Connecting Ethernet
Note: These are Advantech gateway instructions. For Dell instructions, see Connecting Ethernet (Dell).
During initial setup, Wi-Fi is for laptop communication with the gateway. The wired Ethernet Internet connection is for Cloud communication and updates.
Before connecting Ethernet, ensure that:
-
The Internet connection that you will make to the gateway is live so that the gateway's Wi-Fi will work.
-
The (Internet) network connection has a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server to get an address.
-
The PC being used for setup is set to have a dynamic IP address rather than a static address.
On the right side of the gateway, plug a network Ethernet patch cable that provides Internet access (and optional PoE) into the PoE IN / LAN B port.
