## Step 1: Turn on the gateway

### Connect the antennas.

Connect the 915-MHz antenna to the gateway's **UHF** antenna jack. Connect the WiFi or cellular antenna to the **WiFi** or **Cell** jack (for WiFi / cell enabled models only).

### Apply power.

Connect one end of the wall-plug adapter to the gateway's **Power** port and the other end to an electrical outlet.

## Step 2: Access the gateway's local web page

### Connect a PC.

Wait a minute for the gateway to bootstrap, then connect a PC to the local Ethernet jack (the middle one) using the provided Ethernet cable.

### Navigate to the local web page.

On the connected PC, open a browser and navigate to **192.168.3.3 .** The Gateway UI will appear providing an interface to view the status of the gateway, to connect it to the Internet, and to register the gateway with a [Conductor](https://www.link-labs.com/link-lab-doc-blog/conductor-data-platform-user-guide) account.

### The gateway's local web page appears.

## Step 3: Connect the gateway to the Internet

### To connect via wired Ethernet...

Connect a DHCP-enabled network to the gateway's **LAN** Ethernet jack (the one closest to the serial connector).

In the **Ethernet Connection** area, select the **Enable** button.

### To connect using Cellular...

The cellular-enabled model of the indoor gateway (LL-BST-8-915-SYM-G-I-US) includes a cellular modem. To use cellular option, first [insert a SIM](https://www.link-labs.com/link-lab-doc-blog/ll-bst-8-gateways) card in the gateway. In the **Cellular Connection** area click the **Edit** button and enter the **APN**, **Number**, and **APN Username**, and **APN Password**. Click **Save Changes**. In the **Cellular Connection** area, select the **Enable** button.

## Step 4: Register the gateway with Conductor

This step connects your gateway to your web-based Conductor account.

### Register the gateway.

Once the gateway is connected to the Internet, click the **Register Gateway** button in the **Symphony Registration** section of the local web page.

The **Conductor Login** prompt appears. Enter your credentials and click the **Login** button. Or, if you do not have a Conductor account, click the **Create User** button and follow the directions to make an account.

The **Register Gateway** prompt appears.

In this example, we're going to register the gateway with a new Symphony Link Network. (But if you want, you can simply register the gateway with the **Open Gateway** network.) Click the **Create Network** button.

Conductor populates a new, unique network to the list. In this example, it is **Network xB36E.** Click the **Register** button.

The prompt disappears and the **Symphony Registration** section of the local webpage updates. It shows the gateway is registered with the newly created network. (You may need to refresh your browser.)

## How do I insert a SIM card into a cellular-enabled LL-BST-8?

The cellular-enabled gateway requires an LTE-enabled 2FF SIM to connect to a cellular network.

### Remove power.

Remove the four screws, which secure the lid of the enclosure. Then remove the lid and set it aside.

### Insert a SIM card.

Install the SIM card on the underside of the motherboard with the pins facing toward the PCB.

### Replace the lid.

Replace the lid and screws.
