Configuration When setting up your Gateway for the first time, the first thing you should do is to configure the IP address. The following topics are covered in this chapter: IP Search Utility Setup Web Browser Configuration...
IP Search Utility Setup Copy “CvIotFinder Setup.exe” from CD ROM to your host computer. “CvIotFinder” is a self-extract-install program. Double click it to install this Wi-Fi IP Searching tool into host computer. Upon running IP search tool (CvIotFinder), if a firewall warning pop up, please click to accept the program pass through firewall.

1.3 NTP: Enable / Disable NTP function; Set up NTP server and Time Zone. 1.4 Firmware update: If necessary, click “Browse” to open file manager. Then, select the file with specified version and click “open” button. When the selected file name appears on the input column, click “Update” button. 1.5 Up to now, Setup is successfully configured.
Network setup 2.1 Wireless section: 2.1.1 Type: Click to select “Access Point” or “Infrastructure”. “Infrastructure” is for connecting to a local Router. 2.1.2 If select “ACCESS POINT”, input password for the AP and assign IP address with “DHCP” or “STATIC”.
Page 17
2.1.3 When selected “ACCESS POINT”, this Device acts as an Access Point which is allowed to be connected by PC /NB /Smart Phone/ PAD. It supports DHCP server function. Soft AP broadcasts its SSID “CVIoT_XX_XX_XX_XX_XX_XX”. PC /NB /Smart Phone/PAD should connect to this SSID and then able to open web browser with default IP of this Device.
Page 18
2.1.7 If The Type selected with “Infrastructure”, set SSID of Router and the other inputs. 2.1.8 Go to item SSID, click “Scan” will get list of available SSID of Access Points, select the one in your network to link. For example: 2.1.9 On the NB/PC, choose same SSID to link.
