View a gateway's console log over USB

Once a gateway is provisioned and shipped you usually manage it remotely, but when you have it on the bench you can read its live console log straight from the browser — handy for diagnosing Wi-Fi, MQTT, or sensor issues.

1. Use a Chromium-based browser (Chrome/Edge). Web Serial isn't available in Firefox or Safari.
2. Connect the gateway to your computer over USB.
3. Go to Gateways → Connect to Gateway.
4. Click Connect and pick the gateway's serial port when prompted.
5. Click Open Console to start streaming the device's log.

From the console you can also:

• Get Chip ID — read the board's identity (its accesskey).
• Restart — reboot the gateway so its boot log reprints.
• Type a command (e.g. get_chip_id, restart) in the box and Send it.
• Clear — empty the log view.

The connection stays open if you switch pages and come back, so you won't be asked to re-pick the port. Click Disconnect when you're done.

This is the same USB link used to flash and provision a gateway — it does not change any settings on its own. If the port doesn't appear, see Web Serial isn't working.
