INSTALLATION CHECKLIST
The gateway needs to be connected to a modem or
router with an available Ethernet port. When there is
no Ethernet port available, please ask your internet
service provider or a nearby computer store how
you can add more Ethernet ports to your home
network.
The gateway should be connected to your power
grid using the 230V power supply unit included.
Please make sure you can place the gateway near
a socket.
Mounting the gateway and the accessories using
the adhesive strips and Velcro included is easy.
You can also mount the accessories using the
screws and plugs included. You will then need a
pencil and a drill.
Ethernet cable: if the yellow Ethernet cable is too
short make sure that you only use cables that meet
the specifications of the Ethernet cable included.
We recommend you use CAT5E TP (UTP or STP)
cables. A cable with other specifications can cause
connection failures. Please ask a nearby computer
store about the correct cable to use.
Plugs: you will hear and feel a click when you have
correctly connected the Ethernet cable to the
devices.
5
MAC address: please make a note of the last six
characters of your gateway's MAC address. You
will find the MAC address on the sticker labelled
"MAC Address", which is located on the side of
the gateway.

You will need these six characters to register your
gateway.
STEP 1: CONNECTING YOUR GATEWAY
The gateway is now being connected to the Internet
and is being powered.
The gateway is connected to an available Ethernet
port in your modem or router using an Ethernet
cable. In many cases, you will find your modem or
your router near your electricity meter, in your living
room or near your computer.
1. Place the gateway near the modem or the router. It
should also be located near a socket (or use a 230V
extension cord). Please note! Place the gateway at
least 50 cm away from the modem or router to
avoid interference.
2. Connect the yellow Ethernet cable to the gateway's
Ethernet port. You will find this port on the side of the
gateway labelled "Ethernet".
3. Insert the loose end of the Ethernet cable into an
available Ethernet port on your modem or router.
4. Insert the power adapter's small plug into the
gateway's power connection port. You will find this
port on the side of the gateway labelled "Power".
