Installation
UG63 supports multiple installation methods like desktop, wall mounting, ceiling mounting, etc. Before you start, make sure that all cables have been installed and configurations are completed.
Note: Do not connect device to power supply or other devices when installing.
Desktop
Take off the baffle and mounting plate on the back of the device, then you can place the device on the desktop.
Wall/Ceiling Mounting
- Take off the mounting plate on the back of the device.
- 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.
- Fix the mounting plate to the wall plugs with screws.
- Turn the device clockwise to lock it to the mounting plate.
Login the Web GUI
UG63 provides web-based configuration interface for management. If this is the first time you configure the gateway, please use the default settings below:
Username: admin
Password: password
Connect PC to UG63 ETH port through PoE injector or PoE switch. The following steps are based on Windows 10 operating system for your reference.
- Go to “Control Panel” → “Network and Internet” → “Network and Sharing Center”, then click “Ethernet” (May have different names).
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- After logging the web GUI, you can view system information and perform configuration of the gateway. It’s suggested that you change the password for the sake of security.
Network Connection
- Go to “Network” → “Interface” → “Port” page to select the connection type and configure Ethernet port information, click “Save & Apply” for changes to take effect. UG63 supports Static IP, DHCP and PPPoE modes. If you use static IP, ensure the “Gateway” IP address is the same as your modem/router Ethernet port address.
- Connect Ethernet port of gateway to network devices like router or modem.
- Log in the web GUI via the newly assigned IP address and go to “Status” → “Network” to check Ethernet port status.
Packet Forwarder Configuration
UG63 has pre-installed multiple packet forwarders including Semtech UDP Packet Forwarder, Chirpstack-Generic MQTT broker, LoRa Basic Station, etc. This section explains how to connect the gateway to network servers.
Make sure the gateway connects to the network as shown in Section 6.
- Go to “Packet Forwarder” → “General” page and click to add a network server.
- Fill in the server information and enable this server.
- Go to “Packet Forwarder” → “Radio” page to configure center frequency and channels. The channels of the gateway and network server need to be the same.
- Add the gateway on network server page. For more details about the network server connection
please refer to Milesight IoT Support portal. - Go to “Traffic” page to view the data communication of UG63.
Connect UG63 to Milesight IoT Cloud
UG63 can connect to Milesight IoT Cloud to manage Milesight product’s data. Due to the limitation of memory, it’s suggested to bind not more than 20 devices.
- Ensure the gateway has access to the Internet and is able to ping the domain of Milesight IoT Cloud.
- Go to “Packet Forwarder” → “General” page to enable the embedded network server.
- Go to “Packet Forwarder” → “Radio” page to select the center frequency and channels. The channels of the gateway and nodes need to be the same.
- Go to “Network Server” → “General” page to enable the network server and “Milesight IoT Cloud”
mode.
- Log in the Milesight IoT Cloud. Then go to “My Devices” page and click “+New Devices” to add gateway to Milesight IoT Cloud via SN. Gateway will be added under “Gateways” menu item.
- The gateway is online on Milesight IoT Cloud. After that you can add node devices to cloud directly.
Connect UG63 to UG65/UG67
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.
- Go to “Packet Forwarder” → “General” page to enable the “Remote Embedded NS” and fill in the main gateway IP address which can reach.
- 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.
- 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.
