The gateway can act as WLAN access point i.e. clients can connect to the WLAN the gateway provides (AP-WLAN) in which the gateway itself is a station and can then access and configure the gateway.
By default the AP-WLAN is disabled, you can permanently enable / disable the AP-WLAN using the reset button.
Even if the AP-WLAN is permanently disabled the gateway will always turn on the AP-WLAN after (re-) boot for 6 minutes; after that the AP-WLAN is then switched to the permanently set mode. Even if the AP-WLAN is permanently disabled, the gateway will turn on the AP-WLAN if it loses network connection (i.e. if there is no network connection detected on the WAN Ethernet port and there is no connection via WLAN) for more than 1 hour. Once the gateway detects a network connection again, AP-WLAN is switched to the permanently set mode.
The SSID of the AP-WLAN conforms to the regex pattern HsM-Gw-LAN-[0-9a-f]{6} where the last 6 letters are the last 6 digits of the MAC address the gateway uses for all its network interfaces (this address is also part of the device's QR-code). The password to connect to the AP-WLAN is a unique random string for each device. The gateway runs a DHCP Service on the AP-WLAN that issues IP addresses from the 192.168.2.0/255 subnet. The gateway itself is assigned the 192.168.2.1 IP address.
Note: All these settings and configurations are the defaults set at the time of production of the device and may be changed by the gateway operator. However, you can always reset the gateway to factory settings to return to these defaults. |
Hagleitner 360 App uses the AP-WLAN to connect to the gateway during configuration. To make this as easy as possible, the gateway's AP-WLAN SSID, the WLAN password and the root password are stored in the Digital Twin Service. The AP-WLAN SSID and the WLAN password are also shipped as a special QR-Code together with the device.
