5 Appendix A – Advanced Setup
5.1 Admin Console Setup
In the event that the Gateway needs further setup or is not functioning properly, the
system can be accessed through the admin console. The Gateway admin console
can be connected through a USB port to any computer running a terminal program,
i.e. HyperTerm or PuTTY. A free download of PuTTY is available at
www.putty.org
.
Click on the download button and follow the instructions.
Connect the USB A connector to your computer and the USB B connector to
Gateway’s J3 USB connection located next to the backup battery. The PC should
be a laptop or otherwise electrically isolated from the Gateway power source.
The Linux serial gadget driver must be installed on your computer and a patch is
needed for Windows 7 which is available at
www.centeron.net/downloads/setup.bat
. If your driver installation fails when you
connect the USB from the Gateway to your computer, then download and run the
setup.bat patch.
When the Linux serial gadget driver is installed, you can open the terminal program
using the following communication settings:
Baud 115.2K, 8 Data bits, 1 Stop Bit, No Parity, Handshaking is off
The Port number is depended on the availability of portscurrently on your system.
You will see the following prompt when the Gateway is connected:
OpenWrt login:
If you do not see the above prompt, press <enter> and the log in prompt should
appear. If the prompt is still not visible, then re-check your communications settings
in the terminal application.
The login is “admin” and the password is “password”.
The admin console is a command line driven interface. All commands are typed in
and pressing <enter> executes the command.
