Getting Started

This chapter introduces the basic configuration steps for quickly using this gateway.

Step 1. Log in to Gateway Web GUI

The gateway can be accessed via wireless (Wi-Fi) or wired (Ethernet Port).
  1. Select one of the following methods to connect to the gateway and access the web GUI.
    Method Step
    Access via Wi-Fi
    1. Enable the Wireless Network Connection on your computer, search for the corresponding for Wi-Fi SSID, and connect to it. Default Wi-Fi credentials:

      SSID: Gateway_XXXXXX (last 6 digits of the Wi-Fi MAC address)
      Password: iotpassword

    2. Open a web browser (Chrome is recommended) and type in https://192.168.2.1 to access the web GUI.
    Access via a LAN Port
    1. Connect the ETH2 port of the device to your computer using a network cable.
    2. Configure the computer's IP address either manually or automatically. Take Windows 10 as an example:
      1. Navigate to Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center and select “Ethernet” (It may have a different name).

      2. Navigate to Properties > Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties, then select either Obtain an IP address automatically or Use the following IP address to manually assign a static IP address within the same subnet as the gateway.

    3. Open a web browser (Chrome is recommended) and type in https://192.168.1.1 to access the web GUI.
    Access via a WAN Port
    1. Connect the ETH1 port of the device and your computer to the same network router or switch with DHCP server enabled.
    2. Configure the computer's IP address automatically. Take Windows 10 as an example:
      1. Navigate to Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center and select “Ethernet” (It may have a different name).

      2. Navigate to Properties > Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties, then select either Obtain an IP address automatically.

    3. Check the device IP address received from the screen.
      1. Press any screen button to activate the device screen.
      2. Press button to navigate to the Interface Status Menu.
      3. Press button several times to navigate to the Ethernet Status page to obtain the ETH1 IP address (in the format of xx.xx.xx.xx).
    4. Open a web browser (Chrome is recommended) and type in https://xx.xx.xx.xx to access the web GUI.
  2. Log in to the web GUI using the default credentials:

    Username: admin
    Password: password

  3. After logging the web GUI for the first time, it is necessary to change the default password.

    1. Enter the Old Password.

    3. Enter Confirm New Password.
    4. Click OK.
    5. Log in to the web GUI using the new credentials.

Step 2. Add a Device

The gateway supports enabling IO interfaces or adding devices.

Enable IO Interface: Navigate to Data Service > Data Acquisition > IO Device page to enable the IO interfaces, then click to configure the IO interface parameters based on different interface types. For more details, refer to IO Device.

Add a Device: Navigate to Data Service > Data Acquisition > Device page to add devices based on different protocol types. For more details, refer to Add Devices.

Step 3. Add Device Objects

It is necessary to add device objects for read or write operations.
  1. Navigate to Data Service > Data Acquisition > Device page, then click the object count value to go to Object List page.

  2. Add device objects and enable the desired objects. For more details, refer to Add Device Objects and Enable Device Objects.

Step 4. Add Data Forwarding Destination

If you need to forward data or implement remote control, it is necessary to add data forwarding rules.
  1. Navigate to Data Service > Data Forwarding page to add a data forwarding rule. For more details, refer to Add Data Forwarding Rule.

  2. Navigate to Data Service > Data Forwarding page, then click the object count value to go to Object List page to add forwarding contents. For more details, refer to Add Data Forwarding Objects.
