VII. USING THE LOCAL INTERFACE
If using iMonnit is not an option, you can set up your gateway and sensors offline through
the local web interface. This interface is enabled by default, but is configured to be read
only. To make changes using this interface, the interface must be configured to allow
changes to the device. Follow this procedure to enable configuration temporarily:
- Connect the gateway's Ethernet cable to your computer directly.
- Plug in the gateway to a power outlet.
- Press and hold the utility button while the gateway is booting and the lights are
scrolling. At the end of the boot process, all lights will be green for two seconds then
shift to red. Release the button and the local web interface will be temporarily
write-enabled (indicated by the lights flashing green quickly.
- After 30 seconds, the gateways lights will all blink red rapidly. This means the gateway
is in AUTO IP mode if DHCP is enabled. After an additional 30 seconds, the computer
will also be in this networking mode (no internet).
- Using a web browser type in the IP Address currently assigned to the gateway. When
the gateway is in AUTO IP mode, the IP Address is always 169.254.100.1. The
browser should then load the status page for this gateway.
Note
- When the gateway is connected to a router or other internet access point, the
local interface is reachable through the DHCP assigned IP Address, or the
configured Static IP Address.
- Each time a page is refreshed, the temporary timer to access these pages with
configuration authorized will reset.
- If the interface is not used for 5 minutes or the gateway restarts, the HTTP
interface will become read-only.
STATUS TAB
Gateway MAC Address - This is the
media control address of your gateway
to exclusively identify the device to a
Network Interface Controller.
Gateway IP Address - This is a network
address for your gateway when it is
connected to the Internet.
Router IP Address - This is a network
address for your router when it is
connected to the Internet.
Network Mask - Also known as a
?Subnet Mask,?this masks the ip
address by dividing it into the network
address and the host address.
DNS Address - A Domain Name
System is the method employed by a
URL of translating the alphabetic entry in
an address bar into a numerical address
associated with a server.
