How to assign the Gateway a static address if no DCHP server is available
Why use this procedure? If you are installing the Gateway on a network with no DHCP server.
Step 1. Have the Gateway powered on for at least 60 seconds before beginning. The Gateway must
have the network cable plugged in and connected to the network or this procedure will not work.
Press and hold the Gateway button though the hole on the side of the Gateway with a bent paperclip
(see the "Where is the Gateway button" section above) for about 30 seconds until the green (right) LED
on the network connector is blinking 2 times per second continuously. You may see the LEDs blink in
other ways during this time but keep pressing the button until you see the 2-times per second blinking.
The Gateway is now in “boot loader mode”.
Step 2. Press the Gateway button in the sequence 5-4-2. This configures the Gateway to an IP address
of 192.168.1.120. This will not take effect until a power cycle. If the Gateway contains firmware version
1.4 or later then the Gateway will restart at this point and step 3 below is not needed.
If the Gateway contains earlier firmware then the Gateway green (right) LED will repeatedly blink 2
slow blinks to show this was done and you should proceed to step 3.
Step 3. Power cycle the Gateway.
After this is complete you can use UPStart, enter the address of 192.169.1.120 into the UPStart
connection dialog and then connect.
If you need to use a different IP address see the next section.
If your network has no DHCP server and isn’t configured in such a way that 192.168.1.120 can be used,
the only option available is to find another network that has a DHCP server, or can be used to access a
device with address 192.168.1.120. With the Gateway connected to that network, use UPStart to
change the static IP address – see next section. Then replace the Gateway back into the installation
network.
Tip: You can also purchase a network cable with a crossover so you can plug the Gateway directly into a
computer network cable port. Talk to people who know about this sort of thing to get help.
