BlueGate 2100 Introduction
1 Introduction
BlueGate™ 2100 provides access to a local area network (LAN) using wireless
technology. It is Bluetooth Specification 1.1 compliant.
Devices that can access the network through BlueGate 2100 are Personal Digital
Assistants (PDAs), computers, or other Bluetooth-enabled devices that support the
industry standard L
Specification Version 1.1.
Configuration information is saved in internal Non-Volatile Random Access Memory
(NVRAM) and preserved even when power is lost.
An on-board, internal Web server is accessed to set up, diagnose, and configure
BlueGate 2100.
A browser
1
is used to access the internal Web server from a computer on the same
network subnet.
From the browser, access the internal Web server to:
• Configure BlueGate 2100 for proper network operation.
• Change the user-friendly device name of BlueGate 2100.
• Access network diagnostic tools.
• View BlueGate 2100 network statistics.
• Upgrade BlueGate 2100 software.

BlueGate 2100 Installation
3 Installation
Before installing BlueGate 2100, you should be familiar with basic local area network
(LAN) and Bluetooth concepts.
For a non-technical overview of key Bluetooth concepts refer to Appendix A—An
Introduction To Bluetooth.
3.1 POWER CORD AND ETHERNET CABLE INSTALLATION
1. Mount BlueGate 2100 on the wall or ceiling or place it on a flat surface away
from heat, moisture, open flames, microwave devices, and 2.4 GHz
telecommunication devices (for example, 802.11b LAN adapters). See also the
RF Exposure Statement on page i.
NOTE: See Section 3.2 for additional information on mounting BlueGate 2100 on the wall
or ceiling.
2. Use the Ethernet cable provided in the kit to connect BlueGate 2100 to the local
area network. See Figure 1 for the location of BlueGate 2100’s Ethernet jack.
The Ethernet cable can be plugged into a network switch or network hub, or into
a hardwired wall jack that connects to the network. Consult your network
administrator if you are unsure of where or how to establish a physical
connection to the network.
Place the other end of the Ethernet cable securely into the Ethernet jack (RJ-45
connector) on BlueGate 2100. The Ethernet LED blinks off and on depending on
Ethernet activity.
Route the network cable away from other cables that may cause electrical
interference. Avoid routing the cable through areas where it will be stepped on,
tripped over, or damaged in any way.
NOTE: Telephone cables often use the same type of connector as network cables; some
wall plates, especially in office environments, have both telephone and network
jacks in the same wall plate. When connecting through a wall plate of this type
verify the physical connection between the jack and the network.
3. Insert the small circular power plug into the power jack on the back of
BlueGate 2100 and then plug the power supply into a wall outlet (120-220VAC,
60-50 Hz). When power is applied the bottom light emitting diode (LED) will
blink for 6 seconds and then stay on continuously.
If the LAN is 10Base-T or 100Base-T and a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) server is available, BlueGate 2100 is ready to use.

BlueGate 2100 Installation
3.2 W
Required materials and tools:
Install template and drywall anchors:
Mount BlueGate 2100:
ALL OR CEILING INSTALLATION
• Adhesive tape.
• #2 Philips head screwdriver or drill/driver with Philips bit.
NOTE: The self-drilling anchors are for drywall
installation only. The anchors are not
recommended for use in acoustical ceiling
tiles or other types of wall / ceiling materials.
1. Decide where BlueGate 2100 will be mounted keeping in mind:
The lengths of the Ethernet cable and power cord.
The location of the Bluetooth-enabled devices that will use BlueGate 2100’s
service. Typically devices must be within 30 meters of BlueGate 2100; walls
and other obstructions may shorten this distance.
2. Tape the mounting template to the installation location and use a nail or other
small pointed object to mark the locations of the screw anchors.
3. Remove the template.
4. Using a screwdriver or drill/driver, install the self-drilling drywall anchors:
a) Place the screwdriver or driver/drill into recess of anchor.
b) Press the anchor into the drywall while turning the anchor clockwise until it
is seated flush with the wall.
1. Slide the covers outward from the center of BlueGate 2100 to remove them.
NOTE: Do not lift or pry the covers.
2. Complete the power cord and Ethernet cable installation described in Section 3.1
(also described in the Start Here booklet).
3. Hold the base of BlueGate 2100 firmly against the wall or ceiling aligning the
device’s screw holes over the wall anchors.
4. Using the four (4) included Philips head screws, secure BlueGate 2100 to the
wall anchors.
5. Replace the covers.

BlueGate 2100 Reset BlueGate 2100
4 Reset BlueGate 2100
BlueGate 2100 can be reset to the factory-default reset parameters shown in Table 1 in
several ways:
1. From within BlueGate 2100’s internal Web server, click
Factory Defaults > Reset BlueGate to Factory Defaults Now.
OR
2. Press the hardware reset button (see Figure 1):
a) ALL CRITICAL PARAMETERS—hold the hardware reset button down
for more than five seconds to reset all critical Non-Volatile Random Access
Memory (NVRAM) parameters to their factory default settings (see Table 1).
BlueGate 2100 will reboot three seconds after the button is released.
b) ADMINISTRATOR’S USER NAME AND PASSWORD ONLY—press
the hardware reset button briefly (less than five seconds) to reset ONLY the
administrator’s user name and password to the factory default settings.
BlueGate 2100 does NOT reboot.

BlueGate 2100 Find BlueGate 2100’s IP address
5 Find BlueGate 2100’s IP address
BlueGate 2100 is set up and configured through an internal Web server.
To access BlueGate 2100’s internal Web server you must know the IP address assigned
to BlueGate 2100.
In a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) environment, BlueGate 2100’s
IP address is dynamically assigned by the DHCP server.
The FindIP application that discovers BlueGate 2100’s dynamically assigned IP address
is included on the BlueGate 2100 compact disc (see Section 5.1).
In a non-DHCP environment BlueGate 2100 defaults to a static IP address that can be
used to access the internal Web server (see Section 5.2).

5.1 IP ADDRESS IN A DHCP ENVIRONMENT
To discover the dynamically assigned IP address:
1. Insert the BlueGate 2100 compact disc into your CD-ROM drive and wait a few
seconds for the FindIP.exe application to auto-start. If the application does not
auto-start, from the Windows taskbar click
Letter (for example D:\) >
2. On the Welcome to Widcomm’s BlueGate Wizard screen, click
3. When prompted, enter the Media Access Control (MAC) Address from the serial
number label on BlueGate 2100 (Figure 2) located beneath the covers (Figure 1)
and click
4. FindIP returns the IP address. Select the check box to automatically open the
internal Web server home page and click

Start > Run > Drive Designation
FindIP.exe.
Next.
Next.
Finish.
NOTE: The FindIP application uses a UDP broadcast packet to interrogate BlueGate 2100
for its assigned IP address. UDP packets are not routed; be sure that a router is
not between BlueGate 2100 and the computer running FindIP.
Section 6 describes how to complete the logon process.

BlueGate 2100 Find BlueGate 2100’s IP address
5.2 IP A
DDRESS IN A NON-DHCP ENVIRONMENT
BlueGate 2100’s internal Web server can also be accessed using a static IP address.
When DHCP is enabled (factory default), the DHCP attempt must first timeout before
attempting to access BlueGate 2100’s internal Web server using the static IP address.
After the DHCP timeout (120 seconds), BlueGate 2100 uses the static IP address.
NOTE: The factory-default static IP address is: 192.168.0.1.
To access BlueGate 2100’s internal Web server using the static IP address, create a twonode private network between a single computer and BlueGate 2100:
1. Connect BlueGate 2100 and the computer (see Figure 3):
Solution One: use standard Ethernet cables to establish a connection through
a switch or hub.
Solution Two: use a crossover cable to create a direct connection. Figure 14
on page B-1 shows the connections for a crossover cable.
2. Configure the computer:
Static IP address of 192.168.0.2.
Subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
3. Start the browser and enter http://192.168.0.1 in the address field.
4. Click
Go or press the Enter key.
Section 6 describes how to complete the logon process.
NOTE: The default static IP address for BlueGate 2100 can be changed through
the Configuration > Network Settings option. If BlueGate 2100’s static IP address
has been reconfigured, enter the current address.
