⚙️ Connecting & commissioning your gateway / Notes

Please follow this step-by-step guide to correctly commission your gateway:

🔌 Before Powering On – Connect Components in the Correct Order

Prepare the SIM card:

• Disable PIN protection: Ensure that the SIM card's PIN protection is disabled. This can usually be done in the settings of a mobile phone.

• Insert the SIM card correctly: Make sure the SIM card is inserted properly until it audibly clicks into place.

Make the connections:

• Connect the Ethernet cable: Connect the gateway to your network using an Ethernet cable.
  ⚠️ Note: Do not plug it into the console port. This may damage the port.

• Attach the antenna cable: Connect the antenna to ensure optimal cellular reception.

• Connect the power supply: Plug the gateway into a power source.

🚀 Initial Startup – Step-by-Step

Access the web interface:

• Open a web browser and enter the IP address of the gateway to access the user interface.

Update NTP time server:

• Navigate to Configuration > General.

• Enter an NTP server to synchronize the system time.
  🕒 This is essential for correct operation of certificates and protocols.

Request / upload license:

• Fill in the fields on the gateway's start page.

• Generate a coded string and send it to: support@brevis.one

• You will promptly receive a license file from us.

• Upload the license file via the gateway’s web interface.

Check mobile signal strength:

• Go to Status > Modem Status.

• Check the signal strength.
  📶 A value better than -105 dBm is recommended.

• If the signal is weak: Reposition the antenna – for example, closer to a window or outside the building.

Increase security:

• Change the default password of the gateway.

• If needed, create new user accounts with appropriate permissions.

Check network settings:

• If your network does not use a DHCP server, assign a static IP address.

• Ensure that a default gateway is defined to allow internet access.
