the hub.

● Binding button: Press and hold down the button for six seconds to bind the hub with a created account in the mobile application. The binding process adds the hub to the mobile application. It is initiated from the mobile application end.

Positioning the device

  • Place the hub near a power outlet.
  • Place the hub at least 15 cm above the ground.
  • The hub is for indoor use only. Do not place it outdoors.
  • There must be sufficient clearance around the power outlet to ensure that the power adapter can be easily plugged in and removed.
  • Put the Ethernet and power supply cables out of the way to avoid danger of tripping.
  • Keep the hub out of the reach of people (including children) whose physical, sensory or mental capabilities, knowledge or experience prevents them from using the hub safely without supervision or instructions.
  • Avoid placing the hub inside or near metal or sources of radio or electromagnetic energy or interference, for example, do not place it under or on top of a WLAN router.
  • Do not put the hub on metal surfaces.
  • Do not put the hub near large metal structures or other construction elements with fine metal meshes like special glass or special concrete.
  • Do not put the hub in a location where it is exposed to dripping water, moisture or excessive heat.
  • The communication distance between controller/transmitter and receiver in a building is typically 60 m without any blockades.
  • The local regulations for electrical installations must be complied with.
  • To maintain compliance with the RF exposure requirement, a separation distance of 20 cm between the device and the human should be maintained.

Powering on the hub

Place the GTW100ZB at a suitable location and then plug in the power adapter.

WARNING: Risk of electric shock or fire
Only use the power adapter and USB cable supplied with the hub. Using other power adapter and USB cable would have a risk of electric shock or fire.

Adding a hub
Add a hub from the mobile application following on-screen instructions. You can only add one hub in one network.
Make sure the Internet connection works and you’ve entered the network password correctly when binding the hub with the mobile application. Try again if binding fails.

Connecting to the Internet (WLAN or Ethernet)
Follow the on-screen instructions in the mobile application to connect the hub to Internet via a router.

You can switch between WLAN and Ethernet connection later in the mobile application.
Make sure the WLAN connection works and you’ve entered the network password correctly when connecting to the Internet wirelessly.
