Getting Started
To unbox your OATI GridPort, remove the GridPort, AC power adapter, and network cable (if
applicable) from the packaging. Please be sure to read all instructions and safety information
prior to powering up your GridPort.
The first step to setting up your GridPort is to select an install location. Depending on the
purchased model, your Gridport may have Wi-Fi
®
, Ethernet, or both. Please select the
connection method that is appropriate for your GridPort model and installation location (See
Section 2.1 Establish Internet Connection). Please see sections 6 and 7 for installation
restrictions.
After the location has been selected, use the included AC power adapter to power your
GridPort. Plug the AC power adapter into a 120v wall outlet and the device-end connector
into the GridPort. The Power Light (refer to Status Indicator section) will turn green
indicating the GridPort has powered up. The Status Light will blink red in a heartbeat rhythm
during system startup. Once the system has completed its startup, the Network Light will
blink red indicating the GridPort is ready for a network connection.

errors.
