Q1: GW300 provides three data uplink modes. How to determine the current data uplink mode used by the gateway? A1: The GW300 gateway supports Ethernet, 4G and WIFI (not yet open) as data uplink modes, and the priority level is set as Ethernet, WIFI and 4G respectively. That is, when there is a network cable connection at the WAN port, data uplink is carried out through Ethernet first, followed by WIFI (not yet open), and finally, 4G. - Page 36 Is the SDK configuration launched consistent? Q6: How to resolve firmware upgrade failure? A6: Power on GW300. If the status indicator LED1 (red) is always on, it means that the firmware upgrade failed last time. Just repeat the upgrade, refer to Section 8 of this document for details.
