InGateway501 Quick Start Manual

This document is used to explain the basic configuration operations of InGateway501 (IG501 for short) networking, software version update, etc., so that users can master the basic configuration of IG501 and the use of common functions.

1. Configure IG501 Network Parameters

1.1 Access the IG501

  • Step 1: Set the PC’s IP address to be on the same subnet with FE 0/1. By default, the IP address of FE 0/1 on IG501 is 192.168.1.1.

    • Method 1: Enable the PC to obtain an IP address automatically (recommended)

3. Python Edge Computing

3.1 Install and run Python App

To install and run Python App (App for short) in IG501, please refer to the following process:

  • Step 1: Install the App

    Before installing the App, you need to ensure that the Python Edge Computing Engine is enabled and the Python SDK is installed, as shown in the following figure:

    _images/2020-02-12-14-41-48.png

    Choose Edge Computing > Python Edge Computing. click the Add button and select the App package file to be installed, then click OK.

    _images/2020-02-12-14-51-36.png

    After importing, you can view the imported Apps, as shown in the following figure:

    _images/2020-02-12-14-53-53.png

  • Step 2: Run the App

    Select enable App and click Submit.

    _images/2020-02-12-14-56-05.png

    Once enabled, the App automatically runs and will run every time the IG501 is started.

3.2 Update Configuration File for App

If the installed App supports importing configuration files to modify the running mode, you can update the App running configuration by referring to the following process:

  • Step 1: Choose Edge Computing > Python Edge Computing, click the Import Configuration button and select the configuration file to be imported, then click Confirm.

    _images/2020-02-12-15-01-54.png

  • Step 2: Restart the App after the import is successful. After the App restarts, it will runing according to the imported configuration file.

After the debugging mode is enabled, IG501 will start an SSH server to listen on port 222 of LAN (default IP address being 192.168.1.1). The user name and password of the SSH server are displayed on the previous web page. A random password is generated every time the debugging mode is enabled or the IG501 is restarted to ensure security.

4. Device Manager

The Device Manager developed by InHand supports functions such as monitoring IG501 status, remote maintenance of equipment, remote batch delivery of IG501 configuration, and IG501 batch upgrade, helping users to conveniently and efficiently manage IG501 and field devices. In order to enable the Device Manager to remotely manage the IG501 and field devices, the IG501 needs to be connected to the cloud platform. The connection method is as follows:Choose System Management > Device Manager, tick Enable Device Manager and configure the corresponding server address and registered account, and click Submit after the configuration is complete.

  • Server address: the address of the Device Manager. The address of the Device Manager developed by InHand is as follows:
    • Domestic version Device Manager：c.inhandcloud.com
    • Overseas version Device Manager：iot.inhandnetworks.com
    • Domestic version InConnect：ics.inhandiot.com
    • Overseas version InConnect：ics.inhandnetworks.com
  • Registered account: the Device Manager account associated with the IG501 device (if you have not registered an account, you need to register an account first)
  • Advanced settings: Contains configurations such as heartbeat interval. Generally, you can use the default configuration.

Factory reset

There are two ways to restore the IG501 to factory settings: hardware factory reset and software factory reset.

  • Hardware factory reset

    • Step 1: Find the RESET button on the operation panel;
    • Step 2: Hold down the RESET button within 10s after the device is powered on;
    • Step 3: When the WARN indicator turns yellow, release the RESET button;
    • Step 4: After a few seconds, when the WARN indicator turns off, hold down the RESET button again;
    • Step 5: When you see the WARN indicator blink, release the RESET button. After a while, the WARN indicator turns off, the factory settings of the device have been restored.

  • Software factory reset

    Choose System Management > Configuration Management, click the reset button and select OK. IG501 will complete the factory reset operation by itself.
