Boot and power-off ​

The gateway boot process takes about 30s and it takes additional 10s before Gateway led described in below chapter LED operation is stabilized.

It is recommended to power-off the gateway using Gateway button described in below chapter Button and then unplug the power supply. It takes about 30s to shutdown the device completely. This ensures correct power-off of the device.

LED operation ​

IQD-GW02

There are 2 two-colour LEDs available on the gateway. IQRF Coordinator LED and Gateway LED. Gateway LED follows these rules:

  • Green LED slow flashing means that IQRF Gateway daemon is running in operational/forwarding mode.
  • Green LED fast flashing means that IQRF Gateway daemon is running in service mode.
  • Red LED slow flashing means that IQRF Gateway daemon service is not running.
  • Red LED fast flashing means that IQRF Gateway daemon interface is not correctly configured.

Button ​

While button is being pressed green LED is on.

  • after 2s of being pressed red led flashes 1x: selected daemon API call is executed upon button release
  • after 6s of being pressed red led flashes 2x: gateway power off is executed upon button release
  • after 10s of being pressed red led flashes 3x: gateway factory setting is executed upon button release

Tip: Daemon API call for execution upon button release can be configured in config/controller UI page.Tip: Use the button to power off the gateway gracefully in order to preserve the SD card.Note: Factory setting does not clear all bonded devices from the coordinator by default. See config/controller UI page.

Log in ​

Web server is running on default port 80 by default. Create your username and password when login for the first time or after restoring default setting using Gateway button. There is a few steps guide to assist with initial setup.

Guide steps such as SMTP server setting, SSH keys adding are optional and can be skipped and if needed it can be configured later.
