STEP 4: CONNECT TO THE NETWORK

The rst time the gateway is powered on its home network, it automatically starts the activation/provisioning process and attempts to

connect to the network. This process typically takes 5-10 minutes. A successful connection is indicated by a solid green network LED.

STEP 5: CONFIGURE THE NETWORK

For most cellular plans, the modem will automatically congure itself properly. If issues

persist in establishing a cellular connection (blinking red network LED) the APN may need

to be entered manually. To do this:

1. On a computer powered by a Windows® operating system (connected to the

modem using an Ethernet cable) or using the modem service tool on the

TMX-2050/XCN-2050 display that is connected to the GX450 modem, enter

http://192.168.88.3:9191 in the web browser. The ACEmanager login screen

appears.

Note: It may take the gateway 2-3 minutes to respond after the initial power up.

2. The administrator username is entered by default. Enter the default password

Wilco2016 and then click Login. The Status / Home screen appears.

3. Check the Network State eld. It should read Network Ready, which indicates that the

gateway is connected to the network. If not, refer to

STEP 4 above.

4. On the WAN/Cellular page, there is a section for User Entered APN - enter the custom

APN here if the modem does not automatically detect the cellular provider’s APN

number.

STEP 6: CONFIGURE THE CORRECTION SOURCE

Refer to the User Guide for the display or receiver for information on the setup procedure for

VRS setup.
