Quickstart
Setup Guide

Deploy your Epithos IIoT Gateway in under 15 minutes. This guide covers hardware setup through IP address retrieval and connection ports guideline.

01

Unboxing & Powering On

Ensure your package contains the IIoT Gateway, one high-gain antennas, and the industrial DIN-rail mounting kit. Inspect the chassis for any shipping damage before proceeding.
  • Connect the power cable to power supply connector
  • The power supply range is 9V-36V, with the positive terminal near the HDMI end. Note: Incorrect polarity can cause damage to the machine.
  • The default network connection method of the machine is DHCP to automatically obtain an IP address. After the network is connected normally, the two indicator lights on the network port will light up simultaneously.
02

Obtain IP Address

  • Use LAN IP address scanning software "Angry IP Scanner" to obtain all scanned LAN IP addresses.
  • After downloading and installing the software, open the software and you will see the following interface. Click Scan to start scanning.The IP address corresponding to the "EPG-001B" device is the actual IP address of the machine.
  • The machine with the device name "EPG-001B" in the scanning results corresponds to the DHCP address of the machine.
03

Accessing Cockpit

  • Enter the following link in the browser to enter the login interface:
    https://your_ip_address:9090/.
  • Replace "your_ipaddress" with the actual IP address of the machine. such as "https://192.168.10.36:9090".
  • Enter your username and password, then click login. The default username for the machine is "admin", and the password is "admin".
  • Click on the terminal to enter the shell interface, where you can update various devices of the system or operating system.
04

Connection Interface

The correspondence between ttySx device nodes and interfaces.
  • ttyS0 -- LORA
  • ttyS1 -- RS485
  • ttyS4 -- RS232
  • ttyUSB0-ttyUSB3 -- 4G-LTE
05

RS485 & RS323

stty -F /dev/ttyS1 raw speed 115200 //Configure RS485 baud rate to 115200 echo "hello world" > /dev/ttyS1 //Send "hello world" to RS485 port You can also operate the serial port through C or Python.
06

4G Cellular

  • After inserting the 4G module and SIM card, the machine will automatically complete the dialing operation after booting up.
  • After successful dialing, the system will display the following ppp0 network nodes.
  • The default 4G-LET module model currently used is EC20.
07

WiFi

  • The default WIFI module model used by the machine is BL-R7601MU5, which uses the MT7601U chip.
  • The system has already integrated drivers and firmware by default, and can be used by plugging in the module.
07

LoRa

    • The module defaults to using ttyS0 as the communication port, and the GPIO corresponding to the M0 M1 signal selected for mode is shown in the following figure. M0 of the module corresponds to GPIO66, M1 corresponds to GPIO67, and AUX signal corresponds to GPIO70.
    • Several working modes of LORA module.
      Configuration mode M0 M1 level
      Configuration M0=0 M1=0
      Working M0=1 M1=0
      Low power M0=1 M1=1
    • Operation steps
      • 1.Enter configuration mode（M0=0 M1=0 stty -F /dev/ttyS0 raw speed 9600 //Configure ttyS0 rate to 9600 echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio66/value //Configure M0 to low echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio67/value //Configure M1 to low 2.Configure group number and address stty -F /dev/ttyS0 raw speed 9600 //Configure ttyS0 rate to 9600 echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio66/value //Configure M0 to low echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio67/value //Configure M1 to low 3.Configure channels and power
      • For example, channel 20 [10100], power 21dBm [11], airspeed 9.6K [011]
      • Sort as 1010011011, convert to hexadecimal as 0x9b
      • The command is: 800601029b
      echo -ne '\x80\x06\x01\x02\x9b' >/dev/ttyS0 //Configure Configure group number to 0x01 4.Switch to normal working mode（M0=1 M1=0） echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio66/value //Configure M0 to high echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio67/value //Configure M1 to low 5.Transparent transmission of data
      • Note that the receiving module needs to maintain the same address and channel as the sending module.
      echo -e 'hello coolpi' >/dev/ttyS0
