 You really don't need to configure anything in this sketch. Just download it and connect the Arduino to your Vera using usb-connector. Please note that only Arduino Nano module have a serial chipset recognized automatically by Vera.

 You only need to connect the radio chip to the Arduino. Follow the instructions in ConnectingRadioModule.
+
+As an option you also can connect inclusion button & indicating leds. Pin to be used by button is defined inside ArduinoGateway sketch as #define INCLUSION_MODE_PIN 3. Actually it is hard to redefine it because sketch is using the particular interrupt handler. Connect button between GND and digital pin 3. 
+There are 3 led types supported - RX/TX/Error. Use them to have a visual feedback during radio activity. Radial 3mm green/yellow/red leds could be a good choice. Your should use 3 resistors 270R-510R. Each led is connected by anode to +5V pin and cathode is connected through a resistor to a digital pins 6/5/4 respectively for RX/TX/Error. Pins can be re-configured inside ArduinoGateway sketch at this line:
+
+{{{
+// Start gateway with include button and led blinking functionality enabled (see documetation)
+Gateway gw(9, 10, INCLUSION_MODE_PIN, INCLUSION_MODE_TIME, 6, 5, 4);
+}}}
+
+There is no special requirement for the casing, you can use any case suitable for your setup. A nice 3d model for 3d printer can be found here http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:159417.
