Initializing the Gateway
ETH1 Ethernet Port Connection
Configure the laptop’s network setting to use the following Administration IP address settings
[Table 1].
IP Address
Netmask
Gateway
DNS (if needed)
172.30.30.173
255.255.0.0
172.30.30.172

Table 1: Administrative IP address
Attach the laptop to the Nomadix ETH1 or LAN port using an Ethernet cable and check the
status as shown below.
Figure 1: Ethernet Connection

Customer Confidence 4
On the PC/laptop open an SSH (Secure Shell) client connection using PuTTY, Hyperterm,
Procomm (or equivalent) to the EG using the Gateway’s default IP address 172.30.30.172.
With everything connected and powered up, you are now ready to configure the Gateway’s
WAN for a static IP address, DHCP Client or PPPoE client using the appropriate
configuration guidelines that follow in order to obtain the license key.
Go to Initial (startup) Configuration.
Once the key has been obtained, the web management interface (WMI) can be used to
continue and finish the configuration.
Initial (startup) Configuration
Log in to the Gateway, by opening an SSH to 172.30.30.172 using the default Login= admin and password=
admin. Type y[es] when prompted to configure settings.
The initial minimal WAN port configuration mode will be displayed as shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3: Initial minimal WAN port configuration.
Select the desired configuration mode and use the following steps to configure the WAN port for either Static IP,
DHCP client or PPPoE.

Customer Confidence 5
Step 1a: Static WAN IP Configuration
Accept static as the default configuration mode and enter the following mandatory settings shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4: Initial WAN port settings
A WAN port summary page will then be displayed as shown in Figure 5.
Figure 5: WAN port static IP configuration summary page
If everything is correct in the summary, type b[ack] to return to the previous menu and proceed to Step 2 to enter
the location information.
Otherwise, select an option from the Ethernet port configuration menu to display or make changes to the WAN
port settings. When finished with the settings, type b[ack] to return to the previous menu and proceed to Step 2 to
enter the location information.

Customer Confidence 6
Step 1b: DHCP Client Configuration
Type d[hcp] for the configuration mode as shown in Figure 6.
Figure 6: Selecting DHCP Client for WAN configuration
A WAN port summary page will then be displayed as shown in the example Figure 7.
Figure 7: WAN port DHCP client configuration summary page
If everything is correct in the summary, type b[ack] to return to the previous menu and proceed to Step 2 to enter
the location information.
Otherwise, select an option from the Ethernet port configuration menu to display or make changes to the WAN
port settings. When finished with the settings, type b[ack] to return to the previous menu and proceed to Step 2 to
enter the location information.

Customer Confidence 7
Step 1c: PPPoE Dynamic IP Client Configuration
Enter p[ppoe] when prompted. Enter the following mandatory settings for a PPPoE connection with dynamic PPP
IP configuration shown in Figure 8.
Figure 8: Selecting PPPoE with dynamic IP configuration
A WAN port summary page will then be displayed as shown in Figure 9.
Figure 9: WAN port PPPoE client configuration summary page

Customer Confidence 8
Step 1d: PPPoE Static IP Client Configuration
Use the same steps for configuring dynamic PPPoE shown in Figure 8 above, but select static for PPP IP Configuration
Mode, and enter your IP address for PPP Static IP Address. A summary page similar to Figure 9 above will be
displayed.
If everything is correct in the summary, type b[ack] to return to the previous menu and proceed to Step 2 to enter the
location information.
Otherwise, select an option from the Ethernet port configuration menu to display or make changes to the WAN port
settings. When finished with the settings, type b[ack] to return to the previous menu and proceed to Step 2 to enter
the location information.

Customer Confidence 9
Step 2: Entering Your Location Information
You will be required to enter location information to obtain the license key. Enter the following mandatory location
information details shown in Figure 10.
Figure 10: Site location details
Step 3: Retrieving Your License Key
The system will now prompt you to accept or decline the End User License Agreement (EULA). You must accept
the terms of the EULA before the Edge Gateway can retrieve its license key. To retrieve the license key, enter y[es]
as shown in Figure 11. The EG retrieves the license key from the Nomadix license key server, then reboots.

Customer Confidence 10
Figure 11: License key retrieval.
NOTE: The date and time the gateway receives a valid license from our server for the first time is considered the
Software License Subscription start date.
Step 4: Configuring the System
Log in to the Edge Gateway and use the graphical Web Management Interface (WMI) to configure the product’s
features. You have now established a basic configuration for the EG that enables internet connectivity.
For additional information about the available EG features, refer to Chapter 2 of the User Guide specific to your
EG. For example:
• To establish various billing and authentication methods, see Defining the AAA Services.
• To establish hotel billing, see Assigning a PMS Service.
Step 5: Configuring EG DHCP Server Settings
DHCP Server is enabled by default. To configure the DHCP Server, go to DHCP under the Configuration menu. You
can either modify the default DHCP pool, add additional pools or delete the default DHCP pool and create a new
pool. The total lease pool size recommendation is 75% more than the number of licensed subscribers. Table 3
shows the factory default DHCP server settings.
