Gateway Commissioning & Start-up Guide

Gateway MAC  The media access control (MAC) address is a unique identifier assigned to hardware to enable net 

work communications at the data link layer. The MAC address for the L Gateway is assigned at the 

factory and can assist in LAN setup and troubleshooting.

Cloud 

Cloud computing is a computing infrastructure for enabling access to shared pools of resources (e.g. 

computer servers). The cloud address shown in the Systems Information menu can be used when requested 

by L staff for troubleshooting purposes.

Gateway 

The terms “firmware” and “software” are often used interchangeably. The software version shown in the 

Software 

Systems Information menu reflects the latest version that is installed on the L Gateway. 

This information can be used when requested by support staff for troubleshooting purposes.

API Version 

The Application Programming Interface (API) is essentially the language that the system uses to send 

commands between the cloud, L Gateway and the mobile app.  This information can be 

used when requested by support staff for troubleshooting purposes.

Model 

The model number is related to the physical hardware version. This information can be used when 

requested by support staff for troubleshooting purposes.

Gateway 

Indicates whether the active mobile device is on the same LAN as the L Gateway (local) or 

Connection 

on a different LAN than the L Gateway (remote).  This information can be used when requested 

by support staff for troubleshooting purposes.

Gateway State  The state will reflect the gateway state, such as reflecting “Pairing” when the Gateway is in the process 

of being registered to the network. This information can be used when requested by support staff for 

troubleshooting 

purposes.

Uptime 

The number listed beside uptime will reflect the number of minutes of continuous power to the 

Gateway.

Email Support Request

Tapping the “Email Support Request” button can be used to directly email the L support team. This feature will draft 

a new email within the default email application on the mobile device and is only available on devices that are configured with 

a default email application. Mobile device data charges may apply.

End User License Agreement

Before using the L Mobile App, acceptance of the End User License Agreement (EULA) 

must be confirmed. For reference, a copy of the EULA is available within the Help menu.

To view the applicable End User License Agreement, tap the “End User License Agreement” button 

within the Help menu to launch the EULA.

When finished, tap “Agree” to revert to the Zones View.
