7 Appendix A. Advanced ēKo Gateway Administration
This section describes advanced administration features of the ēKo gateway that involves
accessing the Linux operating system running on the gateway.
7.1 GatewayFinder tool to find the IP address of your ēKo gateway
In order to connect to the ēKo gateway its hostname or IP address has to be known. Some
networks will resolve the hostname properly so knowing the gateway’s IP address is not
required. Most home routers do not support the means to use the hostname. In those cases users
will need to use the IP address of the ēKo gateway device. The GatewayFinder tool can help scan
and find the IP address.
1.
The hostname is determined by the prefix
eko-xxxxx
where xxxxx is the 5-digit serial
number that can be found on the sticker attached to the bottom of the device (e.g., SN =
00006 -> hostname is
eko-00006
).
2.
Install GatewayFinder by double-clicking on
GatewayFinderSetup_<version>.exe
file
found on the CD.
3.
The Setup wizard would guide you through the installation process. Make sure to check
all the installation options (you will need Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0)
4.
Run GatewayFinder from Windows
Start>Programs>Crossbow>GatewayFinder
.
5.
In the GatewayFinder GUI, click on
Scan
.
6.
Allow sometime for the scanning to complete and the GUI would display a list the ēKo
gateway gateways that were found in your network.
