WNTD WiFi Gateway – A (very) Quick Start Guide
I usually avoid reading User Guides until something catches fire (after which I try and shift
the blame to the supplier and/or manufacturer)
Now I'm the supplier and manufacturer, I have to write the guide, and somehow convince
you to read it.
Shit.
The Gateway comes bundled with a 12-volt Car Charger and 12-volt Wall Charger. Both
attach to a small DC socket next to the power switch.
To charge the unit, plug one of the chargers in while the unit is off, then turn the unit on.
The unit must be switched on for the batteries to
completely isolates the batteries. A full charge from a completely empty pack will take up to
six hours
The gateway cannot be used while charging is in progress - This is a safety feature,
implemented (in part) due to paranoia after many years of cannabis abuse (also, exploding
batteries give me a bit of a fright)
The current battery voltage is displayed using four 'Battery Voltage' indicator LEDs – If the
first LED is blinking, the battery pack is critically low and should be recharged immediately.
An animation will be displayed by the battery LEDs if the unit is currently charging. Once the
battery is fully charged, all the LEDs will remain on solid. Ideally, you should place the unit
on charge every couple of days to ensure little downtime.
Please follow all the precautions printed on the front panel of the unit for your own safety;
Keep a spare pair of undies on-hand just in case.

    I forgot to fix this issue before manufacture. It won’t cause any harm, though. If any of the above LEDs are not on, please abuse email Ahmad@UltraKeet.com.au Smartphone/Tablet connection (WiFi) With the device still unplugged from everything, switch it on, and try and connect to it via WiFi using your Smartphone/Tablet.
  • Page 3 Smartphone/Tablet connection (continued) Your WiFi Key is printed on an adhesive label, which is attached to the bottom of the Gateway. We tried to ensure the keys are secure while still being somewhat memorable: Once you’re connected via WiFi, the WiFi Link LED on the front of your device should turn blue, and it’s time to launch your favorite Terminal Emulator application.

  • Page 8 Smartphone/Tablet connection (continued) If the data on the page appears to be garbled (ie: not quite fitting on the screen, or wrapping onto multiple lines), you may have to adjust the display size. In vSSH on IOS, this is done by changing the Width and Height parameters to 80 and 25 in the settings menu, as discussed previously.
  • Page 9 Try a USB connection if all else fails. USB should always work, as the data shit out by the WNTD Antenna is essentially passed onto the USB port unmodified. Please email Ahmad@UltraKeet.com.au if you’re able to connect via USB, but not WiFi.
  • Page 10 USB/Laptop connection (Continued) To connect via USB, plug the mini-USB cable (supplied) into both the USB port on the front of the gateway, and a free USB port on your laptop. The WNTD antenna should not be plugged in at this point. The USB Link LED on the front of the unit should be blue, and the USB Data LED may flicker yellow for a few moments.

    USB/Laptop Troubleshooting We’ve yet to experience any issues with USB – Please let us know if you experience any. At worst, we can help you set-up your gateway remotely using Remote Desktop. General Troubleshooting Symptom: The Fuse OK LED is not on If the Fuse OK LED is no longer on, but all other LEDs act normally, the fuse is blown, possibly due to a faulty WNTD or interconnecting lead.
  • Page 14 Ericsson have likely updated the firmware on the WNTD antennas to ‘talk’ at a higher speed on the console port. Try connecting via USB instead of WiFi momentarily. If USB works as intended, please email Ahmad@UltraKeet.com.au urgently with a screenshot of the issue, as well as a screenshot of everything working via USB (such that...
