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

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

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 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

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.

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.

Choose the gateway you want to change on the left side menu and press “Assign IP”. Follow the instructions to configure the IP settings

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

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”.

Ethernet2DALI

Tested 4G modems

  • Huawei E3531

Note: USB 4G modems that acts as a network interface, without PIN code, can work. Try on your own machine to verify no drivers are needed, and the dongle acts as a normal network interface (no special software required)
