POWER UP
Connect RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the Gateway.
THEN, apply power to the Gateway using the sup-
plied transformer. Upon connection, the Gateway au-
tomatically begins searching for a valid IP address
from the network.
Valid IP Address - LED Indication
Upon power up, watch the 3 LEDs on the Gateway
cover carefully to determine if the Gateway receives a
valid IP address. Be patient; this process could take
up to 1 minute. After applying power, the Red LED
will blink slowly while searching for an IP address.
●
If the GREEN LED turns on solid for 3 seconds,
the Gateway received a valid IP address from the
network! The Yellow LED will turn on solid and the
Green LED will flicker indicating the Gateway is
ready for Discovery by DL-Windows (not config-
ured).
●
If the RED LED turns on solid for 3 seconds
(after 3 attempts to receive an IP address from the
network), the Gateway was unable to receive a val-
id IP address from the network. However, the Yel-
low LED will still turn on solid and the Green
LED will still flicker. Do not confuse this with the
above valid IP address indication.
Refer to the flowchart for a visual representation of the
above process:
Next, reset the Gateway as follows:
Reset the Gateway
IMPORTANT: Before securing the Gateway hous-
ing cover, ALWAYS reset the Gateway memory, even
if the Gateway is new "out of the box" and/or has nev-
er been used previously.
After initial power up, press and hold the RESET but-
ton (see below for location); continue to hold the but-
ton until the red LED turns on solid. Now, release the
button and the green LED will flicker rapidly.
Always reset the Gateway for new installations; you

can also reset the Gateway any time after the Gate-
way is powered. Two levels of reset exist, a "Normal"
reset and "Factory" reset, as follows:
Normal Reset: Clears Gateway memory and user
data allowing for re-discovery by DL-Windows. Press
and hold the RESET button until the Red LED turns on
solid, then release the button and the Green LED will
start to flicker rapidly.
Factory Reset: Clears Gateway memory, user data
and configuration data (such as static IP information),
thus returning the unit to its original factory settings.
Press and hold the RESET button, the Red LED turns
on solid; keep holding until the Yellow LED also turns
on solid. Release the button; the Yellow LED will re-
main on solid, and the Green LED will start to flicker
rapidly, indicating a full factory reset.
Note: Resetting the Gateway (Normal or Factory)
does NOT cause the Gateway to search for a new IP
address. After a reset, power cycle the Gateway to
initiate a new IP search.
