Hardware Installation
- Unscrew the two back panel hex bolts and remove the back panel.
- Insert SIM card(s) into the SIM socket(s) located on the bottom side of the PCB.
- Attach the panel and tighten the hex bolts.
- Attach the mobile antenna (maximum torque 0.4 N·m / 3.5 lbf·in).
- Connect PSU leads to the 16-pin terminal block: red wire to the top row first contact (+), black wire to the bottom row first contact (-).
- Connect the 16-pin terminal block to the gateway's 16-pin connector and plug the power adapter into a power outlet.
16-Pin Connector Pinout
Pin | Description |
---|---|
+ | 9-30 VDC positive power pin |
- | Negative/ground power pin |
D1, D2, D3 | Configurable digital Input/Output pins. Open collector output, max output 30 V, 300 mA or Digital input (0-6 V logic low, 8-30 V logic high). |
CTS | RS232 clear data to send pin (output). |
RTS | RS232 request data to send pin (input). |
R+, D+ | RS485 receiver positive signal pin / RS485 driver positive signal pin. |
A | Analog input pin (0-30 V analog voltage range). |
TX | RS232 transmitted data (input). |
RX | RS232 received data (output). |
R-, D- | RS485 receiver negative signal / RS485 driver negative signal. |
Note: Ground pins are available for D1, D2, D3, A, RS232, and RS485.
Device Configuration
- Power on the device and connect the Ethernet cable to your computer.
- Allow the gateway to boot up (up to 60 seconds).
- Open a web browser and navigate to http://192.168.1.1.
- Log in using the default credentials (admin/admin01).
- You will be prompted to change your password for security. The new password must be at least 8 characters long, including an uppercase letter, a lowercase letter, and a digit.
- The Configuration Wizard will start after changing the password, guiding you through the setup of main operating parameters.
- On the Overview page, check the Signal Strength indication to optimize cellular performance by adjusting antennas or device location.
