INGICS T ECHNOLOGY Beacon Gateway iGS03W/E/M User Manual Guide Ver.01a iGS03W/E/M is a gateway to bridge the local BLE( Bluetooth® Low Energy) tags, sensors, or beacons to remote server/cloud by WiFi, Ethernet or LTE-M. Through an easy web UI interface, user can configure the Internet access to upload reports to cloud server by TCP, HTTP(S), or MQTT(S). This guide is to help the user to figure out how to operate and configure the iGS03.

INGICS T ECHNOLOGY Overview The iGS03 BLE gateway scans beacons(like iBeacon or Eddystone), proprietary tags, or BLE sensors then sends the payload to TCP, HTTP or MQTT server. Users can configure the transmit period and server endpoint through a simple web UI. There are three models, iGS03W, iGS03E and iGS03M, representing different uploading interfaces, WiFi, Ethernet and LTE-M. Block Diagram I NGICS TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. • SUPPORT@INGICS.COM • WWW.INGICS.
INGICS T ECHNOLOGY SIM To use iGS03M (LTE-M Model), you have to put a Cat-M1 micro SIM card into the socket of iGS03M. Please open the bottom cover to insert the SIM card. The steps to open the bottom cover are as below, Step 1. Remove external BLE antenna Step 2. Remove the screw from bottom cover Step 3. Use finger to press and hold the arrow part Step 4. Pull out the bottom cover I NGICS TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. • SUPPORT@INGICS.COM • WWW.INGICS.
INGICS T ECHNOLOGY WiFi (iGS03W/iGS03M) The 2.4G WiFi AP connection is used to configure the unit through web UI. iGS03 works as an WiFi Access Point(AP) supporting DHCP. Users must connect to this AP to configure the unit. Ethernet (iGS03E) It supports 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX with HP Auto-MDIX. Through the Ethernet, the gateway can bridge your BLE devices to the local TCP server or cloud server for management. iGS03E is a DHCP client by default.
INGICS T ECHNOLOGY GNSS RPTRATE GNSS INFO The interval time for sending GPSR report, default 600 (10 minutes) To get latest GPS status Example case 1: The device is in fixed position: e.g. GNSS ENABLE 1 GNSS FIXCOUNT 5 GNSS FIXRATE 60 GNSS RPTRATE 60 Then GNSS will be enabled and get positioned for 5 times with a 60 seconds interval. GNSS will be off automatically after getting position for 5 times. Example case 2: The device is moving: e.g.

INGICS T ECHNOLOGY Reset to Default Pressing the reset button on your device for over 3 secs to retrieve the default setting. While the network status LED turns into red light, release the button, and the iGS03M will reboot with its default settings. WPS Users can use the WPS button to join iGS03W/M to the WiFi Access Point. First press the WPS button on your Access Point, when it is ready, then press the WPS button for over 1 sec on the iGS03M device to join the Access Point.

INGICS T ECHNOLOGY Web User Interface You can review current configuration or modify it on the web UI. There are various function groups listed on the top of UI. Any change in the page needs to be saved first before switching to another page, otherwise the modification will be lost. And after all changes made, click reboot to make the changes effective. System Display firmware and device information, including MAC address and IP address in station mode are shown here.
INGICS T ECHNOLOGY The scan result list will be displayed on the popup window, and the user can choose the correct AP from the list. SSID: No manual input required. It is automatically filled once a user chooses an AP from the scan result list. Security: Basically it is automatically detected and selected after choosing an AP from the scan list. But in case the AP setting is in WEP open or WEP shared, the user has to confirm it by himself/herself. Password: T ype the one assigned in your AP.
INGICS T ECHNOLOGY clients associated with iGS03 AP will be 192.18.0.X. Applications TCP Server This mode is mainly for testing purposes. Users can check the received data immediately via connecting to the TCP server through WiFi interface. TCP Client iGS03 plays as a TCP client to communicate with a raw TCP server. Enter the address and port number of the TCP server to connect it. HTTP Client Another connection in application is through setting iGS03 as a HTTP client.
INGICS T ECHNOLOGY MQTT Client Configure iGS03 to connect MQTT broker for publishing data. In this scenario, one has to assign the MQTT host address and port number. Also the publish topic needs to be assigned. Client ID is defaultly assigned as the gateway name with part of MAC address, users can change it as well. If the Client ID is not set, the system will generate a random number for it. Username and password are optional. Users can enable MQTTS support.
INGICS T ECHNOLOGY Common Settings Content Type Users can choose the report data in plain text format or JSON string. Keep Alive This option is available for HTTP clients. The device will use HTTP persistent connection to reuse existing tcp sessions. This enhances the HTTP efficiency. Append Timestamp Devices add the timestamp information in the BLE package format as stated on the page. Users can choose to use the unit in seconds or milliseconds.
INGICS T ECHNOLOGY Cloud IoT Helper The cloud IoT helper can be launched by the “magic wand”, it is used to assist users to configure AWS IoT, Azure IoT or Google Cloud IoT usage. Advanced BLE Configuration BLE PHY Mode Users can choose to use LE 1M PHY or LE Coded PHY (Long-Range Mode). Active Scan Mode Enable active scanning. BLE Filter Users can set the BLE filter to filter out the unwanted BLE advertising data. There are three kinds of filters supported by iGS03.
INGICS T ECHNOLOGY Users can set up to 6 entries of the payload filter to make sure only relevant information is received. If the pattern list is empty, it means the payload whitelist function is disabled, all payload will be allowed. BLE MAC Whitelist Set BLE beacon MAC addresses to configure the BLE MAC whitelist. Gateway will only report the advertising data broadcasted from the beacons which match the whitelist. Users can set up to 10 MACs to make sure only relevant information is received.
INGICS T ECHNOLOGY his/her own DNS servers. GNSS Settings Users can enable the GNSS function here. NTP Setting To open the NTP Setting UI, click the “clock” icon in the UI header. User has to set the time server and the update period to enable NTP. Login Password One can change the login password from the “people” icon on the UI header. Be aware that it changes the login password of the telnet console, too. I NGICS TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. • SUPPORT@INGICS.COM • WWW.INGICS.
