1. Basic configuration

Visit the configuration web page to make its basic configuration.

1.1 Configuration Method

You can access the configuration page of the gateway in the following two ways.

1.1.1 Connect to the gateway AP to access the configuration page

The gateway has the AP mode, which can be used for the gateway configuration. Does not
affect the networking mode of the current gateway as a client.
The AP mode provides a WiFi hotspot with the SSID name "GW-XXXXXXXXXXXX", and the
XXXXXXXXXXXX is the hexadecimal capital character corresponding to the gateway MAC
address. After connecting to the gateway WiFi, use a computer or mobile phone browser to open
the link: http://192.168.99.1 to enter the login interface of the configuration interface (see the
figure below).
By default, no password is required to connect to this WiFi hotspot. If you need to control
the access rights of third parties, you can modify the AP SSID name in the configuration
interface, the IP address should be set as 192.168.X.1 (the gateway subnet network segment

1.1.2 Access the configuration page within the LAN

As long as the devices with browsers such as computers and mobile phones are in the same
LAN as the gateway, the computer can enter the configuration page of the gateway by entering
the IP address in the browser without connecting to the WiFi hotspot of the gateway.
It should be noted that the IP address of the gateway device is not necessarily 192.168.99.1,
and you can scan the IP address acquired by the gateway through the ARP scanning tool (through
the router or Linux command, etc.)

View through router

Some enterprise-level routers can view the ARP list (the list of IP addresses and MAC
addresses) on the management page of the router.
Website：www.minew.com Email: [email protected] 7
 SHENZHEN MINEW TECHNOLOGIES CO LTD

View from a Linux computer

 Take Ubuntu as an example, install the arp-scan command

$ sudo apt-get install arp-scan
 Run the command to view the IP-MAC list
$ sudo arp-scan -l
 Run the command to filter out the MAC address of the gateway
$ sudo arp-scan -l | grep "ac:23"

View from a Windows computer

Download the arp-scan tool from github

https://github.com/QbsuranAlang/arp-scan-windows-
If your LAN is 192.168.0.1, the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0
Run the command as follows:
arp-scan -t 192.168.0.1/24
The meaning here is to scan the LAN IP: 192.168.0.x (from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.255).
24 means the number of binary 1s in the subnet mask (255.255.255.0).

2. Network configuration

The MG6 gateway can connect to the network in three ways: Ethernet, Wireless, and
Cellular. The MG6 gateway can maintain the connection of multiple networks at the same time,
and the combination of connecting networks can be Ethernet + Wireless, Ethernet + Cellular, and
Ethernet + Wireless + Cellular. The Gateway enables the dhcp mode by default.

2.1 Ethernet Connection

The MG6 gateway has an RJ45 port, which can be used to access the Internet via a network
cable.
Ethernet Mode has two submodes, DHCP mode (default) and STATIC mode, DHCP mode is
that the gateway automatically obtains the IP address from the superior router, and STATIC mode
is to manually assign a fixed IP address to the gateway. Click on the drop-down menu to select.

2.1.1 DHCP pattern

In the Ethernet Settings column of the gateway configuration interface, select the DHCP
mode and click the "Save" button before the network Settings will take effect. Connect the MG6
gateway and the superior router with the network cable, and the gateway will automatically

obtain the IP address and connect to the network from the superior router through the DHCP
protocol.
If you are already connected to Ethernet, the status items will show Network Mode as
ethernet, and Ethernet IP Address will show the IP of Ethernet, otherwise Ethernet IP Address
will display N/ A.

2.1.2 Static pattern

Connect the MG6 gateway and the superior router with the network cable, select the static
mode in the Ethernet column of the gateway configuration page, fill in the IP address
information, click the "Save" button, and the network setting will take effect and automatically
connect to the network.
If you are already connected to Ethernet, the status item will display Network Mode as
ethernet and Ethernet IP Address displays Ethernet IP, otherwise Ethernet IP Address will display

has ICMP protocol enabled, or has a page,
otherwise the gateway will not be able to ping its
IP or WGET URL.

2.2Wireless linkage

The MG6 gateway can be used as a WLAN client to connect to the WLAN AP and realize
the data communication with the server.
Wireless Mode has two submodes, DHCP mode (default) and STATIC mode, DHCP mode is
that the gateway automatically obtains the IP address from the superior router, and STATIC mode
is to manually assign a fixed IP address to the gateway.

2.2.1 DHCP pattern

In the Wireless Settings section of the Network Configuration interface, Profile list is the list
of configured WLAN SSID.
Select the WLAN SSID that the gateway wants to connect from the Available Access Point
list, and the corresponding relevant information, such as ssid, bssid (MAC address), encryption
and signal channel, is displayed in the text box below.
We only need to select the corresponding SSID, fill in the password, select the dhcp mode,
and then click "Save profile" to add only the WIFI profile. If you have multiple WIFI AP, you
can repeat the above, add multiple alternate WIFI to a "Profile", switching WLAN SSID and
"save profile" will not delete the previously configured WIFI. The gateway tries to switch to the
available WIFI in the current Profile.
It is worth noting that the Save profile button means that only the profile is saved to the
gateway, but it does not take effect. If it needs to take effect immediately, click "Apply" to restart
the network service.
If you have been connected to the specified WIFI, the status item displays Network Mode as

2.4 Failover

Gateways support any network in Ethernet, WIFI, and cellular networks, and can also enable
networking where two or three of them coexist. When multiple networks coexist, the network
usage priority is from high to low as: Ethernet> Wireless> Cellular. The gateway will adjust the
network mode according to the availability and priority of the network.
In any case, no matter how the user configure WIFI, whether the cellular network is usable,
as long as the gateway is plugged and the network is available, the Ethernet connection is
preferred. Assuming all three gateway network connections exist, it will try to switch to WIFI
when Ethernet is unavailable, and again, when WIFI is not available, it will try to switch to a
cellular network.
Failover Please refer to for the detailed description of the general properties interface 2.4.1
Ethernet + Wireless connection

pour: There is a detailed explanation

Website：www.minew.com Email: [email protected] 22
 SHENZHEN MINEW TECHNOLOGIES CO LTD

Note: If only WIFI is currently available and the WIFI network check fails, the gateway
switches between multiple WIFI hotspots. If no WIFI hotspot is available, it switches to the AP _
only mode.
AP _ ONLY mode: AP _ ONLY mode refers to the gateway does not connect to the
superior WiFi hotspot, and only launches its own hot spot, so that after the superior WiFi
hotspot fails, users can also re-enter the configuration page with the help of the gateways
own hot spot.

 SHENZHEN MINEW TECHNOLOGIES CO LTD

switch to WIFI. If the hotspot network inspection in the current Profile List fails, the gateway
will switch to other hot spots in the Profile List in order. When the network inspection fails many
times, the gateway will add the failed hot spots to the blacklist. When the hot spot is added to the
blacklist, the gateway will not try again until the blacklist expires. When none of the hotspots in
the Profile List are available, the gateway switches to the AP_ONLY mode, and during the
AP_ONLY mode, the gateway automatically retries to connect to the Profile List hotspot.
If the later Ethernet is available, the gateway will use an Ethernet connection.

The WIFI specific attribute interface fields are described below.

it will try to switch to WIFI, see above for the WIFI section The Ethernet + Wireless connection
As described in, again, when WIFI is not available, it will try to switch to a cellular network. If
the later Ethernet is available, the gateway will use an Ethernet connection.

2. 5 Relay function

The bridging relay mode means that the LAN interface of the gateway will use the IP
segment of the upstream router. In this mode, the downlink gateway is in the same network
segment, which is convenient for batch management.
Nonbridging relay mode means that the LAN interface of the gateway creates its subnet. In
this mode, the uplink gateway cannot directly access the downlink gateway, which is not
conducive to batch management.

3. BLE data acquisition & Service access

3.1 BLE data acquisition

After the MG6 Bluetooth gateway is started, the Bluetooth broadcast data will be collected
continuously, and the default data will be sent to the connected server in one second when the
network is available.
Website：www.minew.com Email: [email protected] 28
 SHENZHEN MINEW TECHNOLOGIES CO LTD

Data uploaded by the MG6 Bluetooth gateway comes in three formats (with the firmware
updates, the format may increase, subject to the actual display), MINEW-CONNECT,
JSON-RAW, and JSON-PREPARSED. The gateway defaults to the upload server using the
MINEW-CONNECT format.
The MG6 Bluetooth Gateway supports the offline storage feature, which takes effect when
the function is turned on and a TF card is inserted. The gateway will write data into the storage
media when disconnected and prioritize the upload when the internet connection is restored.
As shown in the figure below, you can choose your favorite data format by modifying the
Data format parameters:

restart operation is not performed (still the current effect).

4.2 Time configuration

The gateway does not have an RTC clock, so it is necessary to synchronize the time of the
NTP server to obtain the accurate time or manually synchronize the time of the host where the
browser is located to the gateway.

4.2.1 Using the NTP server for synchronization

Both the time zone and the NTP server address can be set. In the time configuration column
of "Other" on the web page, you can set the time zone (UTC by default) and NTP server (default
is the ntp server of openwrt). After filling in your own information, click the "Apply" button to
complete the configuration. Effective immediately. As shown below.

The default UTC time zone is 0 time zone. If the timezone is in the east time zone, it can be
set to UTC-time zone number. For example, if it is set to UTC-8, it is the time zone of our east
eighth zone;

Website：www.minew.com Email: [email protected] 44

 SHENZHEN MINEW TECHNOLOGIES CO LTD

If the timezone can be set in the western time zone, it can be set to UTC+time zone number. For
example, if it is set to UTC+8, it is the time zone of the western eighth zone.

Sync interval Indicates the interval for synchronizing time with the server. For example, if it
is set to 60, it means that the time synchronization with the server will be performed
automatically every minute.

Tips: China time zone can also be set to CST-8, more detailed Timezone
Settingshttps://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/uci/system

4.2.2 Set the time manually

Set the gateway system time manually, you can click Apply with host time or click Apply.
Current time Show is the time of the gateway system. As shown in the figure below.
When you click Apply with host time, the gateway will actively obtain the time that the
browser is hosting and synchronize the time to the gateway. Before clicking Apply with host
time, the Timezone parameter must be the same time zone as the time zone of the host where the
browser is located, otherwise the set time is sometimes an error.
When clicking Apply, the gateway is to obtain Time time synchronization to the gateway.

4.3 Automatic management

The automatic management module is divided into Automatic Reboot (automatic restart) and
Timing Reboot (timed restart). As shown below.

Website：www.minew.com Email: [email protected] 46

 SHENZHEN MINEW TECHNOLOGIES CO LTD

4.3.1 Automatic restart

The gateway does not enable the automatic restart function by default. If the gateway is
disconnected from the server for more than a specified time during the stable connection with the
server (the reason for the disconnection may be the server or the gateway network), the gateway
will automatically restart. After the gateway is restarted, if the server has not been connected to
the server, the gateway will not restart again . The automatic restart will only occur during the
process of being disconnected in the middle.

4.3.2 Regular restart

The timing restart function is disabled by default on the gateway. After enabling this
function, the gateway will restart at the specified time (the time zone used by the time is the time
zone in the previous time configuration ).

4.4 Firmware upgrade

Gateways consists of WiFi modules and BLE modules, so gateway upgrades involve two
types of firmware: WiFi firmware and BLE firmware. It is recommended that you upgrade the
BLE firmware and then upgrade the WiFi firmware.
Different firmware versions correspond to different function adjustment and upgrade, which
can be selected on demand.

4.7 Restore the factory settings

There are two ways to restore the factory settings: through the gateway Reset button or
through the web page configuration
Reset by any of the following methods. If a successful reset, the gateway should be restarted,
namely shutdown the light first, and then the blue light is always on, which means that the
factory setting has been successfully restored and the gateway is starting. If the lamp effect does
not change, the recovery is failed and the restart is not performed.
Since the previous configuration will be lost after restoring to factory settings, please
operate with caution.

4.7.1 Reset button

When the gateway is fully started, that is, when the blue light is no longer on, hold the Reset
key of the device through the Reset hole for 5s and release, and the device will resume the
factory setting with lighting effect indication.

4.7.2 Web page configuration

Click the "Factory Reset" button in the "Other" page to restore the factory settings, as

4.8 Rescue brick mode

When the gateway is powered off during the upgrade process, or the wrong firmware is
flashed, the gateway may become bricked. There are two ways to save the brick, one is through
the web page (mini-web server), and the other is serial port burning.

4.8.1 mini-web server

operating steps:

1. Power off the gateway device (or unplug the power cord).
2. Use the network cable to directly connect the gateway network port and the computer. At this
time, the network port is the LAN port. In addition to this case, the network port can only be
used as a WAN port.
3. Use the pin to press and hold the RESET button of the gateway device without releasing it,
then power up the gateway (or plug in the power cord).
4. The gateway will change from the static 6 -color light to the static white light within 6 seconds.
After entering the static white light state, it means that the gateway has started the web server,
and you can release the RESET button at this time .
5 . The uboot firmware does not support dhcp mode, so the computer should set a static ip
address in advance, the parameters are as follows:
ip: 192.168.99.2 , subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 , gateway: 192.168.99.1 .
6. Enter 192.168.99.1 on the computer browser to enter the web interface of the gateway. Upload
the firmware upgrade package of the WiFi module according to the prompt on the webpage, and
click upgrade to complete the rescue of the brick.
7 . The web interface is shown in the figure below. Note that you should update the WiFi module

firmware when the gateway is bricked. Do not update U-Boot without special instructions . Do
not disconnect the power supply during the firmware update process.
7. The web interface is shown in the figure below. Note that when the gateway is brick, you
should update WiFi module firmware. Do not update U-Boot without special instructions, and do
not disconnect the power while updating the firmware.

4.8.2 Serial port burn and record

Serial programming needs to open the gateway shell, connect the serial cable and other
operations. It is more complicated and is not provided for the time being. The gateway using
64MB Flash needs to save the brick in this way. If required, please contact our sales team for
operating instructions.
