Info

In this example, we use FileZilla to configure the device and Modbus doctor to read modbus data from µWiotys

1. Connect your gateway

First, install your gateway with proper accessories according to your model and connect it to your local network.

You should be able to ping the gateway (default address is 192.168.1.100). If this is not possible, please make sure that the necessary ports are open. (Those are listed in Description)

...

2. Configure your devices

First, you need to create the configuration file (named devices_update.json) that contain necessary informations : Reference, DevEUI, AppKey, Modbus Slave address,...

You can check out our Online support interface to help you create your configuration file or FTP configuration for expert details.

Once your configuration is ready make sure to rename it devices_update.json.

...

3. Push device configuration with FileZilla 3.51.0

It is now time to connect to your gateway using a FTP client (like, for instance, FileZilla)

  1. Open Site manager

  2. Create a new site

  3. Configure host with the gateway's IP

  4. Port is 2222

  5. Use SFTP

  6. Fill User and Password

  7. You now should be able to connect to the gateway

...

Note

Warning, the The answer time of µWiotys' FTP can be very long, especially on fixed IP. If necessary, you should extend FileZilla timeout to 60 seconds.

...

You need to reboot to process the device update.

See FTP configuration for more details.
