please turn off the power before you insert or take off cards.
3.2 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 good
signal.
Signal Antenna Mode : the external antenna must be installed on ANT1
connector.
Double Antenna Mode: it’s suggested to add coaxial cable between one of antenna connectors (ANT1 is recommended) and LoRa antenna to ensure better performance. After installation, the LoRa antenna can be fixed to a pole via 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.
3.3 Ethernet Cable & Power Cable Installation
Pass the Ethernet cable through the cable gland and rotate the cable gland to
gateway, then tighten the cable gland with wrench.
For DC or solar power supply, remove the protective cap of power connector and rotate the DC power cable into the power connector.
3.4 Power Supply
UG67 can be powered by 802.3af standard PoE or 12VDC. Please follow the
picture to provide power supply via PoE injector:
3.5 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.

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 device, then screw the bracket screw to the bottom of the device.
3.5.2 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 device, then screw the bracket screw to the bottom of the device.
