Starting the gateway
There are no switches or control buttons on the OCEABridge gateway. All settings are
configured using the embedded web application.
You must use the configuration interface to determine how OCEABridge connects to the
Internet via Ethernet, WiFi, or a cellular data connection.
This section describes how to set up your OCEABridge gateway.
2.1
Prerequisites
•
Internet connectivity (type depends on your needs):
o
Ethernet network
o
WiFi network
o
Cellular data service
•
Cloud access requires the purchase of an OCEACloud subscription for Emerald
modules. Atlas modules are activated for use on the Cloud by default.
•
Network disconnection
: Do not disrupt the OCEABridge gateway’s
Internet connection during use. Module data and alarms cannot be
sent to the Cloud without an Internet connection.
•
Power outage
:
Data and alarm transmission is interrupted if the
device’s power is turned off or disconnected. We highly recommend
that you use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). When power is
restored after an outage or disconnection, OCEABridge connects to
wireless modules within range to collect any data that may have
been missed.
