations, the GS100-CR will replace your existing 3-button mechanical controller
but it can also be added as a second door controller.
For cabling, regular Cat 5 Ethernet wire (or equivalent) is recommended to use, as this wire is low
cost, readily available and already contains 4 twisted pairs of wire (for OPEN, CLOSE, STOP,
COM, and 24VAC/DC power connections), making installation from the garage door motors
control box to the GarageSmart™ device faster and easier.
Depending on the application, additional parts may be required for proper installation.

2. Remove the cover of the GarageSmart™device and using screws (not included),
secure the GarageSmart™ GS100-CR to the wall using the mounting holes as shown
below.
3. Choose the best and most practical location to install the GarageSmart Sensor.
The sensors must also be mounted in which they are no more than 0.5” apart from each
other (or close enough in which the sensor closes) when the garage door is closed.
Sensors may vary and is for show only
