/dev/ttyUSB0 = RS232
/dev/ttyUSB1 = RS485

Change the baud-rate according to your slave device requirement. In Modbus RTU 9600 baud-rate is most common used.

Data bits are used to represent each character or data unit in a communication protocol. Select the appropriate setting.

Parity is an error-checking mechanism to detect data transmission errors. Most devices use the None option.

A stop bit signals the end of a data frame, helping the receiver recognize when one byte is complete.

1 Stop Bit: For stable connections and higher speed.
2 Stop Bits: For increased reliability or when devices need more processing time.

Select the option according to the slave device.

Modbus TCP/IP

In Modbus TCP/IP, only the IP address and port number (typically 502) are required for communication.

Certificates

To enhance security for data transmission, you can use certificate-based TLS along with credentials.
Certificate-based TLS (Transport Layer Security) require CA(Certificate Authorities) file, Client Certificate and Private key
Credentials often require a username and password for authentication and access control in secure systems.

MQTT

Enter the Server Hostname/IP, Server Port, Publish Topic and Subscribe Topic. Select QoS level as per requirement and Client ID it is Auto-generate.

QoS (Quality of Service) level

QoS 0 (At most once): Fast, no acknowledgment, possible message loss.
QoS 1 (At least once): Acknowledged, possible duplicates.
QoS 2 (Exactly once): Highest reliability, no duplicates, uses a four-step handshake.

Firmware update

The system can be updated via the built-in website. We can update OpenWRT firmware both when the system is running and when it's in U-Boot mode. In cases we need to have a firmware file with a new system compatible with this gateway model. Uploading the incorrect image may cause the device to malfunction.

When OpenWRT is running

Go to System > Backup / Flash Firmware. At the bottom of the page is an option to Flash new firmware image. Select the correct system image and click Flash Image.

This is followed by a firmware file selection window.

Select the correct file and click upload.

The file will be loaded into the gateway and verified. If it is verified correctly it will go to the window where the option "Keep settings and retain the current configuration" will be checked. If you do not care about keeping the configuration, it is better to uncheck this option.

Then you have to wait a few minutes for the system to load and update.

Do not turn off the gateway while the system is being updated. This will damage the system.

By U-Boot mode

This method of uploading firmware should only be used when the system is not working and the firmware cannot be uploaded in the normal way. To enter U-Boot mode press RESET switch for 4 seconds when switching on the power supply. The Gateway should start on U-Boot mode. In U-Boot mode, the white STAT LED glows continuously. To access internal website go to IP 192.168.10.50 and load firmware from proper firmware file provided by Atreyo.

Uploading incompatible firmware not provided by Atreyo will void the warranty.

Then you have to wait a few minutes for the system to load and update.

Do not turn off the gateway while the system is being updated. This will damage the system.
