USING THE ETHERNET GATEWAY 4
UNDERSTANDING THE ETHERNET GATEWAY 4 LIGHTS
The gateway will enter three stages as it powers on:
Power-on stage:
The gateway will analyze electronics and programming. The LED
lights will flash red and green, before all becoming green for one second and entering a
“waterfall” pattern. In case of failure, the light sequence will repeat after ten seconds. The
gateway will continue trying to boot until it succeeds. Please contact technical support if
the lights aren’t green after two minutes.
Connection stage:
When the LEDs turn solid green for 1.5 seconds, the power-on stage
will be complete. After the Network Uplink Connectivity Indicator displays a solid green
LED, the gateway will attempt to begin making connections to it’s default server and other
configured surfaces. The gateway will attempt to settle all operational connections. As the
gateway first connects to the network, all other lights will be dark.
Operational stage:
All of the lights will remain green while powered externally, unless
there is an issue. A blinking link light is a signal that the gateway has encountered an issue
in the network.

Steady Green: Communication with sensors is normal.
Blinking Green: Active communication with sensors.
Steady Red: Gateway hardware may be faulty
Steady Green: Communication with the default server is ok.
Blinking Green: Active communication with the default server
Steady Red: Last communication with the data interface was
unsuccessful. This could signal an issue with the default server.
Steady Green: Network connection successful.
Steady Red: No Network connection has been made.
1.
Connect your antenna to the gateway.
2.
Plug the power supply cord and the network cable into an outlet.
3.
After the three LED lights switch to green, your gateway is ready to use.
The back of your gateway will look like the diagram below:
From left to right, we see:
Power:
This is where your power cord will be plugged into.
Network:
This is the socket where your Ethernet cord will go.
Utility Button:
A short, five second, press of this button will enable the local interface.
Pressing the utility button for fifteen seconds will reset the gateway.
