Initializing the Gateway

ETH1 Ethernet Port Connection
Configure the laptop’s network setting to use the following Administration IP address settings

Attach the laptop to the Nomadix ETH1 or LAN port using an Ethernet cable and check the status as shown below.

On the PC/laptop open an SSH (Secure Shell) client connection using PuTTY, Hyperterm, Procomm (or equivalent) to the EG using the Gateway’s default IP address 172.30.30.172. With everything connected and powered up, you are now ready to configure the Gateway’s WAN for a static IP address, DHCP Client or PPPoE client using the appropriate configuration guidelines that follow in order to obtain the license key.

Go to Initial (startup) Configuration.
Once the key has been obtained, the web management interface (WMI) can be used to continue and finish the configuration.
Initial (startup) Configuration
Log in to the Gateway, by opening an SSH to 172.30.30.172 using the default Login= admin and password= admin. Type y[es] when prompted to configure settings.
The initial minimal WAN port configuration mode will be displayed as shown in Figure 3.

Initial minimal WAN port configuration.
Select the desired configuration mode and use the following steps to configure the WAN port for either Static IP, DHCP client or PPPoE.

Step 1a: Static WAN IP Configuration

Accept static as the default configuration mode and enter the following mandatory settings shown in Figure 4.

Figure 4: Initial WAN port settings
A WAN port summary page will then be displayed as shown in Figure 5.

WAN port static IP configuration summary page
If everything is correct in the summary, type b[ack] to return to the previous menu and proceed to Step 2 to enter the location information.
Otherwise, select an option from the Ethernet port configuration menu to display or make changes to the WAN port settings. When finished with the settings, type b[ack] to return to the previous menu and proceed to Step 2 to enter the location information.

Step 1b: DHCP Client Configuration

Type d[hcp] for the configuration mode as shown in Figure 6.

Figure 6: Selecting DHCP Client for WAN configuration

WAN port DHCP client configuration summary page
If everything is correct in the summary, type b[ack] to return to the previous menu and proceed to Step 2 to enter the location information.
Otherwise, select an option from the Ethernet port configuration menu to display or make changes to the WAN port settings. When finished with the settings, type b[ack] to return to the previous menu and proceed to Step 2 to enter the location information.

Step 1c: PPPoE Dynamic IP Client Configuration
Enter p[ppoe] when prompted. Enter the following mandatory settings for a PPPoE connection with dynamic PPP IP configuration shown in Figure 8.

Figure 8: Selecting PPPoE with dynamic IP configuration
A WAN port summary page will then be displayed as shown in Figure 9.

WAN port PPPoE client configuration summary page

Step 1d: PPPoE Static IP Client Configuration
Use the same steps for configuring dynamic PPPoE shown in Figure 8 above, but select static for PPP IP Configuration Mode, and enter your IP address for PPP Static IP Address. A summary page similar to Figure 9 above will be displayed.If everything is correct in the summary, type b[ack] to return to the previous menu and proceed to Step 2 to enter the location information. Otherwise, select an option from the Ethernet port configuration menu to display or make changes to the WAN port settings. When finished with the settings, type b[ack] to return to the previous menu and proceed to Step 2 to enter the location information.

Step 2: Entering Your Location Information
You will be required to enter location information to obtain the license key. Enter the following mandatory location information details

Step 3: Retrieving Your License Key
The system will now prompt you to accept or decline the End User License Agreement (EULA). You must accept the terms of the EULA before the Edge Gateway can retrieve its license key. To retrieve the license key, enter y[es] as shown in Figure 11. The EG retrieves the license key from the Nomadix license key server, then reboots.

License key retrieval.
NOTE : The date and time the gateway receives a valid license from our server for the first time is considered the Software License Subscription start date.

Step 4: Configuring the System
Log in to the Edge Gateway and use the graphical Web Management Interface (WMI) to configure the product’s features. You have now established a basic configuration for the EG that enables internet connectivity.
For additional information about the available EG features, refer to Chapter 2 of the User Guide specific to your EG. For example:

• To establish various billing and authentication methods, see Defining the AAA Services.
• To establish hotel billing, see Assigning a PMS Service.

Step 5: Configuring EG DHCP Server Settings
DHCP Server is enabled by default. To configure the DHCP Server, go to DHCP under the Configuration menu. You can either modify the default DHCP pool, add additional pools or delete the default DHCP pool and create a new pool. The total lease pool size recommendation is 75% more than the number of licensed subscribers. Table 3 shows the factory default DHCP server settings.
