Configure the Mesh Node

The GM02 Mesh Node’s user interface allows you to update the GM02 firmware, view SIM Card information, view and download logs, check unit status, and point the backhaul antenna. To work with the GM02 Mesh Node, we recommend using any of the following web browsers:

• Google Chrome (latest version)
• Mozilla Firefox (latest version)

Log On to the GM02 Mesh Node

To log on to the Mesh Node:

1

Apply power to the Mesh Node. Once the Mesh Node’s 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi interface is operational, the Power and Wi-Fi LEDs will be on.

2

Open the Network and Internet settings on the laptop and click the GM02’s SSID. The SSID of the Mesh Node’s Wi-Fi interface will be “GXCTR0-xxxxxx”, where xxxxxx is the MAC address of one of the Mesh Node’s Ethernet ports. This MAC address is printed on the GM02’s label.

3

Click the SSID to connect to the Mesh Nodes Wi-Fi network and it will prompt you for a password. The default Wi-Fi password at the time this guide was published is “fishAnchorDish17”.

4

Once you are connected, you can access the Mesh Node’s Local Control Interface (LCI). In the browser’s address bar, type “192.168.1.1” and press Enter to open the LCI Login webpage.

NOTE: Because the GM02 LCI uses a self-signed security certificate, a Chrome browser will display a “Your connection is not private” warning message and a Firefox browser will display a “Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead” message. The GM02 LCI is not an actual security risk. In Chrome, click the Advanced button, and then click the Proceed to 192.168.1.1 (unsafe) link. In Firefox, click the Advanced button, and then click the Accept the Risk and Continue button.

When prompted, enter the Username “onyx” and the Password “shinyStoneBox22” and click Login.

NOTE: Your session will expire, and you will be automatically logged out of the system after 30 minutes. There is currently no logout option.

Connect using Wired Ethernet

Logging on via Ethernet can be used for debugging the system if access over Wi-Fi is not working or is not desired. In normal operation, the Ethernet port is reserved for connecting the Mesh Node to the Mesh AP.

To access the Mesh Node using the wired Ethernet port do the following:

1

Connect the laptop to the Mesh Node’s Ethernet 1 port using an Ethernet cable.

2

Enter the Mesh Node’s Ethernet port address “10.0.5.1”. The laptop needs to be on the same “10.0.5” Subnet to communicate with the Mesh Node.
