Description

This article will guide you how to connect Milesight Gateway to the Internet.


Requirement

Milesight LoRaWAN Gateway UG6x or UG8x.



Configuration

Connect via Ethernet

1. Go to Network -> Interface -> Port to configure WAN settings and click Save & Apply.

Connection type: Static IP, DHCP Client, PPPoE.

DNS server: Resolve or translate domain name into public IP addresses needed for your device to actually communicate with that site.

  • Static IP

IP address: Define according to your network device subnet. For example, if your network router LAN port IP is 192.168.22.1, the UG6x/UG8x Ethernet port IP should be 192.168.22.x.

Gateway: Upper router/switch IP address.

 


Note:

If "IP address conflict" is displayed while saving, the problem may be caused by a conflict between the configured Static IP and the default wlan network segment range of the gateway WiFi (AP mode).  

When the gateway WIFI is working in AP mode, the DHCP Server of the gateway will assign IP to the devices connected to the gateway Wifi, and the IP range is 192.168.1.100~192.168.1.199 by default. 

So if the Static IP of gateway you want to config is 192.168.1.x . You could change the WiFi network segment of the gateway to a different segment to avoid the confict, for example, 192.168.2.100~192.168.2.199.



  • DHCP Client

If the upper router has DHCP server enabled, you can configure the gateway as DHCP Client. Gateway IP address can be found on router DHCP list.


  • PPPoE

Type username and password of dialing account.


2. Connect gateway Ethernetport to router/switch and use WAN IP address to access the web GUI of gateway.

3. Go to Maintenance -> Tools -> Ping to check network connection.


 

Connect via Cellular

1. Insert SIM card to SIM slot correctly.

Note: Make sure SIM card is charged and can be used in other network devices like cellphone.


2. Go to Network->Interface->Cellular to enable and configure cellular settings.


  • Type APN and other SIM card information.
  • Type correct ICMP server.
  • Enable Roaming if your SIM card is a roaming card.
  • Click Save and Apply.


3. Go to Status-> Cellular to check the status of cellular connection.


4. Go to Maintenance -> Tools -> Ping to check network connection.
