1. Version 0.5 10 February 2014 www.benext.eu
Quick start: Internet Gateway EU
Technical specs
Normal operating voltage 12Vdc
Frequency range 868.42 MHz
Wireless Range Min 150 meters in a mesh network
Basic Operations
- The Internet Gateway can configure, include, exclude and
control any Z-Wave Device.
- The Internet Gateway can apply rules and events on your
Z-Wave network.
- The Internet Gateway can request all information from
other Z-Wave devices in the same network.
- The Internet Gateway can be controlled by:
o www.benext.eu (PC, mobile, Tablet, iPod)
o Remote Display / Remote Controller
- Ultra Low Power Consumption.
- Easy Plug and Play.
Mounting
1. The Internet Gateway can be mounted on a wall with the two mounting holes on the back, or simply
place the Internet Gateway on a flat surface.
2. First connect the Ethernet cable from your router/switch to the Internet Gateway.
3. Connect the AC adapter to the Internet Gateway and plug the AC adapter in a power outlet socket.
Indication modes
The indicator light gives various statuses of the device as follows:
A. Booting and checking firmware
When power is applied, the green and orange leds will blink while checking valid firmware.
After a few seconds the Internet Gateway is booted, the indicator light will turn orange.
B. Connecting to the benext server
After booting, the Internet Gateway tries to connect to the benext server. While the Internet Gateway
is trying to connect, the indicator light will be slowly blinking orange (once a second).
If the indicator light keeps blinking this way for more than a minute, there is probably something
wrong with your internet connection.
If the Internet Gateway is not able to connect to a network at all (no Ethernet cable, network auto-
configuration failed), the indicator light will blink orange twice a second.
C. Normal operation
The indicator light will be solid green. Z-Wave or benext Ethernet activity will cause the indicator light
to blink once: orange for Z-Wave activity, black (off) for Ethernet activity.
Functionality of the ‘Learn’ button
The Learn button, also located at the back of the Internet Gateway serves multiple purposes:
1. Send a Z-Wave ‘Node information frame’, which can be used to perform Z-Wave associations.
2. Include the Internet Gateway into another network, becoming either a ‘Secondary’ or ‘Inclusion’
Controller (depending on the Z-Wave network type). Sometimes this is referred to as ‘entering learn
mode’.
3. Delete all Z-Wave network information and create a new Z-Wave network (‘Controller reset’)

2. Version 0.5 10 February 2014 www.benext.eu
Send a node information frame
Sending a ‘node information frame’ can be necessary to perform for example associations with others Z-Wave
devices. However, under normal circumstances this should not be necessary since the Internet Gateway sets
up associations automatically after including a device to its network.
To send a node information frame, press the button once. The indicator light will blink orange once (if this
does not happen, press the button just a little longer).
Include the Internet Gateway into another network
In order to include the Internet Gateway into an already existing Z-Wave network, the following steps should
be taken:
1. Make sure that the Internet Gateway has no devices included (if it has, please exclude them first using
the benext Graphical Web-interface).
2. Set the Primary Controller (or an Inclusion Controller) of the existing network in inclusion mode.
3. Press and hold the Learn button, the indicator light will switch off.
4. Once the indicator light starts blinking orange, release the button. The indicator light starts blinking
orange two times every second.
If the indicator light blinks three times every second, the Internet Gateway is already included
in another network. Exclude it from the network using the benext Graphical Web-interface
(preferred), or delete all network information using the button (see below).
If the indicator light blinks eight times in one second, after which it returns to normal
operation mode, the Internet Gateway has other devices included in its network. Exclude
them first using the benext Graphical Web-interface.
5. After a few seconds, the indicator light should be orange for a full second, after which it returns to
normal operation. The Internet Gateway is successfully included in the network.
After 2 minutes, the indicator light blinks eight times in one second, after which it returns to
normal operation mode. This means inclusion has failed. Try again and make sure the
controller of the other network is reachable and in inclusion mode.
Delete all Z-Wave network information and create a new network
In order to remove all Z-Wave network information (perform a ‘Controller Reset’), please take the following
actions. Note that this is only possible when the Internet Gateway is included in an already existing network. If
the Internet Gateway runs its own Z-Wave network, you should exclude the included devices using the benext
Graphical Web-interface, after which the Internet Gateway should be in the same state.
1. Press and hold the Learn button, the indicator light will switch off.
2. Once the indicator light starts blinking orange, release the button. The indicator light starts blinking
orange three times every second.
If the indicator light does not blink three times every second, the Internet Gateway is not
included in a foreign network. Therefore this functionality is unavailable.
3. Press the button again. The indicator light will become solid orange for at least a second.
4. Once the indicator light shows normal behavior again, the Internet Gateway has created a new Z-Wave
network and is ready for operation.

Technical details
Product dimensions (Length x Width x Height)
Internet Gateway is 140 x 79 x 21mm
Internet Gateway
Internet Gateway is the central part of the home system. It will be connected (through a router) directly to
Internet. The Internet Gateway controls Z-Wave devices, has a secure connection to the backoffice (e.g.
benext) and runs with unique rules for every lifestyle which the end consumer had configured. Also the
complete firmware of the
Z-Wave module and microprocessor can be upgraded, which makes it a future proof system.
Backoffice
Internet Gateway connects automatically to the backoffice and creates a bi-directional tunnel between the
backoffice and Internet Gateway. This tunnel is secure with encryption and a frequently changing unique
session key for every Internet Gateway. Internet Gateway controls all Z-Wave nodes and has a caching
mechanism which is necessary to also control battery operated devices which are not accessible directly.
Configurations
The rules in Internet Gateway are configured through the benext User Interface, where the relations between
every Z-Wave nodes are configured.
Normal operating voltage 12~15Vdc Power supply
Frequency range 868.42 MHz

4. Version 0.5 10 February 2014 www.benext.eu
Normal (end consumer) operation
When the Internet Gateway has a correct internet connection it will connect automatically to the benext
server (in the Netherlands).
Using the benext web User Interface, the end consumer can upload pictures of his house, select a package
with Z-Wave products and position the products on a map of his house.
When the end consumer is satisfied with his products and settings (rules how those products cooperate with
each other), the end consumer can buy the package.
The end consumer needs to include every product to the network (benext will step by step instruct how to do
this).
And finally the configuration, which was already made during the play/try period, will be send to the Internet
Gateway; the home automation configuration is done.
With benext, the end consumer can add more products (also 3rd party Z-Wave products), change settings and
when upscaling the level of usage, one can make his/her own rules which will automatically be configured in
the Internet Gateway.
After every configuration step, the Internet Gateway operates standalone where the internet connection (and
benext) is not actually needed anymore.
However, one is advised to keep the connection active at all times (to receive updates when needed and to
have good logging of activity).

CONTROLLER
A controller in the Z-Wave terminology is defined as a unit that has the ability to host a routing table of the
entire network and calculate routes based on that. Furthermore, the controller has the ability to pass on
routes to slave units, in order to enable them to transmit routed signals.
Z-Wave networks are established around a controller. The controller used to include the first node is by
default configured to act as Primary Controller with the capability to include/exclude nodes. The Primary
Controller is used to include all subsequent nodes in the network.
Being primary is just a role. Any controller can be primary but only one controller can be primary at a time. The
primary controller manages the allocation of node IDs and gathers information about which node can directly
reach which other node. Another Portable Controller or a Static Controller can be added as secondary
5. Version 0.5 10 February 2014 www.benext.eu
controller. The secondary controllers can get copies of the network information gathered by the primary
controller.
Z-Wave compatibility
Because this is a Z-Wave device, it means it can co-operate with other Z-Wave devices of other manufacturers.
It can co-exist in a Z-Wave network existing with product from other manufacturers.
Hops & Retries
The Z-Wave range has a range of up to 30 meters in line of sight. This signal is not limited to the 30 meter
range due to routing the Z-Wave message to other nodes in the network. This way the range of the Z-Wave
network can be expanded to 150 meters indoors (limit of 4 hops).
