The g1 may be used as a standalone system controller with or as an Extender to any gSC controller or
a HC controller running g!6.6 or greater. Please check the ELAN Training Guide for g1 control capabilities.
The ELAN g! Training Guide contains valuable hardware and software reference documentation and is
considered an important supplement to this document. You would have received the training guide while
attending g!School, however the ELAN g! Training Guide is updated regularly. Make sure you have the latest
version by visiting the ELAN Dealer website at www.elanhomesystems.com and following the “dealer” link.
Note: The g1 does not have a ViaNET connection. If your installation has devices that require
ViaNET communication you will need to connect an ELAN SC1 to the serial RS-232 port.

OSD
The g1 supplies an On Screen Display (OSD) interface via HDMI.
Connect the OSD output to an available input on either your
monitor or your AVR. Note which monitor/AVR input is used. It will be
needed when confi guring the OSD.
Installing the HDMI Retention Bracket
A bracket is included to assist in keeping the HDMI cable plugged
into the g1. After inserting the HDMI cable, remove the screw above
the HDMI connector and use the screw to secure the HDMI Retention

Bracket to the g1. Depending on the size of your HDMI cable you may
need to use a small wire tie to hold the cable to the bracket.
USB connection
Some accessories may be connected to the g1’s USB connector. Refer to the ELAN Integration Note
for the device prior to connection.
LAN/POE Connection
Connect the Ethernet connection to an available 10/100 Mbps port on the network. This is the
preferred connection. The g1 may be powered over Ethernet (PoE). PoE connection must meet
the minimum requirements of IEEE 802.3at, Type I (48 VDC, 350 mA).
RESET Switch
Located on the underside of the unit is the recessed RESET
switch. When pressed momentarily the RESET switch will clear
RESET
the static IP setup and return the g1 to DHCP as well as reset
the WiFi confi guration to factory default. When pressed and held
for more than 15 seconds the programming of the current g!
software version will be reset to default. Pressing RESET while
applying power will reset the software to the factory version.
Mount the g1 in the desired location
1
The g1 is designed to mount on a shelf, hang in a cabinet or rack, or mount in a structured wiring enclosure.
Shelf Mounting: The g1 has rubber feet to protect fi nished surfaces. Set the g1 in a location that
will allow you to properly manage connected wiring so that tension is not placed on the connections.
The g1 is relatively small and wire tension will cause the unit to move and may cause wires to become
disconnected.
Wall Mounting: The g1 chassis has been designed to allow convenient wall mounting in any orientation.
The g1 wall mounts using standard “sheetrock” type screws (not included). It is recommended that the
g1 be mounted to wood. When mounting the g1 to sheetrock, appropriate anchors are recommended.
Arrows on the rear panel may be used to mark the location for the screws. Mark the screw locations,
mount the screws leaving approx. 3/16” (5mm) of screw exposed and slide the g1 over the screws.
Use arrows to mark
screw holes.
Leave a
3/16 “ gap
between screw
heads and wall.

Connecting to the g1 on your wired network
The g1 is set from the factory for DHCP networking, which means it receives its IP address from the
network router. Use g!Tools to fi nd the address and connect to the g1.
Connecting to the g1 on your wireless network
IR Input Connection
6
Plug the included Xantech DL95 IR sensor into IR IN. The g1 supplies power to the IR receiver.
Other Xantech IR sensors are compatible with the g1 should your application require it.
The g1 is fully compatible with ELAN’s Wi-Fi hand held remote controls and smart device interfaces.
If using one of these devices as the primary control interface for the g1 it is not necessary to install the
IR sensor. NOTE: If you do not install the IR senor the included IR remote will not work.
The g1’s wireless radio may be confi gured by fi rst connecting the unit to a wired network connection
and following the wireless confi guration instructions found in the ELAN g! Training Manual or using the
OSD. To confi gure via OSD turn on the TV, select the g1 HDMI input, then point the g1 remote at the IR
sensor and press then MUTE then ENTER in quick succession. Follow the on-screen instructions
and using the g1 remote enter the appropriate network information. Once completed you will be able
to access the g1 from your laptop and g!Tools using only the WiFi network.
Software upgrade
14
Prior to confi guring the product, upgrade the g1 software to the latest version of g! Core Module.
Core Module can be found on the ELAN dealer website. The g1 is not compatible with g! Core Module
releases prior to g!7.0.
