How to assign the Gateway a specific static IP address
Why use this procedure? If the installation network requires that a specific IP address is used for the
Gateway.
Step 1. Have the Gateway powered on for at least 60 seconds before beginning.
Step 2. Start UPStart and press the “Configure” button in the “Powerline Interface” panel in the
“PulseWorx Gateway” category in the ribbon.
Step 3. Connect to the Gateway using the “Connect” button in the dialog. You must successfully
connect before proceeding to the next step.
Step 4.Press the “Network Settings” button. This opens a dialog where you can choose either DHCP or
Static IP address mode. Chose “Assign Static address” and enter the IP address, the subnet mask, and
the Network Gateway address – usually the IP address of your router. When complete, close the
dialog with OK. The changes do not take effect until the Gateway is power cycled.
Step 5. Power cycle the Gateway and wait 60 seconds until the Gateway restarts.
In UPStart, enter the IP address that you assigned or use the Discover button to locate the Gateway
and then connect.
How to exit the Gateway from “Boot loader mode”
If at any time you find that you started one of these procedures and the Gateway is in boot loader
mode and you want to stop before any changes are made, just power cycle the Gateway and it restarts
normally.
