2.2 Recommended Location
Height:
-Recommended height for the Gateway is 3-30 meters from ground level. Lower
levels are also acceptable but they might have weaker Bluetooth signal levels due
to obstacles.
Orientation:
-Gateway has the best reception to the direction where the Cassia logo is shown
on its side. If the Gateway has troubles connecting to a specific Smart Sensor, it is
recommended to rotate the Gateway to point directly to 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

-IP Allocation: DHCP or Static (in case the IP allocation is given)
Press Apply at the bottom of the screen.
NOTE! Once the Apply button is pressed the Gateway WIFI adapter stops sharing the WIFI
hotspot and changes the connection to configured WIFI network. In case the DHCP is
used, the Gateway has now a new IP address. This IP address is needed to reconnect to
the Gateway e.g. to check the Status Page or scan the devices within the Gateway’s range.
Local IT department can find out the Gateway’s IP address by accessing the WIFI router
device list or by performing the network scan for IP addresses. In case a static IP is used,
the address is known.
Connect your computer, tablet or mobile phone to the same WIFI network as the Gateway
is connected. Open a web browser and type the new IP address to the address field and
press enter. Access to Gateway configuration pages is established again.
NOTE! If there was an error in SSID, password or IP address configurations, you cannot
access the Gateway anymore. In this case the Gateway isn’t shown in router device list or
in network scans. Press the reset button at the bottom of the Gateway for 10 seconds to
reset the Gateway to factory default values.

3Scanning Bluetooth Devices
Correct Gateway placement can be checked by scanning the Bluetooth devices within the
Gateway’s range. Gateway location or orientation needs to be changed if all desired Smart
Sensors are not visible for the Gateway or if the Smart Sensor is showing weak signal level.
To enable the scanning, the router mode needs to be changed. This is done in the Basic
Page. Change the mode from “AC Managed Router” to “Standalone Router”. Gateway will
automatically reboot and is operational again within 30 to 60 seconds.
In computer, tablet or mobile phone, open the following web page while having an internet
access:

Debug Tool now starts to list all Bluetooth devices within its range. For all scanned devices
the tool is showing the MAC address and RSSI value. Sometimes the name is not available,
but it is listed if known.
RSSI value can be roughly categorized to the following groups:
-RSSI value between 0 and -70 is OK
-RSSI value between -70 and -80 is weak, sensor can be read time to time
-RSSI value -80 or less is poor, most probably the sensor cannot be read
If the desired Smart Sensors are showing RSSI values of -70 or less, it is recommended to
adjust the Gateway’s location or orientation.
NOTE! Remember to change the router mode to AC Managed Router mode. If the mode is
not changed the Gateway is not establishing a connection to AC server and the data is not
read form the Smart Sensors.
