# Network Configuration

The ASAS Gateway is designed for straightforward network setup. It can connect to your local network and the internet (backhaul) using Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or a 4G LTE modem.

# Ethernet (LAN Interface) - Automatic Connection

The Ethernet interface provides the most straightforward and typically most reliable connection.

  1. Plug and Play: Simply connect an Ethernet cable from the gateway's Ethernet port to your router or network switch.
  2. Automatic Configuration: The gateway is configured as a DHCP client by default. It will automatically obtain an IP address, subnet mask, gateway address, and DNS server information from your router. No further configuration is usually required for the Ethernet connection to be active.

# Wi-Fi (Wireless Client) - Pre-configured for "Test" Network

The gateway can be pre-configured to connect to a specific Wi-Fi network for testing or initial deployment. For this example, it's set to connect to a network named "Test".

  1. Ensure "Test" Network is Available: Make sure a Wi-Fi network with the following details is active and within range of the gateway:
    • SSID (Network Name): Test
    • Password (WPA Passphrase): 456123789
  2. Automatic Connection: If the gateway is powered on and this "Test" network is available, it should attempt to connect automatically after booting up.

# 4G LTE Modem - SIM Card Insertion

If your ASAS Gateway includes a cellular modem, connecting via 4G LTE is as simple as inserting an activated SIM card.

  1. SIM Card Preparation:
    • Obtain a valid, activated SIM card from your mobile carrier with a suitable data plan.
    • Note the APN (Access Point Name) if your carrier requires it for data connections (though many common APNs are often auto-detected).
  2. Insert SIM Card:
    • Power off the ASAS Gateway completely.
    • Carefully insert the SIM card into the gateway's SIM slot, ensuring correct orientation as per any diagrams on the gateway.
  3. Power On & Automatic Connection: Power the gateway back on. The gateway will initialize the modem and attempt to connect to the cellular network automatically. This may take a few minutes.

Important Notes:

  • Default Priority: The gateway typically prioritizes network connections in the following order: Ethernet > Wi-Fi > 4G LTE. If a higher priority connection is active, it will generally be used.
  • Save & Apply: When making manual changes in the Web Interface, always remember to click a 'Save & Apply' (or similar) button for the new settings to take effect. You might temporarily lose connection if you are changing the IP address or network interface you are currently using to access the Web Interface.
