Getting Started

Congratulations on selecting Ceres for your precision

agriculture. This manual will help you get your WiFi

Gateway installed and running in less than 5 minutes.

Overview

The WiFi Gateway receives transmissions

from your Ceres long-range wireless sensors

and controllers and forwards them to the

internet where your data is securely stored

and can be accessed any time using your

smart-phone or computer.

Package Contents

Your Gateway package contains:

• Ceres WiFi Gateway

• Ceres long range antenna

• AC Mains to USB power adapter

• USB A to mini-B power cable

8 1

Location/Mounting

The gateway can be wall mounted or placed on any flat surface. Pick a

location near an AC outlet and your WiFi Access Point/Router.

For wall mounting, use two 1/8” (#5) screws. If mounting to drywall,

use appropriate drywall anchors spaced 4.65” apart.

Once the location is chosen and the gateway is mounted, carefully thread

the provided antenna onto the gateway antenna connector until it is

finger tight. Do not overtighten.

Pro Tips:

* Mount indoors away from wet locations

* The antenna should be vertical

* Don’t put the antenna near metal objects

* Locate the gateway where it has an unobstructed view of your fields

Installation is as easy as 1,2,3

1. Plug the AC power adapter into the wall and connect it to your

gateway using the USB A to mini-B cable. The blue light on the

gateway will start blinking.

2. Press and hold the WPS button on your WiFi Access

Point/Router for a few seconds to enable connecting a new

device to your network (for the exact process, consult your

Access Point manual). Typically, a light on your Access Point

will start blinking.

3. Press the WIFI button on your gateway. After 10-60 seconds,

the blue light should stop blinking and stay on steadily to show

that the gateway is connected to the internet.

That’s all there is to it, you’re done!

Sensors Tab

The sensors tab

shows the most

recent readings

from each remote

sensor.

Press the refresh

button to update the

display.

System Tab

The system tab shows

the status of the

gateway and allows you

to:

• change the

gateway name

• set the time

zone

• enable the

receive filter

for areas with

radio

interference

2 7

WiFi Tab

The WiFi tab shows the

WiFi network your

gateway is connected to

and the WiFi HotSpot the

gateway creates.

You can disconnect from

the WiFi network using

the Forget button. If you

do this and are managing

your Gateway via WiFi,

the connection will end

and you must use WPS or

the Gateway HotSpot to

configure a new WiFi

connection.

Devices Tab

The Devices tab

shows the sensors

and controllers

paired with your

gateway.

You can add (pair) a

new device by

pressing the blue

“add sensor” button.

This has the same

effect as pressing

the yellow PAIR

button on the

gateway.

You can un

pair (delete) a device by pressing its red Unpair (X) button.

Custom Installation

The standard installation process may not be appropriate if:

• Your access point does not support WPS push-button connect

• You want to customize your gateway configuration

In these cases, you can quickly configure the gateway using your laptop

or smart-phone:

1. Plug the AC-to-USB power adapter into the wall and connect it

to your gateway using the USB A to mini-B cable. The blue light

on the gateway will start blinking.

2. On your laptop or phone, connect to the WiFi network named

CeresGateway_XXYYZZ.

3. When asked for the PSK (WPA2 password), enter the 10-digit

serial number found on the bottom of your gateway.

4. Depending on your operating system, you may see a warning

that the connection does not provide internet access; this is

normal, you should accept this and continue.

NOTE: Do not configure your phone or laptop to always connect

automatically to your Ceres gateway since it does not provide

internet access.

5. Start your favorite web browser and go to http://ceres.com

Under the WiFi tab, enter the SSID and secret key (PSK) for your

access point then press the Connect button.

In a few seconds, your gateway will connect to your wireless network

and display its assigned IP address and signal strength. The blue light

will stay steadily on to show that the gateway is connected to the

internet.

Remote Locations

Where WiFi networking is not available, the gateway can be used with a

Cellular Hotspot. Hotspots provide WiFi internet access via the cellular

telephone network. Ask your cellular carrier about supported hotspots.

Due to the low power consumption of the Ceres WiFi Gateway and many

hotspots, these devices can even be solar powered for locations where

AC power is not available. Ask your Ceres dealer for details about Ceres

weatherproof enclosures and solar power options.

Adding Sensors and Controllers

When deploying a new Ceres device such as a soil sensor, rain gauge, or

irrigation controller, the device should first be paired with your gateway:

1. Press the yellow PAIR button on your gateway to enter pairing

mode; the yellow/orange LED will start blinking.

2. Press the PAIR button on the Ceres sensor or controller (you

may need to do this twice). The sensor and gateway will

exchange pairing information and the yellow/orange LED on

your sensor will blink several times to show the connection was

successful.

3. Deploy the sensor or controller in the field. Use the CeresDroid

app to record the GPS location of the device and give it an easy-

to-remember name.

Congratulations, you’re done!

Managing Your Gateway

For advanced users, the gateway provides a web-based management

interface. Most users will not need this, but advanced users may find it

helpful. You can access the management interface from the gateway

hotspot or through your WiFi network (after the gateway has joined the

network). Most popular web browsers are supported.

In Microsoft

Windows, use

Windows Explorer

to browse your

Network and locate

your CeresGateway:

Double-click on the Gateway to launch the management interface; you

will be asked for your username and password:

The default User Name is “admin” and the default password is the serial

number (S/N) printed on the bottom of the gateway. For security, you

should change the password using the Security tab after logging in.
