VII. USING THE LOCAL INTERFACE
If using iMonnit is not an option, you can set up your gateway and sensors offline through
the local interface.
• Connect the gateway to a router or network switch using an Ethernet cord.
• Plug in the gateway to a power outlet.
• Power on the gateway. While booting, the lights will scroll green.
• Press and hold the utility button. At the end of the boot process, all lights will be green
for two seconds then shift to red. Release the button and the local configuration page
will be temporarily enabled.
• Use a PC on the local network to access your router’s configuration page first (see
your router documentation). Use your router’s web interface to determine the IP
address it assigns your gateway.
• Use your web browser to connect to your gateway using the assigned IP address.
You should be redirected to the Gateway Status page.
• Once the gateway interface has been reached, head over to the General Options tab
and select the Miscellaneous System Configuration page. Enable the HTTP interface
and set it to be available for one hour (3600 seconds). Select “Save Changes” when
completed.
• Note that each time a page is refreshed or every time the gateway restarts the HTTP
interface time resets. After it times out, the web interface will be disabled until either
the gateway restarts with a non-zero timeout value, or the special restart mode is
enabled using the utility button. After configuration set this to a small integer.
