3. Configuració

Follow these steps to set up your FRITZ! Smart Gateway:

1. Connexió d'alimentació: Connect the FRITZ! Smart Gateway to a power outlet using the provided power adapter. The device will begin to power on.
2. Connexió de xarxa: Connect the gateway to your existing router using an Ethernet cable. Alternatively, for initial setup, you can connect it via Wi-Fi. If using Wi-Fi, the simplest method is to use WPS to pair it with your router.
3. Accedint al Web Interfície:
   • Once connected, determine the IP address assigned to the gateway by your router.
   • Obre a web browser and enter the gateway's IP address or "fritz.smartgateway" (note: this hostname may not work with all routers).
   • The interface may initially appear in German. Navigate through the initial installation pages to change the language to English or your preferred language.
4. Actualització del firmware: It is crucial to check for and install the latest firmware updates (e.g., FRITZ!OS 8.20 or later) immediately after initial setup. Updates often improve compatibility and stability. You may need to manually search for updates on the FRITZ! website if they are not automatically displayed.
5. Integrating into Mesh Network: If you are using other AVM FRITZ! routers or repeaters, integrate the Smart Gateway into your local mesh network before pairing any smart home devices. Failure to do so may require a factory reset and re-pairing of all devices.

4. Operating the Gateway

The FRITZ! Smart Gateway serves as a central hub for your smart home devices. Here's how to operate it:

4.1. Vinculació de dispositius

• DECT.ULE Devices: Pairing DECT.ULE devices (e.g., DECT200 smart plugs) is generally intuitive and instant. Note that this gateway does not serve as a repeater for DECT cordless phones.
• Zigbee Devices: The gateway supports various Zigbee devices. While it may recognize more devices than officially listed, AVM's compatibility list for Zigbee devices is limited. Ensure your devices are compatible. Pairing can be done through the web interfície.

4.2. Control intel·ligent de la llar

• Manage connected devices, create scenes, and set up routines through the gateway's web interfície.
• The gateway allows for simple scene creation. For more complex automations (e.g., time-dependent actions), you might need to implement workarounds or additional sensors.

4.3. Indicadors LED

The front panel features LED indicators for Zigbee, DECT, and WLAN status, providing visual feedback on network activity and device connections.

4.4. Port USB

The USB port can be used for charging older devices. For newer smartphones, it may not provide sufficient amperage and could cause the gateway to overheat.

5. Manteniment

• Actualitzacions de firmware: Regularly check for and install the latest FRITZ!OS updates to ensure optimal performance, security, and compatibility with new devices.
• Neteja: Gently wipe the exterior of the gateway with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
• Col·locació òptima: For best signal range and stability, place the gateway in a central location, away from large metal objects or other sources of interference. If using FRITZ! WiFi repeaters, ensure they operate on the same 2.4 GHz WiFi channel to minimize interference with the Smart Gateway.

6. Solució De Problemes

If you encounter issues with your FRITZ! Smart Gateway, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Gateway Not Accessible:
  • Ensure the gateway is powered on and connected to your network.
  • Verify the IP address of the gateway in your router's administration interface.
  • Try accessing it via its IP address instead of "fritz.smartgateway".
• Zigbee Device Disconnections/Instability:
  • The signal range can be improved with Zigbee repeaters.
  • If a device frequently disconnects, it might be removed from the gateway's configuration. You may need to re-pair it. Note that re-pairing might assign a new internal ID (e.g., "Zigbee #X").
  • Ensure the device is within range and not obstructed by walls or other interference.
• Dispositiu no s'està emparellant:
  • Confirm the device is compatible with the FRITZ! Smart Gateway (DECT.ULE or Zigbee).
  • Follow the specific pairing instructions for your device and the gateway.
• Incorrect Device Status (e.g., Roller Shutters):
  • Some devices might display incorrect status initially. Try refreshing the status in the web interfície.
  • Ensure the latest firmware is installed, as this can resolve display issues.
• Device Appears Connected to Gateway Instead of Router:
  • After restarting a network device (e.g., a computer), it might incorrectly show as connected directly to the Smart Gateway. This is a known behavior with FRITZ!OS. It typically does not affect functionality.
• Overheating During USB Charging:
  • The USB port is primarily for low-power devices. Avoid charging high-power devices like modern smartphones to prevent overheating.
• General Instability:
  • Perform a factory reset as a last resort. Note that this will erase all configurations and paired devices, requiring a complete re-setup.
