GETTING STARTED WITH AEP MODELS Chapter 7 – Getting Started with AEP Models Logging in to AEP After connecting and powering up your device, log in to AEP: Open an Internet browser. In the browser’s address field, enter the device's default address for the device: http://192.168.2.1 The login page appears.
GETTING STARTED WITH AEP MODELS To enable dial-on-demand, check Dial-on-Demand. This tells the device to only make a PPP connection when there is outgoing IP traffic, and it brings the PPP connection down after a given idle timeout. The default Idle timeout is 180 seconds. If desired, you can enter a different value. Type the APN (Access Point Name).
Getting Started with LoRa Using DeviceHQ for Device Management DeviceHQ is a cloud-based device management tool for remote monitoring, upgrades, and configuration AEP devices.

MOUNTING THE DEVICE Chapter 8 – Mounting the Device Mounting the Device The device ships with a mounting bracket. You will need Mounting bracket MTCAP Four #6 screws, with anchors (not provided) Screwdriver Drill Mounting Bracket Determining Location Follow these guidelines for best performance: The LoRa antenna is omnidirectional, but for best results, mount the device so the LoRa antenna is in a vertical position as shown in the following image.
MOUNTING THE DEVICE Note the LoRa antenna location in the following image. The LoRa signal will be strongest radiating from that side of the device. The LoRa antenna is 31.2 mm long. We recommend conducting a site survey to test the signal strength in different locations before you mount the device.
