Compulab IOT-GATE-IMX8PLUS 2031
Description
Compulab IOT-GATE-IMX8PLUS 2031 is a gateway host. To work as a gateway for the Meshtech BLE network it needs to be paired with a USB BLE adapter, for example a Raytac MDBT50Q-RX 0040.
This hardware is sourced from Compulab. See Compulab IOT-GATE-IMX8PLUS for hardware details.
Configuration and monitoring of the gateway is available through Meshtech Device Management Portal.
- Firmware Model Number: 0x2031
- Downlinks: Up to 18
Normal Operation Procedure
Start by inserting a Raytac MDBT50Q-RX 0040 into the USB port. Use the USB port on the back, furthest toward the edge:
Make sure Raytac MDBT50Q-RX 0040 is not already configured. If you are unsure, you can always perform a factory reset of Raytac MDBT50Q-RX 0040 first. Apply power (PoE support in ETH2) by PoE or 12V power plug. Device need to get IP/network settings by DHCP on the ethernet port. If properly configured and able to reach the internet (MQTT with TLS port 8883, and DNS query) it will provision itself towards iot.meshtech.no. There you can log in, claim, activate and configure it. Raytac MDBT50Q-RX 0040 BLE MAC address will be used as gateway's ID. Use gateway ID or Compulab IOT-GATE-IMX8PLUS serial number for claiming.
LED Indication
There are two LEDs on the front side of the device; LED 1 and LED 2.
| Name | Pattern | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| LED 2 | Blink red two times at the end of every second | Device is installing upgrade. Avoid cutting power while it is blinking if possible. | Added in version 7.1.0 |
Properties
Note
Scan Window range is 5 - 95 %. It is highly recommended to not increase scan-window above 24 % (default). Increases beyond 24 % can negatively affect throughput.
Note
After performing factory-reset (by writing 0x8301 - Factory Reset command property) it is necessary to "Clear token" in Device Management before gateway can provision itself if you use same USB BLE adapter. You will also need to activate and send required configuration (typically backend.json) to use it again.
Note
Performing factory reset of a paired Raytac MDBT50Q-RX 0040 (by pressing button while applying power, then additional button press for 5+sec) will also cause host to factory reset.
