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

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

Gateway connected directly to your computer

Connect the gateway

Connect the gateway to your computer using an ethernet cable

Configure your IP address

Change your computer's IP address to a static address in the same network as the gateway.

In Windows 10 right-click on Network in explorer and select properties

Network Properties

In Network and Sharing Center select Change adapter settings

Change Adapter Settings

In Network Connections select and right-click your Local Area Connection and select Properties

Adapter Properties

In Local Area Connection Properties select Internet Protocol Version 4 and click the Properties button.

IPv4 Settings

In Internet Protocol Version 4 Properties configure the IP address to set:

  • IP address 169.254.100.101
  • Subnet mask to 255.255.255.0
  • Default gateway to 169.254.100.100
  • DNS configuration can be left blank

IPv4 Settings

Click Ok and close all open dialogs. Your computer's network is now connected to the miro Edge gateway.

Important

Don't forget to change back your network configuration when you have finished configuring the gateway!

Gateway connected to your local network

To access the web interface of a gateway connected to your local network, your network needs to have a DHCP server, and you have to find out your gateway's dynamic IP assigned by the DHCP server.

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 miromac address

Replace the mac address part with the last 6 digits of the gateway MAC address. All characters should be in lower case and without any separator (e.g. ':'). The MAC address can be found on the label on the back of the housing. E.g., if your gateway's mac address is 7D:B5:B8:55:F6:A5, your password would be miro55f6a5.

Important

For security reasons, it is strongly recommended to change the router’s default password under System->Administration

Accessing the web interface

To access the web interface, use either the static or the DHCP assigned IP depending on your connection method.

Login

To log in access the web frontend of the gateway using your browser. The web frontend is reachable on http://169.254.100.100 in case of direct connection.

At your first login, use default credentials.

SSH Access

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

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

Warning

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