Quick start: 

Internet

 

Gateway EU 

Technical specs 

Normal operating voltage 

12Vdc 

Frequency range 

868.42 MHz 

Wireless Range 

Min 150 meters in a mesh network 

Basic Operations 

The 

Internet Gateway

 can configure, include, exclude and 

control any Z-Wave Device. 

The 

Internet Gateway

 can apply rules and events on your  

Z-Wave network. 

The 

Internet Gateway 

can request all information from 

other Z-Wave devices in the same network. 

The 

Internet Gateway

 can be controlled by:  

o

  (PC, mobile, Tablet, iPod) 

o

 

Remote Display / Remote Controller 

Ultra Low Power Consumption. 

Easy Plug and Play.  

Mounting 

1.

 

The 

Internet Gateway

 can be mounted on a wall with the two mounting holes on the back, or simply 

place the Internet Gateway on a flat surface. 

2.

 

First connect the Ethernet cable from your router/switch to the 

Internet Gateway

3.

 

Connect the AC adapter to the

 Internet Gateway

 and plug the AC adapter in a power outlet socket.  

Indication modes 

The indicator light gives various statuses of the device as follows: 

A.

 

Booting and checking firmware 

When power is applied, the green and orange leds will blink while checking valid firmware. 
After a few seconds the 

Internet Gateway

 is booted, the indicator light will turn orange. 

B.

 

Connecting to the benext server

 

After booting, the Internet Gateway tries to connect to the benext server. While the Internet Gateway 
is trying to connect, the indicator light will be slowly blinking orange (once a second). 
If the indicator light keeps blinking this way for more than a minute, there is probably something 
wrong with your internet connection. 
If the Internet Gateway is not able to connect to a network at all (no Ethernet cable, network auto-
configuration failed), the indicator light will blink orange twice a second. 

C.

 

Normal operation

 

The indicator light will be solid green. Z-Wave or benext Ethernet activity will cause the indicator light 
to blink once: orange for Z-Wave activity, black (off) for Ethernet activity. 

Functionality of the ‘Learn’ button 

The Learn button, also located at the back of the Internet Gateway serves multiple purposes: 
 

 

1.

 

Send a Z-Wave ‘Node information frame’, which can be used to perform Z-Wave associations. 

2.

 

Include the Internet Gateway into another network, becoming either a ‘Secondary’ or ‘Inclusion’ 

Controller (depending on the Z-Wave network type).  Sometimes this is referred to as ‘entering learn 
mode’. 

3.

 

Delete all Z-Wave network information and create a new Z-Wave network (‘Controller reset’)
