Accessing the Gateway

You can access the gateway either using the web interface or by SSH. Use the web interface for general configuration. SSH is for advanced users and development.

The gateway provides a Cockpit web interface for configuration and monitoring on port 80.

The web interface and SSH can be accessed using ethernet network connection. On the ethernet miro Edge Performance is configured to support two independent network configurations:

  • Freely user-assignable IP address (static or DHCP) with the default set to DHCP
  • static, non-changeable IPv4 address 169.254.100.100

Option 1: Access via DHCP Address

If your gateway is configured to obtain an IP address via DHCP:

  1. Connect your device to the same network as the gateway.
  2. Determine the IP address assigned to the gateway by your DHCP server.
  3. Check your router or DHCP server’s client list.
  4. Alternatively, use a network scanning tool (e.g., nmap, arp-scan) to discover the IP.
  5. Once you have the IP address, open a browser and navigate to:
http://<gateway-ip>

Replace <gateway-ip> with the actual IP address, for example:

http://192.168.1.42

Note

This method may require access to your network infrastructure to find the IP, which can be tricky if not documented.

The gateway is also accessible via a static link-local IP address:

  • Link-local IP: 169.254.100.100
  • Port: 80

Steps:

  1. Connect your device directly to the gateway via Ethernet.
  2. Ensure your device has a link-local IP address in the 169.254.x.x range (this is typically automatic).
  3. Open a browser and go to:
http://169.254.100.100
Note

This is the easiest and most reliable method for direct access without relying on DHCP.

Login

Once connected to the gateway, you will see the login page

Cockpit login page

Enter username and password to log in. At first login use default credentials.

SSH Access

To access the gateway by SSH use either the static or the DHCP assigned IP depending on your connection method.

Use an SSH terminal (such as PuTTY) to log in using the default credentials.

Warning

SSH access is for advanced users only. There is a risk of rendering the devices unusable!

Default Password

During production, the password for web interface and SSH access are set to a default. The default credentials are:

User name Password
root mm1234
Important

For security reasons, it is strongly recommended to change the gateway’s default password in Accounts once you are logged in

Troubleshooting

  • Make sure no firewall or security software is blocking your browser or the gateway.
  • If the page doesn’t load, verify network connectivity and ensure your system has a compatible IP address.
  • You might have to manually configure a link-local IP address (e.g. 169.254.100.101, netmask 255.255.0.0) on your network interface.

Important

This interface runs on HTTP (not HTTPS). Ensure access is limited to trusted networks to avoid potential security risks.
