Introduction
This guide explains how to set up your new mQHub gateway.
Note: Ensure that the AC outlet that powers the gateway cannot be inadvertently switched off.
Prerequisites
Before performing the steps in this guide, you must download the Postman application and get the
mQHub .json file:
1. Go to https://www.getpostman.com/
2. Download the appropriate Postman client for your machine (PC, Mac, or Linux)
3. Open the Postman client.

7. Drag the file into the Postman Drop files here box.
Provisioning the Gateway in mQCentral
mQCentral is the portal you will use to view data and verify the operation of your gateways and sensors.
Your gateway may have been set up in mQCentral before it was shipped to you. If that is the case, skip to
the Activating the Gateway section in this document.
To provision the gateway in mQCentral, perform the following steps:
1. Navigate to mQCentral (https://mqcentral.machineq.net/) and log in with your credentials. If you do
not have credentials, please reach out to our customer support by phone (855-671-5672) or email
(machineQ_Support@comcast.com).
2. Click the Gateways side tab.
5
3. On the Gateways screen, click Add a Gateway.
4. Enter the appropriate information in the pop-up box to define your gateway, and then click Submit.

Activating the Gateway
To set up the gateway, perform the following steps:
1. Plug it in to a power source.
It is very important that you plug the device into a wall outlet so it is oriented vertically. Do not
plug it into a power strip, which would orient it horizontally.
The signal strength will be reduced if it is oriented horizontally.
Ensure that the AC outlet that powers the gateway cannot be inadvertently switched off.
2. Look at your available Wi-Fi networks—you will see MQH followed by 8 digits.
3. Connect to this network with your computer as you normally would with your business or home or
business Wi-Fi network. Your mQHub will now begin to blink amber (it will blink white while it is
booting up).
4. Open the Postman application if it isn’t already open and expand mqapi.
8
5. Click GET /api/wifi/accesspoint and click Send to scan for a network to connect your mQHub to. If
you already know which one you want to use, you can skip to the next step.
Postman will return a list of all available access points with details about them so you can choose
one. Write down the SSID of the network you want to use (this will be one of your standard home or
business networks).
6. Click POST /api/wifi/network and click the Body tab. Enter the following text, but change the value
for “SSID” to your home or business Wi-Fi network’s ID and “wifikey” to the corresponding
passcode. Make sure to enter the values between quotation marks.
{ “ssid”:”MyBusinessNetwork”, “wifikey”:”MyBusinessNetworkPassword” }
7. Click Send.
8. Reboot the mQHub by unplugging it, waiting 30 seconds and plugging it back in.
9
You can also reboot the gateway from Postman by clicking POST /api/device/reboot, and then
clicking Send. You should receive a status of 200.
The gateway is now set up. It will display a white LED light when it is connected to the Internet.
10
Checking the Gateway’s Status
After your gateway is set up, you can see its status in mQCentral.
1. Log in to mQCentral and click Gateways.
2. The Connection State field will contain CNX if the gateway is connected and receiving data.
Additional Information
There is a WPS button located on the side of the gateway if you choose to use WPS to connect the
gateway to your Wi-Fi router.
You can reset the Wi-Fi network by holding the reset button in for three seconds using a paperclip or
small instrument. The reset button will put it back the gateway back into access point mode which will
then allow you to reconfigure your gateway Wi-Fi network using the above instructions.
If you have any questions, contact Support.
