LEDs
Front-mounted LEDs
The Home Monitoring Gateway has 8 LEDs.
POWER • On (Green)- Power On
• Off - Power Off
• On (Amber) - POST (power on self test) failure or device malfunc-
tion
ETH (1~2)
(Green) • On (Green)- LAN connection established.
• Off - No active connection on the corresponding LAN port.
• Flashing - Data is being transmitted or received via the
corresponding LAN (hub) port.
WiFi • On - Wireless connection available
• Off - No Wireless connection available.
• Flashing - Data is being transmitted or received via the Wireless
connection.
Zigbee • On - Zigbee function enabled.
• Off - Zigbee function disabled.
USB (1~2) • On (Green)- USB connection established.
• Off - No active connection on the corresponding USB port.
• Flashing - Data is being transmitted or received via the
corresponding USB port.
Service • On (Green)- Control Point has made a successful activation to the
Portal Server.
• Off - No active connection to the Portal Server.
• Flashing - Attempting to establish a connection to the Portal
Server.

Rear Panel
Reset This button has two (2) functions:
• Reboot. When pressed and released, the Home Monitoring Gate-
way will reboot (restart).
• Clear All Data. This button can also be used to clear ALL data
and restore ALL settings to the factory default values.
To Clear All Data and restore the factory default values:
1. Power On.
2. Keep holding the Reset Button down for 8 seconds.
Release the Reset Button. The Home Monitoring Gateway is now using
the factory default values.
ETH (1~2) Port Use standard LAN cables (RJ45 connectors) to connect your PCs to
these ports.
ZIGBEE But-
ton Click this button to enable the Zigbee function.
USB (1~2) Port The two connectors are USB hosts with support for mass storage
devices.
WPS button Push the WPS button on the device and on your other wireless device to
perform WPS function that easily creates an encryption-secured wire-
less connection automatically.
Power Port Connect the supplied power adapter here.

Chapter 2
Initial Installation
This Chapter covers the software installation of the Home Monitoring Gate-
way.
Requirements
• Network cables. Use standard 10/100BaseT network (UTP) cables with RJ45 connectors.
Procedure
1. Choose an Installation Site
Select a suitable place to install the Home Monitoring Gateway.
2. Connect LAN Cables
Use standard LAN cables to connect devices to the Ethernet ports on the Home Monitor-
ing Gateway.
4. Power Up
Connect the supplied power adapter to the Home Monitoring Gateway. Use only the
power adapter provided. Using a different one may cause hardware damage.
5. Check the LEDs
• The POWER LED should be ON.
4

Initial Installation
• The ETH LED should be ON (provided the PC is also ON.)

Board Description
This Chapter provides board description for the Home Monitoring Gateway.
Overview
NA403 is a home gateway/automation, monitoring platform based on the Broadcom chip
BCM5354. Below is an image of the board showing different connection and interfaces.
Components and connectors
1. Power connector - The power jack connects to DC12V 1A power source.
2. Console connector - The RS232 connector is used for debugging purpose. Note interface
voltage level is CMOS (3.3V), a logic level converter such as MAX232 will be required.
Baud rate: 115200
Data bits: 8
Stop bits: 1
Parity bit: none
Flow control: none
3. RJ-45 (1) connector - This is the LAN port connector with DHCP server function.
4. RJ-45 (2) connector - This is the WAN port connector.
5. Heat Sink and CPU - These are the Heat Sink and CPU.
6

6. WLAN antenna - This is he antenna for wireless LAN.
7. USB connector - The two connectors are USB hosts with support for mass storage de-
vices.
Currently, there is no auto detection for plugged in devices; the devices will need to be
manually mounted.
8. Zigbee module - this is a Zigbee static controller which can monitor/control other Zigbee
based devices/sensors.
9. Push button 1 - this push button’s state is accessible via GPIO pin 4. If depressed before
system power on (or software reboot), system enters download mode. This mode is used
by SerComm during mass production, if board is accidentally booted into this mode,
power off than power back on.
10. Push button 2 - This push button’s state is accessible via GPIO pin 6. If depressed before
system power on (or software reboot), then release during boot up sequence, the LAN,
WAN and wireless LAN settings are restored to default value. However, GPIO pin 6 is
also tied to RESET pin of the Zigbee module. Hence, if push button 2 is depressed during
normal operation, Zigbee functionality may behave unpredictably.
11. Programmable LED - These are seven single coloured and one bi-coloured LED control-
lable by firmware.
12. WPS push button - This button is used for WPS function.
Below is a close up of the console port. The pin definitions are:
Pin 1 - Vcc
Pin 2 - Receive
Pin 3 - Transmit
Pin 4 - Ground
