Introduction
This article contains instructions on how to configure ThingsBoard IoT platform and connect DSGW-210 Gateways. ThingsBoard is an IoT platform for data collection, processing, visualization, and device management. It supports cloud and on-premises deployments, and it combines scalability, fault-tolerance and performances to nullify the chances of getting your IoT data lost.
DSGW-210 is IoT gateway with multiple protocol and edge computing function. It provides reliable connectivity for a wide range of wireless IoT devices. The gateway’s modular architecture provides the ability to customize many gateway features including Cellular, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, USB, ZigBee, Z-wave and Li battery backup.

Integration method
Block 1 ThingsBoard configuration
Steps of configuration in the ThingsBoard is shown below, here it takes the sample server in the ThingsBoard.cloud as an example
- [Step 1.1] Register and log in ThingsBoard PE
- [Step 1.2] Switch to device section
- [Step 1.3] Add one more device by pressing the ‘+’ button
- [Step 1.4] Fill in the device name, take the Test_gateway as an example, click ‘is gateway’
- [Step 1.5] Copy the access token, record it for gateway to connect to the ThingsBoard cloud
Block 2 Device configuration
-
[Step 2.1] Log in gateway with user name: root, password: root
-
[Step 2.2] Switch to section IOT Services -> Cloud Config
-
[Step 2.3] Fill in the credentials from ThingsBoard cloud, ThingsBoard Server: thingsboard.cloud, Server Port: 1883, Access Token is in section 1.5
Block 3 Additional information
- [Step 3.1] Check connection in ThingsBoard cloud
-
[Step 3.1.1] seen from the latest telemetry of the gateway, the information of connection is received correctly in the server
- [Step 3.1.2] Active and connect a nearby oximter, notify the data from it
- [Step 3.1.3] Device is correctly registered to the ThingsBoard server, and the oximeter data is received in the cloud
- [Step 3.1.4] Test with another Zigbee temperature & humidity sensor
-
[Step 3.1.5] Manually trigger the sensor to upload data, see the data uploaded in chart
- [Step 3.2] Troubleshooting steps.
Error indicator
Led status | Possible cause & solution |
---|---|
Blue led keep flashing | Gateway rebooting |
Red Led flashing | Gateway not connecting to cloud server, trying to reconnect |
Red Led steady | Internet is down, user need to check the internet connection |
Yellow led on | Gateway is in low battery, user need to charge the gateway |
