Multi Gateway admin panel
The Multi Gateway can provide various details about its status and the devices that are connected to it. To check this information, we'll need to access the Multi Gateway admin panel. This is done by entering the IP address of the Gateway within a browser and add ':8080'.
192.168.2.1:8080The IP address can be found within the GoBright portal under Settings > Devices. When entered correctly the following screen will appear:
Log in using the pin code that has been set within the Multi Gateway profile. There are three main buttons on the top-right corner of the screen: Home, Settings & Devices
Home
This screen displays information regarding the Multi Gateway itself and gives an overview of the current status. On the left-hand side, the 'System Information' is displayed and the right-hand side displays its connection 'Status'.
Beneath this information, a log is printed with the most recent connections from and to the Multi Gateway from the connected devices.
Settings
The Multi Gateway has a couple of settings that can be changed and a function to 'Reboot' the device:
- Configure the NTP Server
- Configure the Zigbee channel*
- Activate / Deactivate the Multi Gateway
*Note that the Zigbee channel can interfere with other wireless signals that use the same frequency. If you experience any problems with connectivity, try changing the Zigbee channel if it's causing interference with other signals (more information).
Devices
Displays a list of all connected devices and their current status. Using the 'detail' button after each device retrieves more information and displays all recent messages.
It's possible to check which device is connected by checking the Serial number against the number displayed within the GoBright portal under Sensors & Connects.
Connecting to the admin panel without accessing the LAN network
In some cases, it is not possible to connect to the admin panel of the Multi Gateway, because the network cannot be accessed with e.g. a laptop.
In this case the Multi Gateway can temporarily act as a Wi-Fi Access point, with the sole purpose of accessing the admin panel.
Steps to access the admin panel via Wi-Fi:
- On the top of the Multi gateway device there is a physical button, keep this button pressed for 60 seconds, until the 'Wi-Fi' icon on the gateway is lit.
- Now the Multi gateway acts as a Wi-Fi access point, which you can connect to with your laptop:
- The Wi-Fi network name is: gw- [last 4 characters of the Multi gateways serial number]
- The network key is the installation code of the Multi gateway (without spaces, case-sensitive)
- Once your laptop is connected, it will get an IP address from the Multi gateway
- Now you can access the admin panel by browsing to: http://192.168.2.10:8080
- Notes:
- The laptop will not get access to the LAN side to which the Multi gateway is connected (it is not routing the traffic).
This means that your laptop will not have e.g. internet access when connected via Wi-Fi to the Multi gateway. - Because the laptop has no internet access, it might try to stop the Wi-Fi connection to the Multi Gateway and prefer another Wi-Fi connection because that has internet. To mitigate the only option is to 'forget' the normal Wi-Fi connection in the Wi-Fi settings of the laptop.
- You can turn off the Wi-Fi access point mode of the Multi Gateway by:
- again, pressing the top button for 60 seconds
- or it will be automatically turned off when the gateway reboots.
- This mode is supported from gateway firmware version v5.9 and higher.
- The laptop will not get access to the LAN side to which the Multi gateway is connected (it is not routing the traffic).
The Multi Gateway has 4 LEDs which show the state of the Multi gateway.
