4.2 Wall/Ceiling Mounting
A. Take off the mounting plate on the back of the device.
B. Align the mounting plate horizontally to the desired position on the wall or ceiling to mark two mounting holes, drill two holes as these marks, insert wall plugs into the holes respectively.
6

C. Fix the mounting plate to the wall plugs with screws.
D. Turn the device clockwise to lock it to the mounting plate.
5. Login the Web GUI
UG63 provides web-based configuration interface for management.

Go to “Control Panel” “Network and Internet” “Network and Sharing Center”, then click “Ethernet” (May have different names).
7

B. Go to “Properties” “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” and select “Use the following IP address”, then assign a static IP manually within the same subnet of the gateway.
C. Open a Web browser on your PC (Chrome is recommended) and type in the IP address 192.168.23.1 50 to access the web GUI. D. Enter the username and password, click “Login”.
If you enter the username or password incorrectly more than 5 times, the login page will be locked for 10 minutes.

Milesight UG6x LoRaWAN® gateway can set up multi-gateway architecture, which can make different ga teway failover each other and extend signal coverage, while make one node device roams in multiple gateways. One UG65/UG67 gateway can be used as network server and other UG6x series gateways can be used as packet forwarder and transmit all data to the main gateway.
13

A. Go to “Packet Forwarder” “General” page to enable the “Remote Embedded NS” and fill in the main gateway IP address which can reach.
B. Go to “Network Server” “Gateway Fleet” page of UG65/UG67 to add the gateway ID of UG63 gateway and define a name, then save the settings.
C. After connected, the UG63 can transfer node data to UG65/UG67 and you can check the data details on “Network Server” “Packets” page of UG65/UG67.
