Antennas C and D (blank on SL 1000) If Wi Fi option installed, then attach Wi Fi antennas here. Always install both antennas. Note that the Wi Fi antennas do not include a center wire in their connector. This differentiates Wi Fi antennas from cellular antennas. Cell Aux and Cell Main If cellular option installed, then attach cellular antennas here. Cell Main is required. Cell Aux is optional for improved connectivity and speed. Note that the cellular antennas have a center wire that inserts into the gateway s cellular antenna connector. This differentiates Wi Fi antennas from cellular antennas. USB port USB 2.0 type A connector. Used for optional external devices. LAN port Local Ethernet connectivity, usually used to attach additional local LAN devices (or local network hub) to the network. WAN/LAN port Source for Internet connectivity, usually connected to broadband modem or a local network that provides Internet access. May optionally be configured for local Ethernet connectivity, usually used to attach additional local LAN devices (or local network hub) to the network. Brass inserts The four brass inserts, located near the four corners of the gateway, may be used for optional bracket hardware. This may be useful for DIN rail mounting, for example.

4 Set Up Your New Gateway Hardware STEP 1 Antennas If your gateway includes cellular or Wi Fi, please install the included antennas. The cellular antennas must be screwed into the terminals of the gateway labeled Cell Main and Cell Aux. The two cellular antennas look identical. To differentiate between the cellular and Wi Fi antennas, take a look at the screw connector at the end of the antenna. The screw connector of the cellular antenna includes a single prong sticking out in the center of the connector. Cellular Antenna (with prong) The Wi Fi antennas must be screwed into the terminals of the gateway labeled Ant C and Ant D. The two W Fi antennas look identical. The screw connector at the end of the Wi Fi antennas include a center hole, and do not have a prong in the center of the connector. DHCP, then connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to your Internet router or hub. Then go directly to the next step. If your network requires the use of a static IP addresses, then review the Access Local Configuration Settings section (below), and configure the appropriate network settings. STEP 3 Power Connect the included power supply to the gateway, and apply power. When first powered, the Status LED will initially be orange. Other LEDs will turn on or off during the initialization sequence. After a few minutes, the Status LED will blink green about once per second. This indicates that the gateway has completed its core initialization. Other LEDs may also be turned on at this point. Your gateway may include other, specialized software or hardware. If this is the case, the initialization process may require additional time. For example, if you have a Z Wave radio installed, the Z Wave initialization continues beyond the core initialization, and is complete sometime after the Z Wave LED light turns on. At this point, your gateway is ready for use. If SIM installation, or special gateway configurations are required, then continue with this guide. Also, if you are interested in remote access or control of the Internet of Things, then read the SysSCRIPT section of this guide. Wi Fi Antenna (without prong) STEP 2 Internet Connectivity If you are using cellular connectivity for the Internet, then go to the SIM Installation step. Once the SIM is installed, no other Internet Connectivity configuration is required. Then go to the Power Step, below. If you are using Ethernet connectivity for the Internet, then plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the gateway connector labeled WAN/LAN. If your network supports dynamic IP addresses, or Cellular Installation & Configuration SIM card Installation If you are using cellular connectivity, then a SIM card may be required. No SIM is needed for most CDMA and EVDO networks. However, HSPA+ and LTE networks require a SIM. SIM installation may be already been done by your reseller. In that case, you may skip this section. Power down the gateway prior to installing the SIM. 4

5 5 To access the SIM slot, open the case by carefully prying the top cover away from the case with a small flat screwdriver or similar tool. Insert the tool and pry the top cover slightly outward from the case. The SIM connector is on the bottom of the cellular carrier board. Note the SIM should be inserted with the metal side up, and the notch entering the connector first. The SIM card will click into place. Put the top enclosure back on the unit, making sure the vents are at the end opposite the antenna, before pushing down to snap in place. Access the local SysLINK configuration web page using the Access Configuration instructions below. Click on Cellular Settings link in the menu on the left pane. Login to the unit as instructed. Enter the APN in the Access Point Name (APN) edit field. Click Save Changes. Click Reset/Reboot link in the leftmost gray menu pane. Then, click Reboot. Once the SysLINK gateway reboots it should connect to the cellular network. You can confirm this by viewing the date and time from the SysLINK configuration web page. This will be updated one to two minutes after the gateway reboots. You will need to refresh the web page manually to see the date and time change. Access Local Configuration Options Most applications do not require access to the local configuration options, and the gateway can be used immediately. If you would like to configure features such as the IP address or Wi Fi settings, then follow these steps. 1. Connect a PC directly to the SysLINK gateway Ethernet LAN port. 2. Point your web broswer to Note: You must use HTTPS as this provides enhanced security. Ignore any warning screen that may appear. 3. A page titled Welcome to the SysLINK appears. This is the SysLINK User Interface (UI). 4. Once you select any menu option, you will be asked to provide login information. 5. The default user name is admin. The default password is sysl1nk (with the number one between the letters l and n ). 6. It is suggested you change the password to enhance security. SSH Access To login to the Linux OS of the gateway directly, you will need to enable SSH by accessing the local configuration options described above. If Advanced Routing is licensed, click on the Firewall Settings link in the user interface web page. Click to place a checkmark in the Allow Access column in the Secure Shell row on the Port Access Configuration page. If Advanced Routing is not licensed click on the Security Settings link in the user interface web page. Click to place a checkmark in the Secure Shell option box. After enabling SSH Access, reboot the gateway from the Reset/Reboot menu option. After reboot, you may use SSH to access the Linux OS of the gateway. The default SSH username is root. The default password is sysl1nk (with the number one between the letters l and n ).

6 6 Wi-Fi Access Point If Wi Fi is an installed option and configured as an access point (AP or hot spot ), the SSID is SysLINK and the Wi Fi password is Systech1. The IP address to access the unit via Wi Fi is and the DHCP server is configured to provide IP addresses in the range SysSCRIPT For IoT (Internet of Things) support, your SysLINK Gateway includes SysSCRIPT (licensed) or SysSCRIPT Lite. SysSCRIPT Lite provides remote access and control of many properties of the gateway, such as network IP address, number of bytes transferred, and other gateway details. If your gateway includes temperature and motion hardware, SysSCRIPT Lite also provides remote access to this information. SysSCRIPT is a simple graphical user interface that provides the ability to program scripts that execute locally on the gateway. The licensed version of SysSCRIPT provides additional, advanced access and control for external devices. Example external devices include devices attached to the USB port, or wireless ZigBee, Z Wave, or Bluetooth devices (assuming the appropriate hardware is installed). Setup and configuration of SysSCRIPT requires just a few short minutes. You can access SysSCRIPT with your smart phone, tablet, or computer. No application installation is necessary. Simply use a current version of your favorite browser, such as Chrome, Explorer, or Safari. Gateway Activation Activation is a two step process Gateway Activation and Account Activation. Activate SysSCRIPT on the gateway by accessing the local configuration options described above. Click on the SysMAP Settings in the user interface web page. Click to place a checkmark in the Enable the SysMAP service option box. Account Login Go to the following URL: If you previously created a SysSCRIPT account for any gateway in the past, then simply use your existing user credentials to log in. Otherwise, select the Register a new user option. Account Activation Activation Code: sysscript lite Gateway Activation Password: See the bottom of the gateway. If no Gateway Activation Password is present, then use the 6 digit serial number. If you received a separate activation code, perhaps for a full SysSCRIPT license, use that activation code instead. If you register as a new user, please include your activation code when asked. Your activation code will apply the appropriate access rights to your SysSCRIPT account. If you would like to add an activation code to an existing account, simply log in to your account, then select the Use Activation Code menu option. Be sure to remember your account username and password for the future, as that will be required to access SysSCRIPT for this gateway and other gateways that may be linked to your account. There is an option to recover your username and password if you forget it. Gateway Access To access SysSCRIPT, select the SysSCRIPT square tile, under the Applications dropdown list. A new window will open with a dropdown list of all gateways associated with your SysSCRIPT account. Select Gateways to expose the entire list. From this list, find the gateway that you would like to work with. New gateways will have a default gateway name of the serial number preceded with a GW. For example, GW When you have located the gateway of interest, select the Details button of the gateway. This will bring you to a screen showing current status information of the gateway. It is usually desirable to rename the gateway to something more meaningful. Simply click on the gateway name to bring up a renaming dialog box.

7 7 Also, you must set the initial time zone and location of the gateway. This is required to enable timebased scripts. Select and edit the Latitude, Longitude, and Time Zone properties of the gateway. Select the pencil icon near the property you intend to change. Edit the Time Zone property last, since editing the Time Zone will cause the gateway to automatically reboot. This is normal, and you can continue to explore the SysSCRIPT interface while the gateway reboots. Device Access and Control From the Menu, select Devices. This will bring you to a screen showing the devices currently attached to that gateway. New gateways will typically have only a single device which is the gateway itself. While you are viewing this screen, you can see many of the accessible gateway properties. These are properties that you can access remotely, or properties you can create scripts for. For example, you can access the current gateway internal temperature, the local IP address, the cellular signal strength, and other attributes.
