Cellular Configuration
The following procedures should be used to configure the
Intelligent Equipment solution for Cellular connectivity:
1. Mount and connect the wireless antenna per the
instructions included in document section, “Antenna
Installation”
2.
Using a laptop computer and Ethernet cable, connect
to the “ETH” port of the M2M Gateway (you will need to
temporarily disconnect the Ethernet cable between the
M2M Gateway and the MicroTech III controller, to make
use of the “ETH” port on the M2M Gateway).
a.
The Cellular strength of the M2M Gateway is
verified using an HTML Interface page in an HTTP
server.
b.
In order to access this page, your computer must
be on the same subnet as the M2M Gateway,
which is shipped set to a default IP subnet mask
(
255 .255 .0 .0
) and IP address (
172 .31 .255 .1
). You
must change the computer’s network settings to
match the subnet (the signal strength verification
process is the same regardless of the operating
system on your computer).
c.
Navigate to your laptop’s Local Area Connection
settings screen and change the IP subnet mask to
255 .255 .0 .0
, and the IP address to be compatible
with the default M2M Gateway IP address
listed above (example:
172 .31 .255 .7
). For more
information on how to change your computer’s IP
settings, consult the Operating System’s “Help”
files.
d. Temporarily disable the wireless adapter(s) on the
computer, as these may prevent accessing the
HTML Interface page.
3.
Open a web browser page and type,
172 .31 .255 .1
, and
then press enter.
a. When prompted, enter the User Name: “
service
”
b.
Enter the unique password that was provided with
the Gateway hardware and press ENTER.
c.
This opens the Gateway home page (
Figure 11
).
4. Click the ‘Status’ tab
a. Select the ‘WWAN Modem’ tab
b.
Under “Signal Quality, verify cellular signal strength
(
Figure 12
).
5.
Adjust antenna as necessary to establish a strong
cellular connection
a.
For reliable operation, signal quality and power
should both be in the good or excellent range.
b. As the antenna is adjusted, be mindful that
signal strength is impacted by structures or other
antennas. As much as practically possible, make
efforts to avoid such interference while adjusting
the antenna.
6.
Once a strong cellular connection is obtained, close the
web browser, and disconnect the Ethernet cable between
the laptop and M2M Gateway.
7. Reconnect the Ethernet cable between the M2M
Gateway and the MicroTech III controller.
8.
Feed excess antenna cable into the control enclosure,
and then tighten waterproof grommet.
9. Add a bead of silicone around the perimeter of the
waterproof grommet penetration into the control
enclosure.
10.
On inside of enclosure, secure excess antenna cable
using zip ties.
