Configure backhaul interfaces of a gateway on Wanesy Management Cockpit

Wanesy Management Cockpit (online) API Web services documentation (online)

To configure the backhaul interfaces of a gateway, you need to go to the Gateway overview page and select Backhaul from the CONFIGURATION menu.

This menu redirects to a new dedicated page Gateway backhaul configuration, including two parts:

• The backhaul configuration of the gateway (current or expected one)
• The informations related to the last configuration command sent to the gateway (if any)

The gateway reports its backhaul configuration to the Wanesy Management Cockpit in the following cases:

• When the configuration is locally modified, manually or through the Web interface
• When a configuration requested by the Wanesy Management Cockpit has been applied

The date and the content of the last backhaul configuration received from the gateway are displayed in the header of the block.

Once received from the gateway, the backhaul configuration is displayed in the different tabs: GENERAL, ETHERNET, WIFI and/or CELLULAR.

You have the possibility to:

• Change the priority between the backhaul interfaces by dragging and dropping blocks
• Disable a backhaul (WiFi or Cellular), except the Ethernet one which is always enabled by default

The Network mode can be configured in:

• DHCP (default)
• Static IP

In case of Static IP, the following parameters can be configured:

• IP address (mandatory)
• Netmask (mandatory)
• Gateway (mandatory)
• DNS server 1 (mandatory)
• DNS server 2

You have the possibility to add several Access Points in the list, with the following parameters for each one:

• SSID (mandatory)
• Passphrase (mandatory)

When an Access Point has already been configured, it is possible to update its passphrase or remove it from the list.

The following parameters are configurable:

• PIN code
• Default APN

The following parameters are associated to the Default APN:

• Username & Password
• Authentication method: CHAP (default), PAP
• Protocol: IPv4 (default), IPv6, IPv4 + IPv6

You also have the possibility to add several APNs in the list, with the following parameters for each one:

• APN (mandatory)
• MCC & MNC (mandatory)
• Username & Password
• Authentication method: CHAP (default), PAP
• Protocol: IPv4 (default), IPv6, IPv4 + IPv6

When an APN has already been configured, it is possible to update it or remove it from the list.

After clicking on SEND CONFIGURATION button, you will be asked to confirm in a popup.

Once triggered, the backhaul configuration command will be sent to the gateway when the next telemetry message is received (message expected every hour).

When a backhaul configuration command is pending (waiting to be sent to the gateway):

• The backhaul configuration displayed in the different tabs is the expected one
• An orange dot next to the Backhaul entry in the CONFIGURATION menu
• The total number of pending actions (including configuration and software update) in the CONFIGURATION menu
• A status badge with the total number of pending actions (including configuration and software update) in gateway list (with filtering option)

Depending on its progress, the backhaul configuration command goes through different possible statuses:

• Created: the command has been created
• Pending: the command is ready to be sent to the gateway
• Sent: the command has been sent to the gateway
• Cancel request: the cancellation of the command has been requested
• Cancelled: the command has been cancelled

To cancel the backhaul configuration command, you need to click on the CANCEL CONFIGURATION button present in the Last configuration sent block.

The following informations related to the last backhaul configuration command sent to the gateway are displayed in the Last configuration sent block:

• The creation date of the command
• The application date of the command (corresponding to the date when it was sent to the gateway, in response to the receipt of a telemetry message)
• The content of the command sent (displayed in a popup when clocking on the eye link)
• The status of the command
