Turn on your laptop’s wireless network card.
Press and release black button on the X2e once. The X2e will enter into a
special access point mode (network indicator turns solid orange) for five
minutes.
While the network indicator is solid orange, check for wireless networks
available to your laptop. The X2e will appear as cpx2e-zb-xxxxxxxxxx,
where xxxxxxxxxx is the serial number of the gateway.
Connect to the X2e’s wireless network.
Mount using supplied velcro. For the best signal strength mount gateway
with logo side facing TankScan monitors.

Locate gateway near 115 VAC outlet that is close to TankScan monitor. It is okay to place gateway in a different room than
TankScan monitor but limit the number of walls and distance between them. Metal walls will weaken signals significantly
while other material types will also weaken signals but with less impact.
