Click “Discover devices” to refresh the view.

The Discoverer will detect also BBO units described in[T-BBO Gateway Installation Manual](https://help.boomerang3.com/bbo-gateway-installation-manual/) if there are any installed in the same network.

* Click the row where your WIN gateway is shown to open its web panel in a browser.  Compare the MAC address with the one printed on the gateway label if you are not sure which one is the right one.

## 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/quick-installation/win-gateway-setup.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.
