Private Deployment Mode Based on your configuration on the platform, the device can operate in either Gateway Mode or Broker Mode.

Working Mode Switching

Method 1:

※ Can be any device capable of enabling a 2.4G hotspot, such as a smartphone, tablet, or computer
This is a preset network for device debugging. When connected to this hotspot, the device will ignore the private deployment configuration and connect to the platform.
Method 2:

Item Description
Timing for Switching Operations When switching device modes, the interval between each step should not exceed 3 seconds.
That is: after the indicator stops flashing and enters the configuration state [Step 2 above], if there is no operation within 3 seconds, the device will restart.
Entering Platform Mode Without Public Network Access The device needs to connect to the platform (deployed on the public cloud) to enter Platform Mode. In scenarios where public network access is unavailable, you need to enable the debugging hotspot mentioned above.
How to Restart the Device After the indicator stops flashing and enters the configuration state [Step 2 above], do not perform any operations. The device will restart after 3 seconds.
Device Mode After Restart After mode switching, the device will restart immediately and enter the specified mode.
