Setup for SEG questions

Post by turbo » Sat Jun 13, 2015 8:56 am

I've been accessing the GEM on my local network for a few days now.

At the moment, I have the GEM in AP mode. It's connected via Ethernet to my router. I've also set it up to join my local wireless network but haven't tested whether it is doing that. I plan to hard wire the box via Ethernet so the wireless access isn't so important at this point.

I flipped the GEM between AP and STA modes. When in AP mode, the GEM joins my local LAN, acquires an address and I can browse to its config pages. In STA mode, it seems like my PC has to join the GEM's 1.2.3.4 network.

So, in AP mode. I have gone through the config up to the point where I am configuring the GEM for SEG connection in the GEM network utility. I can connect, get the green bar, read the firmware versions (3.25 and 1.49) so all seems good.

I have a yellow light on the Ethernet LED, the system LED is blinking red.

Under the Ethernet tab, when I search, no MAC addresses are appearing. The GEM seems connected in every other way in the network utility app.

So, it seems like I am stuck there until I can get the MAC address showing so I can configure the device for SEG access. Any suggestions?

I had to read your reply a few times and still am uncertain what the problem you're having?

1. Can you access the GEM's internal setup page?
2. Have you configured the GEM per the Users Manual for SEG?
3. Have you created a SEG account and obtained the API Key / Site Token?

Sorry, the interface and manual are all a bit new to me. I was being a bit too literal in my step by step reading of the SEG setup manual and thinking I needed to use the Ethernet tab of the network utility to configure my wifi/ethernet GEM. Just got a bit stuck there.

I've just switched the GEM via the application setup page to send to SEG and looks like I'm getting connected.
