•Make sure the gateway is within range of your phone or
tablet when connecting to it. If your mobile device can
connect to the gateway intermittently or loses its
connection, move closer to the gateway, within sight if
possible. Check the gateway signal strength icon in
the app to make sure there is a strong signal between the
phone and the gateway. The more blue bars, the stronger
the signal.
•Change the orientation of your phone or tablet to ensure
the antenna in your device is pointed toward the gateway
(refer to your device’s manual for the antenna location).
Obstacles between the antenna in the device and the
gateway may result in intermittent connections.
Once your phone or tablet is connected to the gateway, you
can check how many loggers are in range or click Show Details
to see the last time the gateway connected to a logger and to
the InTempConnect website.
You can also select one of the following actions:
•Configure. Select a configuration for the gateway. You can
create a new gateway configuration profile in the
InTempConnect website under Settings > Configuration
Profiles.
•Network Settings. Change the Ethernet or WiFi settings.
•Stop Gateway. Stop a running gateway. Loggers will no
longer be downloaded until you configure or start the
gateway again.
•Start Gateway. Start a gateway with the current
configuration settings.
Monitoring the Gateway with InTempConnect
To monitor a gateway deployment in the InTempConnect
website:
1. Click Devices and Data and then the Devices tab.
2. Click Gateway Deployments. (Can’t see Gateway
Deployments? Make sure you have Manage Gateway
privileges.)
3. All current and previous gateway deployments are listed.
Check the current deployment in the list for the status, last
upload date/time and last contact with InTempConnect.
A heartbeat is sent every 10 minutes from the gateway to
InTempConnect to make sure the gateway is still active. The
status for the current gateway deployment will be listed in
InTempConnect. If no heartbeat is sent after an hour, then the
gateway status will change to missing. In addition, an email will
be sent indicating the gateway is missing to the address on file
in InTempConnect and the LED on the gateway will be red. To
change the email address for this alarm or create an additional
notification to another email address, click Settings > Alarm
Notifications in IntempConnect. The gateway will continue
downloading the loggers even if it is not able to connect to
InTempConnect. The data will stored temporarily in the
gateway and uploaded the next time it is able to connect to
InTempConnect.
Gateway LEDs
LED Behavior Description
Solid yellow-
green changing
to deep green
The gateway is powering up; the LED is yellow-
green when the gateway is first plugged in and
then changes to a deep green once it is ready
to set up.

connected to a logger.
Solid green The gateway is currently connected to a logger.
Blinking red The gateway is configured, but has been unable
to connect to the Internet for at least an hour.

Pausing, Stopping, and Resetting a Gateway
Follow these instructions if you need to briefly pause a running
gateway, stop a gateway completely, or reset a gateway.
•Press the button on the gateway for 1 second to pause a
running gateway. Any logger downloads in process will
complete, but no other connections to loggers will occur
for a one minute. After one minute, connections to loggers
will resume at the normal schedule.
•To stop a running gateway, connect to the gateway with
the InTemp app and select Stop Gateway. The gateway
will no longer connect to and download loggers until it is
started again or reconfigured.
•Configured gateways are locked for a single account. Any
user associated with that account can access it. If you need
to unlock a gateway for a user in another account or you
need to reset it for other reasons, press the button on the
gateway for at least 10 seconds. Anyone with Gateway
Administrator privileges can then connect to the gateway
with the InTemp app and reconfigure it. Note: It may take
up to 30 seconds for the gateway to appear unlocked in
the InTemp app.
Setting up the Gateway at a Different Site
Follow these instructions if you need to configure/start the
gateway for use at a different site or to set up network settings
for the gateway for a different location than the current site
(for example, you are an IT administrator who is setting up a
gateway that will be used at a different office). Note that you
must have an InTempConnect user account with Gateway
Administrator privileges and the InTemp app to continue.
Note: If the gateway will be deployed in a location that
supports Ethernet with DHCP and you do not need to set up
network settings in advance, then you can follow the steps in
Setting up the Gateway on page 1 instead.
1. Power up the gateway. Connect the AC adapter to the
gateway and plug it in. Plug in an Ethernet cable if you will
be using Ethernet at your current location. Wait a couple of
minutes for it to completely power up before continuing.
The LED will be yellow-green while it powers up and then
change to a deep green once it is ready to set up.
