STARTER KIT INSTALLATION MANUAL

INTRODUCTION TO YOUR AT&T REMOTE MONITOR STARTER KIT ///

Thank you for your purchase of the AT&T Remote Monitor Starter Kit. The XG1000 Controller (the terms “Controller” and “Gateway” should be viewed as synonomous), a small dedicated computer, allows you to access and control cameras and other devices in your home, and make this information available to you wherever you are. You can access the XG1000 from any PC (must be running Windows XP or 2000) with an internet connection anywhere in the world. You can even use the XG1000 from your cell phone. You only need to use a PC to set up your XG1000. From then on, no PC is required for the XG1000 to function.

The system uses IP cameras. These are devices that communicate through normal internet cabling. If you do not wish to run new Ethernet wiring in your home, you can use Power Line Communication modules (PLC’s) to use the existing power outlets in your home, instead. Two of these modules are included in the starter kit.

In addition to the cameras, you can also use sensor modules in your home to monitor temperature, detect a door or window opening, wet conditions and motion. These are battery powered devices that communicate wirelessly with the controller. You can even turn lights and appliances on and off, by purchasing optional power controllers.

If you have a JAVA enabled wireless phone from AT&T, you can access most of the controller functions remotely through the phone. You need to download an application to your wireless phone from AT&T to do this. Other cell phones can receive text notifications, but cannot view live video or control devices.

Please check the contents of your starter kit prior to starting installation. In addition to

the items supplied in the kit you will also need a DSL/Cable Modem or other high speed internet connection, a router - or home network device - with at least two unused ports, and a Windows XP or 2000 PC to set up the XG1000 Controller.

The PC you will be using to install the system needs to be on the same router or local network as the XG1000 Controller. After the installation, you can access the system from any PC connected

to the Internet.

Your Internet connection and router should be functional before proceeding with this installation. As part of the purchase, you will have set up a AT&T Remote Monitor Account; you will need the UserID and Password that you created for this account later in the setup procedure.

HARDWARE INSTALLATION:

FOLLOW THE STEPS BELOW SET UP YOUR AT&T REMOTE MONITOR STARTER KIT:

1. Take the XG1000 Controller AC Power Supply [A1] from your controller box. Plug the small end into the port marked Power on your XG1000 Controller [X1] and plug the other end into an AC electrical outlet.

2. Connect supplied Ethernet Cable [E1] to the LAN Ethernet port of the XG1000 Controller [X1] and connect the other end to a free Ethernet port on your router.

4. Bring your IP Camera [C1], AC Power Supply [A2], HomePlug Turbo PLC Ethernet Adapter [H2], and Ethernet Cable [E3] to the location in your home that you wish to install your IP Camera [C1].

Connect one end of the Ethernet Cable [E3] to the LAN port of the IP Camera [C1] and connect the other end to the port on the bottom of the HomePlug Turbo PLC Ethernet Adapter [H2]. Plug the HomePlug Turbo PLC Ethernet Adapter [H2] into an AC electrical outlet.

Plug the small end of the AC Power Supply [A2] into your IP Camera [C1] AC Adapter port and the other end into an AC electrical outlet.

3. Connect one end of Ethernet Cable [E2] to the port on the bottom of the HomePlug Turbo PLC Ethernet Adapter [H1]. Connect the other end to a second free port on your router.

NOTE: You can connect a network hub or switch to any available Ethernet port on your router, if you need additional ports.

Plug the HomePlug Turbo PLC Ethernet Adapter [H1] into an AC electrical outlet. For best results plug the HomePlug Turbo PLC Ethernet Adapter modules into a free AC wall outlet

directly or, if not possible, into an AC power strip that has no other AC Power Supply plugged into it. The length of the power strip cord, or separate extension cord, should be no more than 5 feet and it should not be coiled.

Once plugged into the AC electrical outlet, the LED’s light up on the front of the HomePlug Turbo PLC Ethernet Adapter [H1] should light up. If the LED’s do not light up on the front of the HomePlug Turbo PLC Ethernet Adapter [H1], please confirm that there is AC power coming to the outlet.

NOTE: If you prefer not to use the HomePlug Turbo PLC Ethernet Adapters, you may connect the IP Camera directly to your router or other Ethernet port in your home instead.

An example of the completed configuration can be found below.
