Set Up Your New Gateway
Hardware
STEP1‐Antennas
Ifyourgatewayincludescellular,pleaseinstallthe
includedantennas.Thecellularantennasmustbe
screwedintotheterminalsofthegatewaylabeled
“CellMain”and“CellAux”.Thetwocellular
antennaslookidentical.

CellularAntenna(withprong)
STEP2–InternetConnectivity
IfyouareusingcellularconnectivityfortheInternet,
thengototheSIMInstallationstep.OncetheSIMis
installed,nootherInternetConnectivity
configurationisrequired.ThengotothePower
Step,below.
IfyouareusingEthernetconnectivityforthe
Internet,thenplugoneendoftheEthernetcable
intothegatewayconnectorlabeled“WAN/LAN”.If
yournetworksupportsdynamicIPaddresses,or
DHCP,thenconnecttheotherendoftheEthernet
cabletoyourInternetrouterorhub.Thengo
directlytothenextstep.
IfyournetworkrequirestheuseofastaticIP
addresses,thenreviewthe“AccessLocal
ConfigurationSettings”section(below),and
configuretheappropriatenetworksettings.
STEP3‐Power
Connecttheincludedpowersupplytothegateway,
andapplypower.
Whenfirstpowered,theStatusLEDwillinitiallybe
orange.OtherLEDswillturnonoroffduringthe
initializationsequence.Afterafewminutes,the
StatusLEDwillblinkgreenaboutoncepersecond.
Thisindicatesthatthegatewayhascompletedits
coreinitialization.OtherLEDsmayalsobeturnedon
atthispoint.
Yourgatewaymayincludeother,specialized
softwareorhardware.Ifthisisthecase,the
initializationprocessmayrequireadditionaltime.
Forexample,ifyouhaveaZ‐Waveradioinstalled,
theZ‐Waveinitializationcontinuesbeyondthecore
initialization,andiscompletesometimeaftertheZ‐
WaveLEDlightturnson.
Atthispoint,yourgatewayisreadyforuse.
IfSIMinstallation,orspecialgatewayconfigurations
arerequired,thencontinuewiththisguide.
Also,ifyouareinterestedinremoteaccessorcontrol
oftheInternetofThings,thenreadtheSysSCRIPT
sectionofthisguide.
Cellular Installation &
Configuration
SIMcardInstallation
Ifyouareusingcellularconnectivity,thenaSIMcard
mayberequired.NoSIMisneededformostCDMA
andEVDOnetworks.However,HSPA+andLTE
networksrequireaSIM.
SIMinstallationmaybealreadybeendonebyyour
reseller.Inthatcase,youmayskipthissection.
PowerdownthegatewaypriortoinstallingtheSIM.

InserttheSIMcardintotheSIMslotasshown.Note
thatthelabelfacesupandthenotchisontheleft.A
fingernailorcoinmaybeusefulincompletingthis
step.TheSIMlocksintoplaceinsidetheunit.


5 
EnsurethattheSIMcardisinsertedintotheSIMslot
andnotbetweentheSIMslotandtheSysLINKcase.
Whenproperlyinserted,therewillbesome
resistancewhenthecardisabout80%inserted.
AccessthelocalSysLINKconfigurationwebpage
