Ensure the following ports are open for outbound communication in your firewall.
The access controller is: gw.dodgeoptify.com
You will need a computer with a Wi-Fi adapter to configure the gateway. A tablet or mobile phone can also be used.
Google Chrome is the recommended web browser to use.
You will need a Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch or injector to power the gateway and a CAT 5 or CAT 6 ethernet cable.
2 cables are needed for LAN gateway configuration if a PoE switch is not available.
Ensure your network does not use a Virtual Private Network (VPN).
It is best to mount the gateway 3-30 meters (10-100 feet) above the ground to achieve maximum range.
The gateway has the best range out of the front, where the Cassia logo is located.
If a specific sensor has trouble connecting, rotate the gateway to have the front face the troubled sensor.
For outdoor installations, connect a ground cable to the bottom of the gateway to protect it from electrical surges.
Remove the cover from the bottom of the gateway by turning it counter-clockwise, then lift it off the gateway.
On the bottom of the gateway you will find:
Plug in the Power over Ethernet (PoE) Injector's power cable (120V) into a standard outlet.
Plug in the straight end of the ethernet cable (CAT 5 or 6) into the Power over Ethernet (PoE) port of the PoE injector, and plug in the 90-degree end of the ethernet cable into the ethernet port on the bottom of the gateway.
Using the second ethernet cable, connect the LAN port of the PoE injector to your local network
If done correctly, a blue light will light up on the bottom of the gateway. This indicates the gateway is properly connected to receive power.
Reinstall the bottom cover of the gateway by turning the cover clockwise to lock it in place.
Install the four rubber caps to the bottom cover of the gateway. This allows the gateway to achieve an IP65 rating.
Connect the gateway to Wi-Fi through your mobile device or computer.
The Wi-Fi connection will be named cassia-XXXXXX where the last six digits will match the last six digits of the MAC address found on the bottom of the gateway.
The password to the Wi-Fi connection will be the same as the SSID (in the example shown, the password would be: cassia-E2AEB0).
Once your device is connected to the gateway's Wi-Fi connection, use the same device to go to an internet browser.
In the search bar, type 192.168.40.1, then press enter.
When prompted, create a new password. The old password is "admin".
Log into the gateway using "admin" as the username and your new password.
You will see the gateway status page.
Select the "Basic" tab at the top.
Set the following settings:
Scroll down to the "Wired" section and set the following parameters.
For security reasons, we recommend to change the gateway Wi-Fi Hotspot password. Do so by changing the password under the "Wi-Fi" section (below the "Wired Options" section).
Scroll down and select "apply".
The setup is complete, and the "Save successfully" message should appear.
If you are connected to the same network your gateway has been configured to, return to the "Status" tab.
Check the "AC Online Time" field is populated.
Refresh the page to check the "AC Online Time" increases.
This confirms the gateway is communicating with the Access Controller (AC).
If you have additional questions, you can contact Dodge Application Engineering for support.

You will see the gateway status page.
Select the "Basic" tab at the top.
Set the following settings:
Router Mode: AC Managed Router
Tx Power: 20
Statistics Report Interval: 30 Seconds
AC Server Address: gw.dodgeoptify.com
AC-Router Protocol Priority: MQTT
Connection Priority: Wi-Fi
Enable OAuth2 Token For Local API: Off
Remote Assistance: On
Scroll down to the "Wi-Fi" section and set the following parameters.
Scroll down and select "apply".
The setup is complete, and the "Save successfully" message should appear.
Contact your local IT department to get the private IP address for your gateway.
The MAC address needed for this search is located on the bottom of the gateway.
On your current device using the same Wi-Fi network as your gateway, go to an internet browser.
In the search bar, type the gateway's private IP address. Press enter.
Log into the gateway using "admin" as the username and your password (previously created in step 10).
You will be directed to the "Status" page.
Check the "AC Online Time" field is populated.
Refresh the page to check the "AC Online Time" increases.
This confirms that the gateway is communicating with the Access Controller (AC).

Confirm that the gateway is powered on and generating a WiFi hotspot
Connect to the Wi-Fi hotspot and sign onto the gateway using admin as the username and your custom password
Navigate to the gateway Other page
Scroll down until you find the Debug Tools section
Under Debug Tools, select Ping, enter www.DodgeIndustrial.com, and 5 seconds.
Click Start.
If the ping is successful, you will see a message saying "0% packet loss"
If the ping is unsuccessful, then the gateway does not have internet access.
Confirm that the gateway is powered on and generating a WiFi hotspot
Connect to the Wi-Fi hotspot and sign onto the gateway using admin as the username and your custom password
Navigate to the gateway Other page
Scroll down until you find the Debug Tools section
Under Debug Tools, select NetCat, enter gw.dodgeoptify.com for the address, select TCP as the protocol, and use 2 for the timeout.
For each of the following ports, enter the port number for Port, and then click start and wait. The port is open if you see the word Open in the command prompt below
8883
9999
80
443
If a scan does not result in Open, the port in the firewall is not open for the gateway and will need to be opened for outbound communication
Before finalizing the placement of a gateway, it can be helpful to use it as a scanning tool to find each of the Bluetooth devices in range of the gateway. This can ensure that all of your sensors are able to be read consistently.
Connect to the gateway Wi-Fi hotspot. By default the password is the same as the Wi-Fi name.
Open a Chrome web browser and enter 192.168.40.1 into the search bar to connect to the gateway.
Sign into the gateway with admin as the username and your custom password. If the gateway asks to use an old password to set a new one, the old password is also admin.
On the gateway Basic page, set the gateway Connection Priority to Standalone and click apply. This will reset the gateway. Reconnect in the same way as before
Once reconnected, go to the gateway Other tab and find the Gateway Web Security section.
Type an * into the Allow Origin field and click apply.
On a new tab, navigate to bluetooth.tech/debugger/
At the top of the page, enter the gateway MAC address and IP, which be 192.168.40.1
Select the Start Scan slider to start scanning for Bluetooth devices
A list of every Bluetooth device that the gateway can see will appear. Identify sensors with a MAC address that starts with 50:31:AD
RSSI is the signal strength between the sensor and the gateway. 65 or less is considered a strong signal. Between 65 and 75 is considered weak, and over 75 will likely not function properly.
If the scanning tool is showing no devices, make sure you are still connected to the gateway Wi-Fi hotspot, and use the following link to troubleshoot the debugger

Using the two hose clamps, attach the gateway mounting bracket to the pole.
Once attached, slide the gateway on to the mounting bracket from above until it clicks into place.
Using the four wall mounting points, attach the gateway bracket to the wall.
Once attached to the wall, slide the gateway on to the mounting bracket from above.
