IOT Gateway User Guide
12. Network Architecture
The IOTGateway can be configured via a web application running on the device. A Chrome
browser is recommended to use for the configuration either from a computer or mobile device.
The web configuration tool running on the IOTGateway provides a variety of configuration
settings such as Wi-Fi SSID and Password, LTE APN and Network connection (Wi-Fi,
Ethernet, LTE)
As shown above, each base station has two interfaces with different IP addresses. One of
these IP addresses (referred to as the WAN port) is used to connect to the internet network
(MQTT server), which has a series of firewall rule protection. The other IP address (referred to
as LAN port, also known as the intranet interface) is used for Wi-Fi hotspot broadcasting.
WAN Port: This interface supports Wi-Fi, ETH (network wire) or LTE Network. The
IOTGateway can connect to a router via Wi-Fi or LAN network cable. Alternatively, if
equipped with an LTE modem,the IOT Gateway can connect to the network via the LTE
modem In all cases the IP addresses are assigned by routers/Cellular Network. The base station
is connected to the MQTT/HTTPs server through this interface. For WAN address IP address
configuration see "12.2.1 configuring WAN port network connection".
LAN port: This interface only supports Wi-Fi. The default IP address of this interface is
192.168.8.1, a PC or mobile device can connect to this interface through Wi-Fi, or the next
IOTGateway can connect to the internet via the upper layer IOTGateway.
The gateway can only be configured through the Wi-Fi interface. Configuration via the
ethernet port is not possible.
