Installing the GW-SL1 Gateway
PLEASE READ THIS DOCUMENT BEFORE YOU INSTALL AND USE THIS DEVICE.
The GW-SL1 device is used to connect an HTD Whole-House Controller (MC-66, MCA-66, Lync6, Lync12) into
your home’s wireless or wired network.
When properly installed and congured, you will be able to control your Whole-House Controller from a wire-
less smart device (such as an iPod Touch, iPhone™, Android™ or other “smartphone” or tablet devices.)
Your device must have access to your home’s wireless or wired network.
iPod Touch and iPhone are Trademarks of Apple Computer
Android is a Trademark of Google
The GW-SL1 product includes the following items:
You will also need a Cat5e cable (NOT included), with male RJ45 connector tips on each end. The Cat5e
cable must be long enough to connect from the GWSL-1 Gateway unit, directly into your network Router or to
another connection point on your home’s computing network.
While working through the following steps, if you have any
questions, feel free to contact us.

Installing the GW-SL1 GATEWAY
Getting Started:
Connect a Cat5e (or Cat6) cable from the GW-SL1 to one of the available “LAN” ports on your network Router or1.
into another available connection in your network.
Connect the RS232 Serial Cable to the back of the HTD Whole-House Audio Controller (MC-66, MCA-66, Lync6,2.
or Lync12) (where it is labeled “RS232 INTERFACE”), and to the GW-SL1 unit.
Plug the Power Supply into an available 120 VAC electrical outlet & it to the GW-SL1 Gateway.3.
Your network Router will automatically recognize the presence of the GW-SL1, and will assign it a unique network4.
number, known as an internal “IP Address”. An IP address is made up of four groups of numbers, separated by
periods (for example, 192.168.1.10)
Now, in order to access the GW-SL1 from your portable phone or other device, you will need to know what “IP Ad-5.
dress” your router assigned to the GW-SL1.
Preferred method for determining your GW-SL1’s IP address:6.
 •Download and use a free utility called “Fing” directly onto your handheld device.
For iPhone, iPad, iPod-Touch or Android users:
• Go to the Apple iTunes/App Store (Apple devices) or Android Market (Android devices) and search for “Fing”.
It’s from a company called “OverLook” - It’s a FREE download and there are no usage fees.
• Select and install “Fing” on your device.
• Make sure your device has access to your wireless network.
• Run “Fing” on your device. You’ll see a screen similar to the one below.
• On the Fing screen, you will see a list of all the devices currently operating on your network. Under each IP
Address shown on the Fing screen you will see sets of numbers/letters separated by “:” (for example
A4:94:9D:85:A6:48). This group of characters is call a MAC address. This MAC address will be our means to
determine which device is the GW-SL1 and ultimately determine the GW-SL1’s IP Address. Look for the
MAC address that begins: A4:4F:29:A_:__:__ . Only the rst 7 digits matter for the purpose of nding the
GW-SL1 (In the example below the MAC address we are looking for is: A4:4F:29:A7:A6:48). Yours will be
different, but remember only the rst 7 digits matter for our purposes.
• Once you have found the correct MAC address, you will have found the GW-SL1’s IP Address also. The
number above the MAC Address is the IP Address for that device. The IP Address below is 192.168.1.10.
This will NOT likely be the IP address for your GW-SL1.
• Once you have found the IP address for your GW-SL1,
Write down the IP Address in the space provided below:
_____. _____. _____. _____

tem controlled by Valet.
