Dead sensor gateway
Hello!
Few weeks ago our gateway dropped from monitoring. Ping or SNMP didn't work anymore.
Device was rebooted several times. During the boot I noticed that the gateway responded to 3 ping packets and then nothing.
Yesterday I started to investigate the issue more and did a reset for the device. After the reset, the device "died".
Here's a youtube video:
After the reset the device screen wont come on and the device doesn't respond either to any packets.
Has anyone else had this issue?

It seems you need to update the firmware since older firmware doesn't support OLED screen function.
I updated the device now and the device stopped responding again..
Behind your gateway is the serial number, the first 4 digit is the year of the Gateway will determine what firmware you will be using.

This was a really strange problem. As the sensor is a bit far away so testing it is a bit difficult.
The thing went like this:
Gateway stopped responing
Tried rebooting several times
Made a reset for the device
Device had black screen after reset and didn't respond
Hooked the device to laptop and forced 192.168.11.161 ip for the laptop
Got into the device default address 192.168.11.160 with admin/admin credentials
I put all the old settings back including the old address it had and took it back to datacenter
Updated it via webpanel
Device stopped responding
Went to datacenter and noticed that the screen was on but the default ip was listed on the screen
Took it back to office and hooked it up to laptop and again setup all the old settings
Now the device is again working! Thanks for help!
Hope this will help someone else also
Kindly see the user manual instructions when resetting the device. When it is reset it defaults to firmware 3 which does not have DHCP nor support for the OLED. You will then need to follow the procedure as indicated in the manual and as you performed.
