General Installation Guidelines
Be consistent. All installations should match in appearance where possible (including centering,
location, method for securing extra wire, etc.).
Be neat. Ensure installation is straight and vertical or horizontal as much as possible.
Install Gateways on flat smooth surfaces such as the tops of server cabinets. Gateways should
not be installed in hot aisles or in any location that violates environmental specifications.
Use adhesive cable clips to keep cable and AC Power Adapter wires neat and contained.
Each Gateway installation location should have a 110/240VAC outlet and an Ethernet port
within a few feet.
Ensure Gateway installations should not be in areas where concrete walls, support pillars,
large cable bundles, air ducting, or other metal enclosures can block the signals at close
range.
Keep installation area clean.
NOTE: To save time, it is best to configure all Gateway devices first, and then mount the Gateways
in the desired locations in the data center.
Configuring the Gateway
Prior to mounting each Gateway module in its assigned position in the data center, take a laptop,
Ethernet cable and all the Gateways to a comfortable location near a power outlet (e.g. break room,
data center IT office) and configure the Gateway IP addresses and subnet masks.
NOTE: SynapSense may have performed the Gateway configuration prior to shipment.
If configuration is complete, proceed to Installing the Gateway
.
If configuration is not complete, or to change an IP address, perform all installation activities.
Static IP addresses and open ports for each of the Gateways should already be assigned by the
data center’s IT department and ready for use.
To connect the gateway to the laptop
1. Connect the Power Adaptor cord to the Gateway. Plug into an outlet.
2. With an Ethernet cable, connect the Gateway Configuration Port to a laptop that is loaded with
an Internet browser.
3. The Radio Activity LED should be OFF and the Unit Status LED will blink RED continuously to
indicate the unit is ON.
