Installation

Prerequisites for installation
Internet connection:
The mobile network needs to have adequate signal strength.
AC – Access Controller

Smart Sensor Platform

Power supply:
110/115 vac grounded outlet to accept P0E injector power cord.
SIM card:
ATT or Verizon Micro-SIM card (see next page for supported SIM cards)
Computer:

  • A computer with a WIFI adapter is needed for gateway configuration. A tablet computer or mobile phone can also be used.
  • Google Chrome web browser is recommended to be used.

Mounting:

  • Flathead screwdriver for pole mounting.
  • Phillips head screwdriver and a drill (if needed) for wall mounting.
  • Mounting is not mandatory, but it is recommended to secure the gateway somehow to its intended place.

Recommended location

Height:
The recommended height for the gateway is 10-98 feet from ground level. Lower levels are also acceptable, but the gateway Bluetooth range might be shorter due to obstacles.
Orientation:
The gateway has the best reception in the direction where the Cassia logo is shown on its side. If the gateway has trouble connecting to a specific Smart Sensor, it is recommended to rotate the gateway to point in that direction.

Obtaining the correct SIM card

The MultiTech Modem uses a Micro-SIM-sized sim card, slightly larger than a nano sim card.

SIM card installation
The sim card is correctly installed when:

  • Inserted, it depresses an internal spring until it clicks into place.
  • The angled cut of the sim card is facing the right side of the modem.
  • It is facing toward the slot into which it is to be inserted.
  • The “logo” side (non-circuit side) of the SIM card is also facing outward toward the operator, the same as the label side of the modem.

Gateway configuration
When the gateway is powered on, the blue LED at the bottom of the gateway turns ON. After bootup, the gateway will turn on the configuration WIFI hotspot. The bootup takes about 30-60 seconds.
Configuration WIFI hotspot has SSID “cassia-XXXXXX”, where XXXXXX is the last 6 digits of the gateway’s MAC address. MAC address can be found at the bottom of the gateway. The password for this WIFI hotspot is the same as the SSID.
Connect to this WIFI hotspot with the device used for configuration (computer, phone, or tablet) and open the web browser. Type 192.168.40.1 to the web browser’s address field and press enter. Cassia configuration page will open. During the first login, the default password needs to be changed. Default
credentials are:

  • Login: admin
  • Password: admin
