server. The device can be physically
connected through a USB cable to the
machine hosting E-Plex services or the
device can be connected, using a network

5.6.2. Joining an E-Plex Gateway as a Router (Aurora)
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the intended router is set to
factory mode before attempting to join it to a Gateway.
1. Set the Gateway you wish to pair with the
Router to Join On Mode from the Gateway
Status widget,found in the Status Window.
2. Power the Router by first pressing and holding
the green button (reset) on intended router for
5 to 10 seconds, then release the button. The
red and green LEDs on the router will both be
flashing in unison.
3. Wait until only the green LED is blinking, then
press the green button again to reset the
router.
4. If successful, the router and Gateway LEDs
should both have an identical flashing pattern,
otherwise repeat the power/reset process
again.
5. From the Aurora main menu, click the
"Settings" button, then choose "Application
Utilities"
On the Gateway Setup tab, select your
gateway and verify the router appears in the
list of routers.
6. Return to the Status Window and take the
router out of Join On mode.
The Gateway will flash green and red LEDs as it
prepares for configuration. When the Gateway
flashes only green, click the "Configure" button in
the Aurora software.
A popup will appear informing you the Gateway
has been successfully configured. If you wish to
configure more E-Plex Gateways, click the "No"
button. If you are finished configuring all E-Plex
Gateways, wait until the Gateway reboots, then
click the "Yes" button. Selecting "Yes" restarts
the local E-Plex Server Service to ensure that the
new Gateway(s) connect to that server.
If the E-Plex Server Service is on a remote
computer, you will need to restart the E-Plex
Server Service and/or reboot the computer to
ensure the new E-Plex Gateway(s) connect
correctly.
