5. Select “PulseWorx Gateway” from the “Interface Type” dropdown.
6. Press the “Discover PulseWorx Gateway” button. This should locate the Gateway’s IP address and port.
If it doesn’t find it then try again. If that still doesn’t work you will need to use other means to find out
the IP address – for example, look at your router device table. The default port used by the Gateway is
2101.
7. Once the IP address is found - or entered - then press the “Connect” button. You should leave the
username and password blank for now. You will see a “connection” dialog that shows the version
numbers of the two parts of the Gateway firmware. Close the dialog with “Close”.
8. Open your home UPB file into UPStart. You may have already had the UPB file open, which is also OK. If
you are starting a brand new home UPB file you may do this after you are connected to the Gateway.
9. Select in the ribbon the “PulseWorx Gateway” category. Press the “Location” button and set the location
by entering your zip code and then pressing the “Zip Code Lookup” button. If you are not in a location
covered by a US zip code then use the manual configuration button and enter all the necessary
information in that dialog. The location is necessary because the Gateway has an Astronomical Real
Time Clock inside and the location is necessary to determine Sunrise and Sunset every day.
Note: As soon as you press the “Location” button you may get a popup that says that the table isn’t
found. That’s as expected with a new Gateway, just clear the popup with OK. Once you close the
location setup dialog then several tables are generated and stored and a series of messages tell you
that. Just close those popups as they appear.
10. Press the “Time” button in the PulseWorx Gateway” ribbon category and in the time setting dialog
select the “Set to current time” option and press the “Set Gateway Clock” button. Close the dialog when
done. There is a battery backup for the real time clock in the Gateway so power outages will not affect
the clock once it is set. The battery will maintain the clock with no power for over 5 years and longer if
the Gateway is plugged in most of the time.
11. Press the “Users” button. Again, you may get a message saying the table doesn’t exist and if you do just
close the message popup. Enter a single user name and password. Write down the user name and
password so they are not forgotten. For now, just enable all the options for thus user by ticking each
box. You can enter additional users later. More about users and privileges are described later in this
User Guide. Close the dialog with OK.
12. At this point the Gateway is fully functional and all the same facilities of UPStart that worked with a
serial or USB connected PIM are functional. You can use Upstart to make or change an installation.
