Data Loggers
If I am connecting the Gateway to my local network, are there ports that need to be open for outside communication?
Yes. Data traffic for the Gateway must be enabled through SSH port: TCP 22.
How do I set up the GTecLink nodes? What do I need?
You will need an Android phone or tablet, an OTG (On The Go) cable, the GTecLink app (which can be downloaded from the Google Play Store or via this link) and at least one 3.6V C-size lithium battery.
You may need to change the security settings of your Android device to allow third party apps to be installed. This allows you to install apps directly from the device memory. You will also need an OTG cable to connect from your device to the node. Depending on your Android device, you will either need a MicroUSB to MiniUSB cable (DGSI p/n 52616704) or a USB-C to MiniUSB cable (DGSI p/n 52616705).
Once the app is installed on your device, connecting the device to the node should automatically open the app. From there, go to the Setup Wizard and it will walk you through setting up the node. Please note that if you are using a Gateway, it should be installed and operational prior to setting up the nodes so that a proper radio signal test can be performed between the node and the Gateway.
