TYPES OF CONNECTION 3.1 Connection to the Internet through 2G/3G network Translation from original instructions We reserve the right to make changes without any prior notice.
DEVICE ACCESS TO THE INTERNET 4.3 Connection to the Internet through 3G or Ethernet To correctly configure the Blueye device, it is necessary to access through a web page. Once the IP address of the Blueye has been typed in (10.2.3.30 by default), the authentication password will be requested. As default for these devices, we have: username: admin password: MAC address of the ETH0 Ethernet port without the colon, therefore: 9c53cd00990b...
CONNECTION TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD The Blueye device can communicate with the outside world in two distinct ways: The first requires installation of a SIM Card that will allow navigation on the Internet, whereas the second requires connection, through special connection cable, of the device to an Internet access point provided by the existing IT infrastructure.
5.2.2 First Configuration To configure the Blueye device connection parameters, proceed as follows: Connect the eth0 port of the device to a computer through a direct Ethernet cable (patch UTP5). On the computer, set a static IP address IPv4 in class 10.2.3.x (example 10.2.3.29) and a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0. Translation from original instructions We reserve the right to make changes without any prior notice.

Follow the instructions given in the "Device access to the Internet" chapter to carry out the authentication procedure (login). Open a web browser at the following address: http://10.2.3.30 Click on “Configuration”, and the following page will be displayed. “Configuration” page Enter information regarding the telephone service provider in the “GPRS/3G” field. You will have to configure the APN parameter (according to the chosen telephone service provider) and, if necessary, the username and password (leave blank if not used).

You can check the settings made are correct through the “Status” page. Status page This gives some important information regarding the Blueye device configurations of its main features: for example, the unique IMEI number for each device. A setting example is given below. Error page Translation from original instructions We reserve the right to make changes without any prior notice.
5.3 Connection to the Internet through existing network If the Blueye device is connected to the Internet through an existing networking infrastructure, then proceed as described below. 5.3.1 First Configuration Connect the eth0 port of the device to a computer through a direct Ethernet cable (patch UTP5). On the computer, set a static IP address IPv4 in class 10.2.3.x (example 10.2.3.29) and a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0.
Open a web browser at the following address: http://10.2.3.30 Click on “Configuration”, and the following page will be displayed. “Configuration” page Enter information regarding the connection to the Web on the LAN eth0 port. Enter information regarding the connection to the device to be interrogated on the LAN eth1 port. Enter the method with which to connect to the Internet on “WAN”, in this case: If connection with the device to be interrogated takes place through RS-485 network, leave this field blank.
5.5 Connection to the Internet through VPN (Connect) The "Connect" function allows you to access your units provided with the Blueye device. Each Blueye device is configured with an IP class dedicated to your LAN, for example 172.16.222.0/24. This means the router can address up to 253 devices in the IP 172.16.222.1 – 172.16.222.254 range. 5.5.1 Client configuration When the VPN access is issued, the account consisting of the following data will be communicated.

When prompted, type the following command and press "Enter": netsh int ipv4 add route <IP_CLASS> "Blueye Cloud Connect VPN" where: - <IP_CLASS> is to be replaced with the class assigned to the router and/or to the devices you want to reach through the VPN connection.
INDICATOR LED OPERATION 7.1 Normal operation In normal operating conditions, the LEDs must have the following status: STATUS LED > flashing green NET LED > red on FIELD LED > off with brief flashes during Modbus polling 7.2 Error signalling STATUS LED steady orange When the orange STATUS LED comes on steady, it means there is an irreversible hardware failure.
7.3 Factory Reset (Restoration of factory settings) Restoring the factory default settings will cancel all the settings present in the Blueye. The factory default settings should be restored only with the Manufacturer's permission. Disconnect the connections present at ports eth0 and eth1 from the Blueye. To restore the factory settings (factory reset): 1.

8.7 Guidelines for connection of peripherals on RS-485 8.7.1 Standard RS-485 The standard RS-485 is based on a balanced signal system. This means that the two electrical signals are ideally the op- posite of each other, compared to earth. The transmission line must consist of a twisted pair cable, which is especially immune to electromagnetic interference. 8.7.2 Transmission cable Always use a cable with a suitable degree of shielding to prevent interference risks, especially where there are power si-...
8.7.3 Network connection • As far as possible, limit the RS-485 network to a single main line (one segment) • Limit the total length of the main line to a maximum of 500 m • Consider 500m as maximum for a baud rate at 2400 •...
8.7.4 Configurations to avoid RS-485 networks use a so-called daisy chain configuration. This means there is only one main line (cable) and all the peripherals are directly connected along the path of this line. When other types of connection are used (e.g. centre-star, T branches), operation of the network cannot be guaranteed, especially where there are electromagnetic interference, considerably long networks and a high number of nodes.
8.7.6 RS-485 bus polarization For correct operation of an RS-485 network, the electrical signals must be correctly polarized. When all the SLAVE Modbus peripherals are in reception status and the MASTER peripheral (namely Blueye) is not inter- rogating, the RS-485 bus is in a high impedance state. In some cases, this can cause the bus to pick up electromagnetic interference from the outside that can be interpreted as real signals by the listening receivers.
