Verson 3.0  Date: 2019-2

1.1 Brief introduction

WE-GW-10 gateway is a full-duplex data communication industrial-grade outdoor gateway based on LoRaWAN protocol, which is of high-performance, low-power and wide range networking. It is waterproof and of wide voltage input to be the key equipment for building low-power WAN. It can support all kinds of equipments two-way wireless communication services, LoRaWAN, 2G/3G/4G wireless communication and 100M Ethernet wired communication. It can also meet the networking requirements of high-speed communication, low power consumption, and many nodes access. More importantly, this industrial-grade communication device can work stably in harsh environments so it is an ideal gateway to apply to smart lighting, smart city, smart community, smart bus station and other fields when supports frequency bands of CN470-510, US915, AU915, AS923, KR920, IN865.

1.2 Features

1.5 Structural parameters

Weight: 2.7kg

Size: 640x340x100 (mm)

2. Installation

The WE-GW-10 must be properly installed to achieve the function, so usually the installation of the equipment needs to be carried out under the guidance of a qualified engineer.

The gateway supports these two modes, 2G/3G/4G and ETH (wired) for networking. Users can select the networking mode according to the actual situation. If 4G network and ETH are connected at the same time, Ethernet has priority.

Note: Do not operate when gateway is electrified.

2.4 Sim card installation

2.4.1 Unscrew and open the gateway

2.4.2 Find the SIM card holder location

2.4.3 Insert the sim card:

2.4.4 Close the gateway and tighten all the screws

2.5 Antenna installation

2.5.1 LoRaWAN has 2 antennas of different lengths, and the short is 4G antenna, which is connected to the right side of the front of the gateway. The long is the LoRaWAN antenna, which is connected to the left side of the front of the gateway. As shown below:

           

2.6 Ethernet connection

Plug the network cable into the gateway line.

2.7 Adaptor connection

WE-GW-10 is typically used in complex external environments. In order to adapt to the complex application environment and improve the stability of the system, the gateway uses advanced power technology. Users can either use the standard 24VDC/2A power adapter or directly use the DC 12~36V power supply to power the gateway. If user use external power supply, the stability of the power supply must be ensured (the ripple should be less than 300mV and the instantaneous voltage does not exceed 36V), and the power of supply should be bigger than 5W. A standard 24VDC/2A power supply is recommended.

                                   

3. Operation

After the above installation, the gateway can be powered on normally, and the user can grasp the running status of the gateway according to the indicators of the gateway.

3.1 Power-on

The indicator light is red during the power-on of the gateway.

3.2 Networking connection

When the network is connecting, the indicator light flashes blue.

3.3 Successful networking

When successful to connect to network and establish with the cloud platform, the indicator light is green.
