Connect Gateway to Internet

  • Locate the modem or router that provides an internet connection to customer’s property.
  • Thread articulated antenna (yellow bands) onto coax connector on gateway.
  • Connect gateway to customer’s router or modem with ethernet cable.
  • Connect gateway to power with adapter.  Orient connector as shown (ridges on top) and gently push the connector into power port.

 

  • All three lights will come on, then the blue and green lights will go off.
  • In about sixty seconds, the blue light will come on, and then a few seconds later, the green light will come on.

  • If no blue light, there is no connection to the internet – 1) check cable connection between router and gateway, 2) try another port on router, 3) confirm customer’s wifi network is available.
  • If blue light, but no green light, there is no connection to the iMist database.  Port 1883 is blocked or iMist server is down.
