Basic Operations
The Internet Gateway can configure, include, exclude and
-
control any Z-Wave Device.
The Internet Gateway can apply rules and events on your
-
Z-Wave network.
- The Internet Gateway can request all information from
other Z-Wave devices in the same network.
The Internet Gateway can be controlled by:
-
o
www.benext.eu
o Remote Display / Remote Controller
- Ultra Low Power Consumption.
Easy Plug and Play.

Mounting
1. The Internet Gateway can be mounted on a wall with the two mounting holes on the back, or simply
place the Internet Gateway on a flat surface.
2. First connect the Ethernet cable from your router/switch to the Internet Gateway.
3. Connect the AC adapter to the Internet Gateway and plug the AC adapter in a power outlet socket.
Indication modes
The indicator light gives various statuses of the device as follows:
A. Booting and checking firmware
When power is applied, the green and orange leds will blink while checking valid firmware.
After a few seconds the Internet Gateway is booted, the indicator light will turn orange.
B. Connecting to the benext server
After booting, the Internet Gateway tries to connect to the benext server. While the Internet Gateway
is trying to connect, the indicator light will be slowly blinking orange (once a second).
If the indicator light keeps blinking this way for more than a minute, there is probably something
wrong with your internet connection.
If the Internet Gateway is not able to connect to a network at all (no Ethernet cable, network auto-
configuration failed), the indicator light will blink orange twice a second.
C. Normal operation
The indicator light will be solid green. Z-Wave or benext Ethernet activity will cause the indicator light
to blink once: orange for Z-Wave activity, black (off) for Ethernet activity.
Functionality of the 'Learn' button
The Learn button, also located at the back of the Internet Gateway serves multiple purposes:
1. Send a Z-Wave 'Node information frame', which can be used to perform Z-Wave associations.
2. Include the Internet Gateway into another network, becoming either a 'Secondary' or 'Inclusion'
Controller (depending on the Z-Wave network type). Sometimes this is referred to as 'entering learn
mode'.
3. Delete all Z-Wave network information and create a new Z-Wave network ('Controller reset')
