Updating the system name
1. To change the system name, make a folder Read\Write and then make changes to two files:
· /etc/hosts
· /etc/hostname
2. Make a backup of the file names.
(plano)ubuntu@localhost:~$ sudo cp /etc/hosts /etc/hosts.old
(plano)ubuntu@localhost:~$ sudo cp /etc/hostname /etc/hostname.old
3. Edit the hosts file.
(plano)ubuntu@localhost:~$ sudo vi /etc/hosts
For example;
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
127.0.1.1 <newname>.localdomain <newname>
4. Edit the hostname file.
(plano)ubuntu@localhost:~$ sudo vi /etc/hostname
5. Reboot the system to allow the changes to take effect.
(plano)ubuntu@localhost:~$ sudo shutdown –r 0
Changing the time zone
When the system arrives from the factory the OS will usually be set to UTC time zone. To change the time zone to your
location you will need to run the command:
(plano)ubuntu@localhost:~$ sudo mount –o remount,r/
(plano)ubuntu@localhost:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
Follow the menus the program provides to select the correct time zone. After you have set the time zone you will need to
reboot the computer.
NOTE: Ubuntu Snappy runs a time sync daemon. Changing the time will require a special utility to change the time.
On the desktop version of the Ubuntu OS, read the man file for the utility
timedatectl
. This man file explains
how to change the time manually.
Enabling console login via serial
To enable console login via serial (ttyS6) you will need to edit the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file, save your changes, and reboot
the gateway.
(plano)ubuntu@localhost:~$ sudo vi /boot/grub/grub.d
48
Got to line number 42 and change the first console-ttyS0 so that it points to ttyS6 console=ttyS6. Now the line in the
file should look like this:
42 set cmdline="root=LABEL=$label ro init=/lib/systemd/systemd console=ttyS6
console=tty1 panic=-1"
Save the file, and reboot the Edge Gateway. Upon reboot you will be able to see the Operating System boot process as
well as you will be able to login to the gateway via the console screen that is using the serial port on the front of the
Edge Gateway.
Network Communication Interfaces
The Edge Gateway 3000 series comes with two Ethernet connections, one 802.11b/g/n wireless network connection, and
one Bluetooth network connection.
Ethernet (Port 1, eth0)
Assuming that you have an internet enabled Ethernet cable plugged into Port1, your screen should be similar to the one
below after running the ifconfig command. If the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth have not been configured you will not see
them present in the network device list.
(plano)ubuntu@localhost:~$ ifconfig
After running the ifconfig command:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 74:e6:e2:e3:0f:12
inet addr:192.168.28.216 Bcast:192.168.28.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

RX bytes:13920 (13.9 KB) TX bytes:13920 (13.9 KB)
(plano)ubuntu@localhost:~$
Wi-fi (mlan0)
You will use the Network Manager TUI graphical manager to add/remove wireless networks which can be found in the /
apps/bin folder.
(plano)ubuntu@localhost:~$ cd /apps/bin
(plano)ubuntu@localhost:~$ cd /apps/bin
(plano)ubuntu@localhost:/apps/bin$
(plano)ubuntu@localhost:/apps/bin$ sudo ./nmtui
After you add a new Wi-Fi connection, return to the command prompt and run the ifconfig command again. You
should see that your Wi-Fi network device has connected to the access point you just added and it has obtained an ip-
address.
Bluetooth
Use the supplied command line utility to add/remove/communicate with Bluetooth devices. The command line utility can
be found in the /apps/bin folder.
Before setting up the Bluetooth connection, a Bluetooth device that is discoverable and can discover other devices (for
example a cell phone)– is called device_2.
49
1. Access the command line utility.
(plano)ubuntu@localhost:~$ sudo ./apps/bin/bluetoothctl
2. To see what Bluetooth devices are installed on the system under test run the [bluetoothclt]# list
command.
3. To view the status of the installed Bluetooth device, run the [bluetoothclt]# show command.
4. If the installed Bluetooth device is not powered on, run the [bluetoothclt]# power on command.
5. If the installed Bluetooth device is not discoverable, run the [bluetoothclt]# discoverable on
command.
6. If the installed Bluetooth device is not pair-able, run the [bluetoothclt]# pairable on command.
7. Scan for new devices by running the [bluetoothclt]# scan on command.
NOTE: Make sure that device_2 is set to discoverable and ready to pair with the Edge Gateway.
If required, acknowledge or approve the Edge Gateway connection request to device_2. If device_2 is found it
should display its device ID on the screen under the last command issued. For example, if pairing with a phone, the
ID will look similar to <phone name>: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
8. Turn the device scanning off by running the [bluetoothclt]# scan off command.
9. Turn paring mode off by running the [bluetoothclt]# scan off command.
10. Turn discovery off by running the [bluetoothclt]# discoverable off command.
11. Turn the power to the device off by running the [bluetoothclt]# power off command.
12. Exit the program by running the [bluetoothclt]# quit command.
Software enabled Access Point (SoftAP)
NOTE: This feature depends on Wi-Fi card and associated driver support to act as a wireless access point.
To install SoftAP:
1. Login to snappy, make sure the device is connected to internet.
2. Run the #sudo snap seach softap command to find the application from Snappy Store.
3. Run the #sudo snap install wifi-ap command to install the app.
After snap is installed make sure that your system has the following snaps, with the minimum version number listed,
installed on your system.
· network-manager 0.8 canonical
· sw-access-point 1.0 canonical
After the snap installation the service should be running as default configuration:
SSID: Ubuntu
Open-authentication
802.11n 2.4GHz (G mode)
IP Address: 10.0.60.1
DHCP Range: 10.0.60.3-20
DNS server: 10.0.60.1
Gateway: 10.0.60.1
Modes of operation - Access Point
The default mode of operation of this snap is Access Point (AP). To connect to the AP, a client simply needs to discover
a network following the specifications defined above. The AP is configured to accept and forward all network traffic as
a slave access point would on any WiFi network. The AP can be configured to change its common settings such as
SSID, hardware mode and security. To do this, the /var/lib/apps/swaccesspoint.canonical/current/hostapd.conf file must
be edited.
NOTE: This file corresponds to the hostapd configuration file from Linux and it’s manual pages can be found online
at: https://w1.fi/cgit/hostap/plain/hostapd/hostapd.conf
50
Default provided configuration is:
interface=uap0
driver=nl80211
ssid=Ubuntu
hw_mode=g
channel=6
macaddr_acl=0
auth_algs=1
ignore_broadcast_ssid=0
wmm_enabled=1
ieee80211n=1
WPAPSK
Example:
interface=uap0
driver=nl80211
ssid=Ubuntu
hw_mode=g
channel=6
macaddr_acl=0
auth_algs=1
ignore_broadcast_ssid=0
wpa=2
wpa_passphrase=UbuntuAP
wpa_key_mgmt=WPAPSK
wpa_pairwise=TKIP
rsn_pairwise=CCMP
wmm_enabled=1
ieee80211n=1
To reload configuration and restart the hotspot, run the $ sudo snap service restart swaccesspoint
command.
In the case of a network being manually configured via ifupdown, the software access point will not start as it would
otherwise clash in the wireless namespace. The same is not true of Network Manager configured networks, those don’t
cause the AP to stop and depending on the setup can work at the same time.
In case of any issues, please bring down the mlan0 connections setup by Network Manager and allow configuration
through the provide web interface.
Modes of operation - Client Network Selection
The second mode of operation is that of using the AP to leverage a default interface for finding and connecting to other
local wireless networks. This is the use case of an out-of-the-box experience where the AP is solely being used for
initial configuration.
If you connect a client to the access point and point the browser to http://10.0.60.1:8888 you can find a web interface.
Through this web interface, you can scan for nearby networks of the device and configure its connection to an SSID of
your choice. By doing this the access point functionality is disabled and the device goes into client/managed mode.
Upon selection of a network and introduction of the password, the device will configure the network and reboot. Note
that the client device on which the browser was running should now join the same network to connect to Snappy
Ubuntu Core Series 16 system.
Additional Communication Interfaces
CANbus
The device used in the Edge Gateway 3000 is the Microchip PIC32MX530F128H microcontroller. This feature is only
supported if hardware module presented, OS provides the capability of mutual communication between user space
application and physical module. If there is a specific CAN bus programming requirement of user mode application,
contact the hardware provider of that module for API documentation.
The CANbus LEDs default state is OFF, and will only be ON when data is being transmitted.
Ready to use software to control or manipulate the device is not available from Dell. The information listed below is
provide by the device’s manufacturer. Dell does not have any specifications regarding the function of F/W design of
51
CANBus and PIC GPIO controller. Dell is providing basic ‘bit-banging’ & data I/O transfer capability, the rest is
determined by an ISV’s or SI’s application. Additionally ISV’s or SI’s could acquire other software packages from
Microchip, if available, and download them to the controller.
Microsoft Windows
If you are using a Microsoft Windows operating system the VID and PID will show as HID\VID_04D8&PID_003F or
HID\VID_04D8&PID_003C.
Snappy Ubuntu Core 16
To verify that the hardware is installed when running Snappy, run the #dmesg | grep –i microchip command.
Serial
The RS232 and RS422\485 LEDs default state is OFF, and will only be ONwhen data is being transmitted. The device
nodes are ordered by port position starting with the left most port being RS232.
Number Port Type Connector Device Node Mem Space IRQ

OS.
Watchdog Timer
WDT is recommended to be default enabled to active the fail-safe circuitry, Snappy is a Watchdog Timer compatible OS
provides capability to detect and recover system from malfunctions, the design reacts by itself when system hangs
unexpected crash.
Cloud Light
NOTE: If you are using Microsoft Window 10 Enterprise LTSB the cloud light will not function. This is due to a
Microsoft driver issue that was not resolved by the time the OS was released.
One unique feature of the Edge Gateway 3000 series is the Cloud Light. The Cloud Light allows you to visually inspect the
operational status of the Edge Gateway just by looking at the display light on the left side panel of the system.
To enable this feature all that you need to do is expose and program a GPIO register on the system.
