1 General
The ABB Ability™ Smart Sensor gateway is used to upload the Smart Sensor data
automatically to the Smart Sensor portal. The gateway needs to be configured for Internet
access before it can start reading the Smart Sensors. Following Internet connections are
supported:
- LAN/Ethernet network together with PoE injector.
- 2.4GHz WIFI network.
- 3G/4G Mobile network with specific USB dongle.
The sales package includes:
- X1000 Bluetooth router, wall and pole mounting kits and a quick guide.

2 Installation
2.1 Prerequisites for installation
Internet connection:
- Gateway does not operate in networks with VPN (Virtual Private Network).
- In case there is a firewall used, following ports need to be opened:
Type Port M/O
Communication
Partner for
Gateway
Direction Description
UDP 5246,
5247 Mandatory Access Controller
(AC) OUT Default CAPWAP communication
between AC and router
UDP 6246,
6247 Optional Access Controller
(AC) OUT Backup CAPWAP communication
between AC and router
TCP 8883 Optional Access Controller
(AC) OUT MQTT communication between
AC and router
TCP 1883 Optional Local MQTT broker OUT MQTT bypass function
TCP/HTTP 80 Mandatory Access Controller
(AC) OUT Container/APP download from
AC
TCP/HTTPS 443 Mandatory Smart Sensor
Platform OUT
Communication with Smart
Sensor Platform
Container/APP download from
AC
TCP 9999 Mandatory Access Controller
(AC) OUT Remote SSH to container
UDP 53 Mandatory DNS server OUT DNS lookup for AC address
The above table is considered from gateway perspective, thus all communication with
Direction Out is from the gateway to the communication partner. All communication with
Direction In is from the communication partner towards the gateway. All communication
with In-out is bidirectional.
AC – Access Controller
Global: abb.cassia.pro
China: gw.smartsensor.abb.com.cn
Smart Sensor Platform
Global: smartsensor.abb.com
China: smartsensor.abb.com.cn
- Mobile network needs to have adequate signal strength. In most demanding
locations, an extension USB cable or external antenna might be needed for USB
modem/dongle.

Power supply:
- In case PoE network is not available, a PoE injector (power supply) is needed.
- PoE is 802.3af/at compliant.
Ethernet cable:
- 1 Ethernet cable is needed when PoE, WIFI or mobile network is used.
- 2 Ethernet cables when LAN/Ethernet network is used.
Computer:
- Computer with WIFI adapter is needed for gateway configuration. Tablet
computer or mobile phone can also be used.
- Google Chrome web browser is recommended to be used.
USB Cellular Modem / Dongle
- Gateway has built in drivers for several USB dongles. For the list of supported
dongles please check the section 2.7 USB mobile dongle connection.
- SIM card with Internet data plan.
- Gateway also supports the use of any USB powered WIFI modems.
Mounting:
- Flat head screwdriver for pole mounting.
- Phillips head screwdriver and a drill (if needed) for wall mounting.
- Mounting is not mandatory, but it is recommended to secure the gateway
somehow to its intended place.
2.2 Recommended location
Height:
- Recommended height for the gateway is 3-30 meters from ground level. Lower
levels are also acceptable, but gateway Bluetooth range might be shorter due to
obstacles.
Orientation:
- The Gateway has the best reception in the direction where the Cassia logo is
shown on its side. If the gateway has trouble connecting to a specific Smart
Sensor, it is recommended to rotate the gateway to point in that direction.

2.3 Gateway configuration
When the gateway is powered on, the blue LED at the bottom of the gateway turns ON.
After bootup, the gateway will turn on the configuration WIFI hotspot. The bootup takes
about 30-60 seconds.
Configuration WIFI hotspot has SSID “cassia-XXXXXX”, where XXXXXX is the last 6 digits
of the gateway’s MAC address. MAC address can be found from the bottom of the
gateway. Password for this WIFI hotspot is the same as the SSID.
Connect to this WIFI hotspot with the device used for configuration (computer, phone or
tablet) and open the web browser. Type 192.168.40.1 to the web browser’s address field
and press enter. Cassia configuration page will open. During the first login the default
password needs to be changed. Default credentials are:
- Login: admin
- Password: admin
Figure 2 Cassia login page
It is recommended to replace the default credentials.
Once logged in, the Status Page is shown. This page shows current operation mode and
connection status of the gateway. AC Online Time shows how long the gateway has been
connected to the AC (Access Controller) server. If no time is shown, it means that the
gateway does not have a connection to the AC server. AC server connection is needed for
the Smart Sensor data transfer.
