Cockpit¶
Cockpit is the built-in web console for configuring and monitoring an Epithos IIoT gateway. It runs on the gateway itself and is reached from any browser on the same network — no software install required.
This manual is for the person who installs and maintains a gateway on-site: a technician or installer setting up connectivity to PLCs and local SCADA/automation software, checking on device health, or handing off remote access to an engineer.
What you can do with Cockpit¶
- Check device identity and resource usage (CPU, memory, disk, temperature) — see Dashboard
- Start, stop, and enable/disable background services — see Services
- Launch local applications like Node-RED or a SCADA web app — see Apps
- Configure Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and Cellular connectivity — see Network
- Join a ZeroTier network for secure remote access — see Network → ZeroTier
- Forward PLC engineering-software ports to a remote engineer over ZeroTier — see Network → ForwPort
- Temporarily share a local app link with someone off-site — see Network → EProx
- Browse, upload, and download files in the gateway's Public folder — see Files
- Apply signed firmware/software updates and view the audit log — see Settings
Reaching Cockpit¶
Open a browser and go to the gateway's IP address on port 8080, for example:
http://192.168.0.157:8080
You'll need the gateway's IP address (see your network's DHCP client list, or a LAN scanner) and a username and password from whoever set up the device.
Depending on your device model
Not every gateway model has the same hardware. Wi-Fi and Cellular only appear in the Network page on models that actually have that hardware — see Network → Overview for details. Screenshots in this manual are taken from one specific gateway model and may not show every tab your device has.
