Note
Always use the Pace power adapter packaged with the gateway, as it is compliant with the local
regulatory requirements.
Connecting Your Computer to the Gateway
The first computer you connect to the gateway is used to configure the gateway for proper operation. You can
connect your gateway to additional computers and/or other devices via Ethernet cable and wireless AP.
Connecting through Local Ethernet
The gateway has four Ethernet ports for connecting computers or devices to the gateway. Use the Ethernet
interface(s) on the gateway to create a home network.
To connect the computer and the gateway using the Ethernet cable:
1.
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable (yellow-colored) to any available LOCAL ETHERNET port on the
gateway.
2.
Connect the cable’s other end to the Ethernet port of the Network Interface Card (NIC) on the
computer.
After the gateway recognizes the computer, the relevant
Ethernet
LED turns steady green, and then starts
flickering once the computer starts data transfer with the gateway.

Connecting through Wireless

gateway. By default, the gateway is shipped with pre-enabled WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK and a pre-configured
network name.
