6. Under IP address, enter 192.168.0.200, for example. For the subnet mask, enter 255.255.255.0, in case
this value is not entered automatically.
7. Accept the settings by clicking on "Apply". Your Mac is now in the same network as the gateway is.
8. Configure the gateway as described in section "Network Configuration".
9. After successfully configuring the network settings of your gateway, it should now be available in your
existing network environment. To undo the changes to the network settings of your MAC, follow the steps 1
to 5. In the "Network" window, as in step 5, change the setting to "DHCP", if you previously used DHCP or
change the values below IP address, subnet mask, router and DNS server to the previously noted values, if
your MAC has used a static network configuration (see figure 59).

3.10 Controlling Smart Home on the road

In order to control your Smart Home System while on the move, several settings in your router and your Smart
Home app have to be configured first.
The following adjustments have to be done:
1. Port forwarding via NAT (Network Address Translation), in case the gateway does not obtain a public
address. All requests from the internet will automatically be directed to the gateway by the router.
2. Public address: In order for the app to find the router, its IP address must be known. If your router does not
obtain a static IP address, setting up a DDNS provider is necessary here, for example. If the router does
not obtain a public address, but only one from the "private" address pool via NAT (often the case for LTE
routers), you have the option of setting up a VPN tunnel, for example.
3. Configuring the app settings.

3.10.1 Configuring the internet router

In order for your router to allow communication between the mobile end devices and your Smart Home gateway,
you have to set up port forwarding. For this, the TCP port 8888 of your Smart Home gateway has to be directed
to the outside.
