To connect the example application in 6LoWPAN ND or Thread mode to Connector, you need to set up an mbed 6LoWPAN gateway router. Clone the [mbed-client-example-6lowpan](https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-client-example-6lowpan) repository and follow the [gateway configuration](https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-client-example-6lowpan#gateway-configuration) instructions. Use the dynamic binary in both cases for IPv6 autoconfiguration.

To connect the example application in 6LoWPAN ND or Thread mode to Connector, you need to set up an mbed 6LoWPAN gateway router.
67+
68+
1. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the mbed 6LoWPAN gateway router to the internet.
69+
2. Use a micro-USB cable to connect the mbed 6LoWPAN gateway router to your computer. The computer will list the router as removable storage.
70+
3. The firmware for the gateway is located in the `GW_Binary` folder in the root of this example. You should select the binary matching your application bootstrap mode:
71+
72+
* For the **6LoWPAN ND** bootstrap, use `gateway6LoWPANDynamic.bin`.
73+
* For the **Thread** bootstrap, use `gatewayThreadDynamic.bin`.
74+
75+
The dynamic binaries use IPv6 autoconfiguration and enable the client to connect to the Connector service. The static binaries create a site-local IPv6 network from where packets cannot be routed outside.
76+
77+
4. Copy the gateway binary file to the mbed 6LoWPAN gateway router to flash the device. The device will reboot automatically after flashing. If that does not happen, push the **Reset** button on the board.
78+
5. Optionally you can view debug traces from the gateway with a serial port monitor. The gateway uses baud rate 460800. The gateway IPv6 address is correctly configured when the following trace is visible: `Eth bootstrap ready, IP=XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX`.
