Before you start

Make sure that the IP addresses of the gateways will be consistent, either by IT binding the mac address to a static IP (recommended) or by assigning static IP

  • The Access point WebUI from 5. will list all gateways on the network with current settings as long as multicast is enabled in the network

  • For Wireless Zigbee, log in to the web ui of the gateway to set IP if needed

  • For Ethernet2Dali, see E2D commissioning

  • For DALI Complete you need to use an external tool, as the DALI gateway does not provide any WebUI

Glamox Connect enabling

  1. Connect the gateways to power and ethernet.

    • If DALI gateway, also connect DALI line(s)

  2. Connect the access point

...

  1. (LMS CONNECT RevPi Core 3 8 GB) to 24 V power and ethernet.

  2. Make sure the access point has access to the network where the gateways are connected.

Info

Only the access point speaks to the Glamox Connect cloud. The access point communicates with all gateways and

...

administers the two-way communication between the gateways and the cloud.

...

If needed, change the IP’s of the gateways to preferred IP address (See note!)

...

If Glamox Wireless Zigbee the gateway needs to be set up with an access code to connect access point to the gateway

  1. Follow gateway manual to go to admin page, usually 10.0.28.190

  2. Make sure to be on same local network to reach the gateway

  3. Go to Security tab and activate “Access code”

  4. Use access code 1337 (default for the gateway integration) or the access code part of the QR code on back of gateway.

  5. Press “Activate” to allow for new connections for 5 minutes. The gateway integration needs to start within these 5 minutes. If successful you will see the access point connected to the gateway.

...

The IP’s and access code are given to the Glamox Connect installer

  1. NOTE: In the future this will be available in the admin interface for the customer

...

Note

If your building doesn’t use a dynamic adress IP go to link: How to change DHCP to a static IP on Access Point

4. Check the serial number of the access point (5 digits).

...

5. Go to URL http://GlamoxConnectCore<serial>.local

Example: http://GlamoxConnectCore30288.local- if the serial is 30288

Note

If your access point can’t find the gateways the main issue is probably that they are not on the same network. You can try to connect to the network yourself and search for devices - see “Alternatively”.

Alternatively - find a device from the mac address:

  • Make sure you are connected to the same network as the device.

  • Then open a terminal (for example Command Prompt on Windows).

  • Type in “arp -a” and you will get a list of devices with their IP and mac address (physical address).

  • Find the IP address (internet address) related to

...

  • the MAC address of your access point.

...

  • Enter the IP address in the browser bar.

6. Set the IP address of the RevPi in the IP field. There you can set the access point IP, network mask, gateway and name servers.

...

7. Click “Save!”. Configuration is done.

Info

The IP settings of the Access point is of no importance to Glamox Connect. Only the gateway IP’s are important in the setup.

Info

For Glamox technicians to reach the device, it is set up with ZeroTier. This requires UDP 9993 to be open out of the network. If the network is set up with DHCP, it will automatically connect, and the technicians can reach the device. As a fallback, a USB 4G modem can be connected to bypass any firewalls while setting up the system.

8. Login to Glamox Connect using your existing user, or by creating a new User registration.

9. Create a new site a adopt the access point to your site Setting up a new site.

DALI complete gateway

To change the IP on the DALI gateway, use a free tool like Lantronix (https://www.lantronix.com/products/deviceinstaller/). Make sure you are connected to the same network and search for devices.

...

The gateway has pullout panels on top and bottom of the front. Here you can find detailed information about the gateway like the mac address.

Wireless Zigbee gateway

Follow gateway manual to go to admin page, usually 10.0.28.190.
You can change the network settings of the gateway under “Network settings”.

If you can’t find the IP of the gateway, search for the gateways mac address on the network.
You can find the mac address of the gateway on the back of the gateway.

Access point

The access point is a linux computer, in the form of a Kunbus RevPi Core 3+. This is a industry grade Raspberry Pi 3+ compute module, running a customized linux distribution.

The device is set up to receive IP via DHCP. To set up static IP, contact Glamox technicians.

It is set up with DHCP, and fallback on static IP. If network is no set up with DHCP, you can reach it by using IPv6 and mDNS. Connect to the same network with your device and point your browser to glamoxconnect.local. Here you can set the device static IP.

As a fallback, a USB 4G modem can be connected to bypass any firewalls while setting up the system.The Zigbee gateway has a WebUI for easy setup. This WebUI can be reached at http://ubisys-g1-<serial>.local, replacing <serial> with the serial from your gateway. (Ex: ubisys-g1-2507.local).
Alternatively you can open the gateways IP address, default http://192.168.0.211.
You can change the network settings of the gateway under “Network settings”.
