Priva
Via Wi-Fi
Make sure the Wi-Fi dongle is inserted into one of the Gateway's USB ports before starting Gateway
setup. After starting Gateway setup, it takes a few minutes before the Gateway's Wi-Fi network can
be seen in the list of wireless network connections on your laptop or mobile device.
By default, the Gateway name begins with PRIVADA- followed by a number of characters. Establish
the Wi-Fi connection between your laptop and the Gateway. The Wi-Fi password is welcome@priva.
Open a web browser (Internet Explorer, Chrome, Edge or Firefox) and go to http://192.168.137.1 or
http://PRIVADA-xxxxxxx to start Gateway setup.
Via wired network connection
Go to the Ethernet properties of your laptop's network card and choose an IP address in the Gateway
range, for instance IP address 172.16.1.134 (192.168.1.134 for older systems) with subnet mask
255.255.255.0.
Connect your laptop to the first network port (ETH1 or LAN1) on the Gateway using a network cable.
Open a web browser (Internet Explorer, Chrome, Edge or Firefox) and go to http://172.16.1.1 (or
http://192.168.1.2 for older systems) or http://PRIVADA-xxxxxxx to start Gateway setup.
Gateway setup
Update Gateway software
The first time that Gateway setup launches, it will prompt you to update the Gateway software. Choose
Select update file to update the software with the Gateway setup file from the preparation stage. The
file will then be uploaded to the Gateway, which verifies the file. The Gateway update process may
take up to 15 minutes.
Once the update has been completed, the home screen will reappear. To continue, select Not now;
the update has already been carried out.
Creating authorisations
No authorisations are defined in the factory settings; you select them yourself. The first step is to
select a 5-digit PIN code that protects access to Gateway setup and Compass setup. Save this code
carefully!
Next, you create a user name for the Operator in the format of an e-mail address, such as
name@companyname.com. The Gateway also uses this user name as a temporary password for
logging on to the Operator for the first time. When logging on for the first time, the user changes
this temporary password to a password of his/her choice. Save the user name and password carefully!
Tab: settings
You will now be taken to the Settings tab of Gateway setup. Select Edit next to the Time zone to choose
the correct time zone for the location in which the Compass has been installed. You should also set
the correct date and time.
You can also rename the Compass. Bear in mind that the name PRIVADA-xxxxxxx will change and
that you must use the new name (if there is a DNS server) or IP address in the browser to access
the Gateway setup and the local Operator. The use of punctuation marks, such as spaces, '@', '/' and
'#', in the name is not allowed.
Tab: network
The Compass is supplied with default IP addresses. These must be changed to prevent network
conflicts. Compare the IP address with your home address; it must be unique to ensure that mail
arrives correctly.
Ethernet 1 is intended for connecting the Gateway to your office network. By default, this port
automatically receives an IP address from your office network. This will generally work well, but it
depends on your office network. Your IT administrator can give you more information on that.
