6.2 USB
The gateway has a USB Type-C connector which provides a virtual COM port as soon as the service LED (white) turns
on. Accessing the gateway this way allows you to debug and configure the system. This is also the only way to reach
the service terminal when the network is not accessible or not yet configured.
USB Connection consideration
The USB connection should be used exclusively for service administration/configuration and should not be left
connected during normal use. The IP65 level is also not guaranteed during USB service connector use.
To access the gateway through USB:
1. Power up the gateway with passive PoE through the Ethernet connector or through the USB directly
2. Connect a PC to the gateway with a A  C cable
3. The virtual COM port is automatically detected by the PC
a. On Windows a new virtual COM port will appear in the device manager under the name ELMO
GMAS (COMxx)
b. On Linux a new virtual COM port will appear in the folder /dev/ttyACMxx
4. A terminal program like PuTTY or minicom can be used with the following parameters:
baudrate 921600
data bits 8
stop bits 1
parity none
flow control none
