4. CONFIGURE CONNECTIVITY TO SMARTWORX HUB

All configuration of the SmartSwarm 342 IoT Gateway can be performed using the SmartWorx Hub cloud based

management platform.

SmartWorx Hub is accessed via the primary uplink port on the SmartSwarm 342. This is ETH1 if it is

connected to a local LAN providing outbound (internet) access or the cellular connection if no

outbound LAN connection exists via ETH1.

The connection status to SmartWorx Hub is indicated by the LEDs on the front panel of the

SmartSwarm Gateway. The USR LED will be solid ON (yellow) if a secure connection to SmartWorx

Hub has been achieved.

If the internet connection is to be via cellular connection, then ensure that appropriate antennas are connected,

and SIM card inserted, before moving on to the first step below.

Connect a local laptop or desktop PC to ETH0. Open a browser and navigate to 192.168.1.1. Note that if you have

another LAN connection (e.g. via Wi-Fi) you may need to disconnect this second session, depending upon your

network settings and the domain of the LAN.

Enter the APN name and optional credentials as required by your SIM card provider / network operator. Apply it.

The WAN LED will turn ON (yellow) when the cellular connection has been successfully established.

The USR LED will turn on (yellow) when the device successfully makes a secure connection with SmartWorx Hub

(https://hub.bb-smartworx.com).

There is no specific setup step for this, This will happen automatically as soon as the Device has a valid WAN route

through which it can make a secure connection to SmartWorx Hub.
