Once operational, the Hiberband Via gateway creates a Wi-Fi hotspot. You can use this to connect to the Via gateway and
access the Via configuration page. From the configuration page you can add additional LoRaWAN devices, see the status of
the system and safely reboot or shut down the Via gateway*. Please note that:
STEP 6: CONNECTING TO THE HIBERBAND VIA GATEWAY WI-FI HOTSPOT.
Do not shut down the Via gateway by disconnecting it from power,
as this may damage the device.
*
To reduce the power consumption of the Via gateway, the Wi-Fi
hotspot is not continuously available.
Once the Via gateway is powered and started up, the hotspot will
remain available for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, the hotspot turns on and off during a 20 minute
cycle. For the first 5 minutes it is active and remains visible, then for
the next 15 minutes it is inactive and not visible. (fig. 13).
As long as you are connected to the Wi-Fi hotspot with your laptop
or phone, it will remain active until you disconnect from it again.
