Hardware Installation

SIM & Micro SD Installation

Remove the front panel of the device, insert the SIM card or micro SD card into the correspondingslot.
Note: UG56 does not support hot plugging (also called hot swapping). please turn off the power before you insert or take off cards.

Antenna Installation

Rotate the LoRa antenna into the antenna connector. The antenna should be installed vertically and kepta way from batteries.

If you need to fix the LoRa fiber-glass antenna to a pole, please pass the 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.

Power Supply

UG56 can be powered by 802.3af standard PoE or Type-C port (5 VDC). If both are connected, the device will be powered by the former method (PoE).

• Power by a PoE Switch
  
  
• Power by a PoE injector
  
  
• Power by a Type-C Port
  
  

Note: When connecting, Ethernet cable of UG56 device side should be installed first, otherwise, PoE devices or gateway may be damaged.

Gateway Installation

Before you get started, make sure all fittings are installed and the power supply is  disconnected.

A. Fix the wall mounting bracket to the device with 2 x M3.

B. Drill 4 holes on the wall according to the wall mounting bracket, then fix the wall plugs into the wall.
C. Fix the device to the wall plugs with M3 wall mounting screws. When installation, it’s suggested to fix the upper two screws first.

Web GUI Access

UG56 provides 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 SSID: Gateway_******
Username: admin
Password: password
Browser: Chrome(recommended)

Wireless Access

A. Enable wireless network connection on your computer and search for access point “Gateway_******”to connect it.
B. Open a web browser on your PC (Chrome is recommended) and type in the IP address 192.168.1.1toaccess 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.
D. After logging the web GUI, follow the guide to complete the basic configurations. It’s suggested that you change the password.

E. You can view system information and perform configuration of the gateway.

Wired Access
