Set Up Mobile Connection (Cont.)

(Cellular Routers Only)

Click “Mobile WAN” under “Status”. At the bottom you
should see “Mobile Network Connection Log”. If the Router
is connected it will have a message underneath saying
“Connection successfully established.” To see the most current
status you will need to refresh the page. If a Connection does
not establish switch to the system log to see where the error
occurs.

Check Mobile Network Connection

(Cellular Routers Only)

Make sure the connection to the Router is the only enabled
network connection and that the Gateway and DNS Server
are set to the address of the Router (default IP address:

192.168.1.1). Note: You will not have to change Gateway
or DNS Server information if the network connection to the
Router is setup as DHCP.

To verify internet connectivity open a Web browser and go to
a known good website or ping a known good Internet IP ad­dress or Web address. You should receive valid responses.
If you cannot access the internet or do not receive valid
responses, contact B&B Technical Support.

The Network Gateway needs to be programmed to
communicate to the Wzzard Edge nodes over the
SmartmeshIP wireless network, and to the application layer
via the MQTT broker. Refer to the IoT Gateway
Settings page, found under customization/user module,
to program both the SmartMesh IP and MQTT settings by
selecting the “IoT Gateway” hyperlink.
