BAPI 50387 Installation & Operating Instructions

50387_Wireless_BLE_Gateway
Overview
● Gateway provides data via MQTT to the cloud
● Each gateway supports up to 32 sensors that can be configured remotely via the
gateway and BAPI's WAM user interface
BAPI's gateway receives the data from one or more sensors and provides the
data to the cloud via MQTT using your local Wi-Fi connection. Sensors can be
configured remotely via the gateway and BAPI's WAM user interface.
The gateway sends a confirmation signal to each sensor upon a successful
reception. If the sensor doesn't receive this confirmation, then the sensor retains
the readings in its onboard memory and transmits them once communication is
re-established.
Note: A WAM subscription is necessary to view sensor data and adjust
sensor settings. See "WAM and the WAM Website" on pg 4.
Powering Up and Connecting the Gateway
Power Up of the Gateway
Attach the provided antennas. Power the unit by inserting the
included Micro USB cable into the "Micro USB" power port or
by connecting a PoE-enabled cable to the PoE Port. Note: The
ethernet port does not have network capabilities at present but is
only used for PoE.
Upon power-up, the green "Power" LED will be blinking rapidly
(on and off about twice per second). This indicates that the
gateway is in SoftAP mode waiting for you to complete the
connection process. If the green "Power" LED is blinking slowly
(on for a second and off for a second), then the gateway will
need to be reset to SoftAP mode. See "Resetting the Gateway
to SoftAP Mode" on pg 3.
Connecting the Gateway
Use your phone, tablet or computer to follow the steps below.
1. With the gateway in SoftAP mode as described above, open
up the Wi-Fi settings on your mobile device or computer and
select "bapi_gateway" from the list of available networks
(Fig 2). If your device asks for a password or network security
key, enter "changebp".
2. Using the same device, open a web browser and enter
"10.10.0.1" into the address bar, not the search bar. The
gateway's list of available Wi-Fi Networks will come up (Fig 3).
3. Click on the desired Wi-Fi network from the "Scan List" and
enter the password for that network (Fig 4). Click Connect.
4. During the connection process, the various LEDs will blink
for 15 to 20 seconds. The connection is complete when the
green "Power" LED is blinking slowly (on for a second, off for
a second) and is the only LED on. You can now close your
web browser window. (Note: If the amber "Wi-Fi" LED doesn't
go out and continues to blink, the connection has failed. See
"Resetting the Gateway" on pg 3.)
