Gateway Commissioning & Start-up Guide
Local User Control Without Account Credentials
For users that desire local control and have no reason for remote connectivity, connection to the gateway is available without
entering account credentials.
To connect a device to the gateway without using account credentials, a wireless connection to the LAN is necessary for the
mobile device to be used for local control. For additional security, physical access to the gateway will be required to ensure
that a user has access to the device and is, therefore, authorized for system control and configuration.
Ensure that Wi-Fi is enabled on the mobile device, and search through the available Wi-Fi network to find the Wireless Net-
work Name (SSID) for the appropriate network. If any difficulties are encountered joining the wireless network, please contact
the systems administrator for the network.
From the “Get Started” screen, tap “Setup” to advance to the “Local Gateway” page.
The process for finding and confirming the gateway will be identical to the process outlined
previously in this document.
Zone, device and schedule settings are stored on the gateway and will be visible to the user
once the local gateway connection is confirmed.
Once the mobile device has confirmed connectivity to the gateway, local control of the
gateway will occur anytime the device is on the wireless network.
Remote Connectivity
The L Gateway supports remote connectivity for control and configuration while off-site from the building location.
The L Mobile App contacts L servers (the L “cloud”), which can relay messages through the
Internet to the already-configured L Gateway.
Note: Local users with access to the LAN over a wireless connection will experience lower latency in reaching the L
Gateway than would a command through remote connectivity.
Once the app has been downloaded and account credentials are saved, the mobile device will be able to remotely connect to
the L Gateway anytime an Internet connection is available. The L Gateway must be connected to a LAN
with Internet access for this feature to work.
