# Connect to the gateway

Connect the gateway to your network with a LAN cable and apply power to the gateway. The LED between the micro-USB and Ethernet connector should light up and slowly blink green.

You can find the gateway by running a program called “Microchip Ethernet Discoverer.exe” which is readily available on internet or running an IP-scanner and looking for its MAC address. If you have multiple units visible you can find the right one by checking the MAC address on the side of the gateway with the one in the program.

To open the gateway webpage click the gateway row in the Microchip Ethernet Discoverer window. You may also open a browser and go to gateway address like <http://192.168.61.>24.

The login page will be opened.&#x20;

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.boomerang3.com/win-gateway-installation-manual/gateway-configuration/connect-to-the-gateway.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
