3. Hardware Installation
3.1 SIM Card Installation
- Insert the SIM card into the device according to the direction icon on the device. If you need to take out the SIM card, press into the SIM card and it will pop up automatically.
- Tighten the SIM dust cover with wrench to prevent water into the device.
Note: UG67 does not support hot plugging (also called hot swapping). please turn off the power before you insert or take off cards.
[Diagram illustrating SIM card insertion and dust cover tightening.]
3.2 Antenna Installation
UG67 supports multiple LoRa antenna types. After installation, please select the corresponding installation type in web GUI.
Internal Antenna Mode: keep gateway positive outwards to ensure good signal.
Signal Antenna Mode: the external antenna must be installed on ANT1 connector.
Double Antenna Mode: it's suggested to add coaxial cable between one of antenna connectors (ANT1 is recommended) and LoRa antenna to ensure better performance. After installation, the LoRa antenna can be fixed to a pole via antenna clamp kit. Pass this LoRa antenna through the antenna clamp and fix it with 4 screws, then wrap the U-bolt around a pole and fix the clamp with nuts and other accessories.
[Diagram showing antenna installation options, including pole mounting with clamp kit.]
3.3 Ethernet Cable & Power Cable Installation
Pass the Ethernet cable through the cable gland and rotate the cable gland to gateway, then tighten the cable gland with wrench.
For DC or solar power supply, remove the protective cap of power connector and rotate the DC power cable into the power connector.
[Diagram showing Ethernet cable connection through cable gland and DC/solar power cable connection.]
3.4 Power Supply
UG67 can be powered by 802.3af standard PoE or 12VDC. Please follow the picture to provide power supply via PoE injector:
[Diagram illustrating power supply connection via PoE injector.]
3.5 Gateway Installation
