Connectivity checks


In case of a failing connection, please perform the below checks for your chosen connectivity option.

Ethernet checks:

Is there a firewall in place? If so, are the domains whitelisted

Is there an HTTP proxy? If so, ensure set-up via the setup tool 

Is the ethernet cable plugged into the correct ethernet port?

Is the IP address of the network overlapping with the IP address of the sensors (192.168.1.X)? If so, reach out to Samotics

Is there a DHCP or Static IP address used? If so, set up correctly via the setup tool 

Does the ethernet connection work when plugged into a laptop?

Wi-Fi checks:

Is there a firewall in place? If so, are the domains whitelisted?

Is there an HTTP proxy? If so, ensure set-up via setup tool 

Is the IP address of the network overlapping with the IP address of the sensors (192.168.1.X)? If so, reach out to Samotics 

Is the antenna installed to the correct Wi-Fi port

Does the network show up in the setup tool?

Is the correct network frequency used? (The gateway can only connect to 2.4 GHz networks)

Is the correct authentication used? (Only WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK)

Is it possible to connect to the network via a laptop?

4G checks:

Are both antennas connected to the correct 4G ports?

Is the sim card placed in the sim card holder on the gateway underneath the LEDs?

Are the antennas located at the optimal spot. The signal strength can be checked in real-time via the setup tool
