DC Power Connector

UG67 supports 12 VDC or solar supply via an M12 connector.

Hardware Installation

SIM Card Installation

A. 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.
B. Tighten the SIM dust cover with a 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.

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 a good signal.
Signal Antenna Mode: the external antenna must be installed on the ANT1 connector.

Double Antenna Mode: it’s suggested to add a coaxial cable between one of the antenna connectors (ANT1 is recommended) and the LoRa antenna to ensure better performance. After installation, the LoRa antenna can be fixed to a pole via an 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.

Ethernet Cable & Power Cable Installation

Pass the Ethernet cable through the cable gland and rotate the cable gland to the gateway, then tighten the cable gland with a wrench.

For DC or solar power supply, remove the protective cap of the power connector and rotate the DC power cable into the power connector.

Power Supply

UG67 can be powered by 802.3af standard PoE or 12VDC. Please follow the picture to provide power supply via PoE injector:

Gateway Installation

UG67 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.
Note: Do not connect the device to the power supply or other devices when installing.

Wall Mounting

Preparation: mounting bracket (with a screw), wall plugs, wall mounting screws, and other required tools.
A. 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.
B. 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.
C. Insert four wall plugs into the holes respectively.
D. Mount the mounting bracket horizontally to the wall by fixing the wall mounting screws into the wall plugs.

E. Hang the device to the mounting bracket via bracket mounting screws on the back of the device, then screw the bracket screw to the bottom of the device.

Pole Mounting

Preparation: mounting bracket (with a screw), hose clamp, and other required tools.
A. Loosen the hose clamp by turning the locking mechanism counter-clockwise.
B. Straighten out the hose clamp and slide it through the rectangular rings in the mounting bracket, wrap the hose clamp around the pole.
C. Use a screwdriver to tighten the locking mechanism by turning it clockwise.

D. Hang the device to the mounting bracket via bracket mounting screws on the back of the device, then screw the bracket screw to the bottom of the device.

Log in to the Web GUI

UG67 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
