3. Use a standard network cable (included) to connect the WAN port on the back of Vera into either your DSL or cable modem, or into your existing home network. Vera will use this port to connect to the internet. You can connect other network devices, like PC's, printers, cameras, network switches, and so on to the four LAN ports.

4. Connect the power cord and plug Vera in. Wait 60 seconds after plugging Vera in. After you have waited 60 seconds, look at the power light on the front of Vera. If it is on solid that means Vera was able to connect to the Internet. Proceed to step 5. Otherwise, read the section about configuring your network before proceeding.

5. Open any web browser that is on the same home network as Vera and go to: http://findvera.com. Vera automatically setup a secure wi-fi wireless network you can connect to (see the sticker below). Click the 'Setup' button.

You should now see Vera's setup page in your web browser. Vera has helpful videos that will guide you through the process of adding devices and creating scenes. You should be up and running in just a few minutes. If you do not see Vera's setup page, read the section about configuring your network.
