1.2 BEsmart Application
The SG600 acts the role of coordinator, which processes the power data
delivered from smart energy meters connected with electrical appliances by
ZigBee to an xDSL cable modem/router and then transmits to the cloud with
the internet access. All history information of power usage would be saved on
the cloud. BEsmart APP serves as a service platform for smart phone users to
make connection to the cloud server. Hence, users are able to monitor the
instant energy consumption status and review all the previous consumption
records. Furthermore, you can take control of power on/off status remotely for
the home appliances merely by a smart phone with an internet access.

the SG3010-T1/SG3015-T1.
2.3.1 Device Configuration
The Illustration above demonstrates overall structure for device
configurations. To construct the connection environment, you must prepare a
PC, Billion SG600, a router, power meter(s), power plug(s), network
connection provided by ISP, and power supply. For the configuration, please
![](/img.php?id=1938206&img=bgb.png)
8
refer to the following instructions
SG600---Internet (Router)---PC
Connect a XDSL router to PC with an Ethernet cable and prepare your SG600
and connect it to the router with the supplied RJ45 Ethernet cable or wireless
client. Make sure the internet connection is workable (please refer to the next
Network Configuration section). You can configure the SG600 and manage the
power status through the web browser. For different internet environments,
please refer to internet setting document.
Electric Appliance----Power Meter
Plug in the electric appliance to the power meter or home plug and make sure
the power supply is on. Before managing the power information, you have to
pair the meter with the router. For the connection process, please refer to 2.3.3
for device connection.
![](/img.php?id=1938206&img=bgc.png)

2.3.2 Network Configuration
The router can be configured through your web browser. A web browser is
included as a standard application in the following operating systems: Linux,
Mac OS, Windows 98/NT/2000/XP/Me/Vista/7, etc. The product provides an
easy and user-friendly interface for configuration. Please check your PC
network components. The TCP/IP protocol stack and Ethernet network
adapter must be installed. If not, please refer to your Windows-related or other
operating system manuals.
There are ways to connect the router, either through an external repeater hub
or connect directly to your PCs. However, make sure that your PCs have an
Ethernet interface installed properly prior to connecting the router device. You
ought to configure your PCs to obtain an IP address through a DHCP server or
a fixed IP address that must be in the same subnet as the router. The default
IP address of the router is 10.10.10.252 and the subnet mask is 255.0.0.0 (i.e.
any attached PC must be in the same subnet, and have an IP address in the
range of 10.10.10.1 to 10.10.10.251). If you encounter any problem accessing
the router web interface it is advisable to uninstall your firewall program on
your PCs, as they can cause problems accessing the IP address of the router.
Users should make their own decisions on what is best to protect their network.
Please follow the following steps to configure your PC network environment.

CHAPTER 3
Installation of Web Manager
The router not only functions as a smart wireless bridge but builds Power
Management Application into Web GUI. End users can monitor real time
power information and control the Smart Energy Meter through Web GUI
remotely. Please be noted that here we just focus on functions that are
relevant to the power smart management. Let’s start the configurations.
3.1 Quick Start
Step 1 : Hardware setting
Connect the SG600 to your PC’s Ethernet interface with supplied RJ-45
Ethernet cable and the other side to a router or modem with Ethernet cable or
wireless client for the internet connection.
![](/img.php?id=1938206&img=bg20.png)
29
Step 2: Computer IP setting
The default address of SG600 is 10.10.10.252. For the first setting, please
modify your PC IP to the recommended IP 10.10.10.100 (ranged from
10.10.10.1 to 10.10.10.251).
Step3: Access to SG600 WEB GUI
1. Open your web browser and enter the IP address of your router, which by
default is 10.10.10.252, and click “Go”. Then a login window prompt will
appear.
2. The default username and password are “admin” and “admin” respectively.
Choose “Administrator” from the account type to configure and manage the
web settings if your are authorized to access the router.
3. Once you have logged in to your SG600, you can begin to set it up
according to your requirements. You would see the main page of basic
status, including Device Information, Port Status, and WAN information.
![](/img.php?id=1938206&img=bg21.png)
30
4. Time Zone Setting
First, set up the time to meet the time zone of your country. Click “Continute”.
5. SG600 provides the WAN interface based on your own backbone router.
There are 2 Connect Modes: EWAN and Wireless Client.
EWAN: Your backbone router/cable modem is based on Ethernet base.
Wireless Client: Your backbone router or cable modem has the Wi-Fi
function.
For the detail Configuration, please refer to SG600 internet configuration
document.
![](/img.php?id=1938206&img=bg22.png)
31
6. There are 3 types of connection protocols available for WAN connect mode:
Obtain an IP Address Automatically, Fixed IP Address, and PPPoE
connection.
Obtain an IP Address Automatically (DHCP)
When connecting to the ISP, your router also functions as a DHCP client. That
is, your backbone device is xDSL router and your PC is assigned an IP
address automatically.
Fixed IP Address (STATIC IP)
Your backbone device is xDSL router and your PC IP is based on Static IP.
Enter the information provided by your ISP
PPPOE
If your backbone device is xDSL cable modem, please choose PPPOE.
For the detail internet configurations, please refer to SG600 internet settings.
