Hardware Installation

SIM Card Installation

• Use a screwdriver to open the protective cover on the back panel of UG65.
• Insert the SIM card into the device according to the direction icon on the device.

Note:

•  If you need to take out the SIM card, press into the SIM card and it will pop up automatically.
•  UG65 does not support hot-plugging (also called hot swapping). please turn off the power before you insert or take off cards.

Ethernet Cable & Power Cable Installation

•  Connect the Ethernet cable and power cable to corresponding interfaces.
• .Pass two cables through the waterproof silicone and slid into the grooves.
•  Screw the protective cover back to the device.

UG6x can also be powered by 802.3af standard PoE injector or other PoE devices. If both connected, DC power is preferred.
Note:
When connecting, the Ethernet cable of UG65 device side should be installed first, otherwise, PoE devices or gateway may be damaged.

Antenna Installation
For the external antenna version, rotate the antenna into the antenna connector accordingly. The external antenna should be installed vertically always on a site with a good signal.

Note:
Please do not let the front panel of products faces to walls if using embedded LoRa antennas.

Gateway Installation
UG65 can be mounted to a wall or a pole. Before you start, make sure that your SIM card has been inserted, your antennas have been attached and all cables have been installed.

Wall Mounting
Preparation: mounting bracket, bracket fixing screws, wall plugs, wall mounting screws and other required tools.

1.  Align the mounting bracket horizontally to the desired position on the wall, use a marker pen to mark four mounting holes on the wall, and then remove the mounting bracket from the wall.
   Note:
   The connecting lines of adjacent points are at right angles.

2.  Drill four holes with a depth of 32 mm by using your drill with a 6 mm drill bit on the positions you marked previously on the wall.

3. Insert four wall plugs into the holes respectively.

4. Mount the mounting bracket horizontally to the wall by fixing the wall mounting screws into the wall plugs.

5. Screw the bracket fixing screws to the back panel of device, then hang the device to the mounting bracket on the wall.

Pole Mounting
Preparation: mounting bracket, bracket fixing screws, hose clamp and other required tools.

1. Loosen the hose clamp by turning the locking mechanism counter-clockwise.
2.  Straighten out the hose clamp and slide it through the rectangular rings in the mounting bracket, wrap the hose clamp around the pole.
3.  Use a screwdriver to tighten the locking mechanism by turning it clockwise.
4. Screw the bracket fixing screws to the back panel of device, then hang the device to the mounting bracket on the pole.

Log in the Web GUI of Gateway

UG65 provides a web-based configuration interface for management. If this is the first time you configure the gateway, please use the default settings below:

• ETH IP Address: 192.168.23.150
• Wi-Fi IP Address: 192.168.1.1
• Wi-Fi AP: Gateway_**
• Username: admin
• Password: password

Wireless Access

• Enable Wireless Network Connection on your computer and search for access point “Gateway_**” to connect it.
•  Open a Web browser on your PC (Chrome is recommended) and type in the IP address 192.168.1.1 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, follow the guide to complete the basic configurations. You can also skip the instructions. It’s suggested that you change the password for the sake of security.
• You can view system information and perform configuration of the gateway.

Wired Access
Connect PC to UG65 ETH port directly or through PoE injector. 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, follow the guide to complete the basic configurations. You can also skip the instructions. It’s suggested that you change the password for the sake of security.
•  After guide complete, you can view system information and perform the configuration of the gateway.

 Network Configuration

This section explains how to connect the gateway to the network via WAN connection, Wi-Fi or cellular.
Ethernet WAN Configuration

• Go to the “Network”→ “Interface” → “Port” page to select the connection type and configure Ethernet port information.
  Click “Save & Apply” for changes to take effect.

•  Connect Ethernet port of gateway to 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.

Wi-Fi Connection Configuration

• Go to “Network” → “Interface” → “WLAN” and select “Client” mode.
  Click “Scan” to search for Wi-Fi access point. Select the available one and click “Join Network”.

•  Type the key of Wi-Fi.

• Go to “Status”→”WLAN” to check Wi-Fi status. If it shows “Connected”, it means gateway connects to Wi-Fi successfully.

Cellular Connection Configuration

•  Go to the “Network” → “Interface” → “Cellular” → “Cellular Setting” page to enable cellular settings.
•  Choose relevant network type and fill in SIM card information like APN or PIN code.
• Click “Save” and “Apply” for changes to take effect.
• Go to “Status” → “Cellular” page to view the status of the cellular connection. If it shows “Connected”, it means the SIM has dialed up successfully. On the other hand, you can check the status of LTE indicator. If it keeps on blue light statically, it means SIM has dialed up successfully.

 Packet Forwarder Configuration

UG65 has embedded multiple packet forwarders like Semtech and Chirpstack Generic MQTT broker. This section explains how to connect the gateway to third-party network servers.Make sure the gateway connects to the network as shown in Section 5.

• Go to “Packet Forwarder” → “General” page and click
• Fill in the server information and enable this server.
•  Go to “Packet Forwarder” → “Radio” page to configure antenna type, center frequency and channels. The channels of the gateway and network server need to be the same.
•  Add the gateway on the network server page. Take TTN for example, type and save the gateway EUI and other information when you connect it via Semtech packet forwarder. After you add the gateway, TTN will show connection status.
•  Go to the “Traffic” page to view the data communication of UG65.

Network Server Configuration

UG65 can work as a network server and transmit data to Milesight IoT Cloud or another platform via MQTT/HTTP/HTTPS.Make sure the gateway connects to the network as shown in Section 5.

Connect UG65 to Milesight IoT Cloud
