Chapter 3 | Configuration
5. Under Configure IPv4, change “DHCP” to “Manually” (see figure 65). In case this option is already set, note the
values below IP address, subnet mask, router and DNS server to restore them at a later time.

6. Under IP address, enter 192.168.0.200, for example. For the subnet mask, enter 255.255.255.0 if this value is
not entered automatically.
7. Accept the settings by clicking on “Apply”. Your Mac is now in the same network as the gateway is.
8. Configure the gateway as described in section “Network Configuration”.
9. After successfully configuring the network settings of your gateway, it should now be available in your existing
network environment. To undo the changes to the network settings of your MAC, follow the steps 1 to 5.
In the “Network” window in item 5, change the setting to “DHCP” if you previously used DHCP, or change the
values below IP address, subnet mask, router and DNS server to the previously noted values if your MAC has
used a static network configuration.
3.10 Controlling the ZigBee network on the road
In order to control your ZigBee network while on the move, several settings in your router and your BEGA Gateway
app have to be configured first.
The following adjustments have to be done:
1. Port forwarding via NAT (Network Address Translation) in case the gateway does not obtain a public address. All
requests from the internet will automatically be directed to the gateway by the router.
2. Public address: In order for the app to find the router, its IP address must be known. If your router does not ob-
tain a static IP address, setting up a DDNS provider is necessary here, for example. If the router does not obtain
a public address, but only one from the “private” address pool via NAT (often the case for LTE routers), you have
the option of setting up a VPN tunnel, for example.
3. Configuring the app settings.
