VI. USING THE LOCAL INTERFACE
If using iMonnit is not an option, you can set up your gateway and sensors offline through
the local interface.
•
Connect the gateway to a router or network swtich using an Ethernet cord.
•
Plug in the gateway to a power outlet.
•
Power on the gateway. By default, you will only have five minutes to access the
gateway.
•
Use a PC on the local network to access your router’s configuration page first (see
your router documentation). Use your router’s web interface to determine the IP
address it assigns your gateway.
•
Use your web browser to connect to your gateway using the assigned IP address.
You should be redirected to the Gateway Status page.
•
Once the gateway interface has been reached, head over to the General Options
tab and select the Miscellaneous System Configuration page. Enable the HTTP
interface and set it to be available for one hour (3600 seconds). Select “Save
Changes” when completed.
•
Note that each time a page is refreshed or every time the gateway restarts the
HTTP interface time resets. After it times out, the web interface will be disabled
until either the gateway restarts with a non-zero timeout value, or the special restart
mode is enabled using the utility button. After configuration set this to a small
integer.
