Setting up an IIoT Gateway - Generation 3

This guide helps you setting up a gateway to use with the Connectitude IIoT Platform™.

Please read the reference guide for more in-depth details.

Incorrect port names on chassis

The ethernet port naming on the chassis is reversed, port 1 (cloud network) is actually marked with ETH2 and port 2 (machine network) is marked with ETH1.

Connect to Internet - Using an ethernet connection

1. Connect an ethernet cable with Internet access to the cloud network on ethernet port 1 (ETH2), which also supports PoE.

   

2. Connect the necessary antennas depending on the configuration ordered (optional).

   Connector	Function
   WiFi-A / BT	Wifi / Bluetooth antenna
   WiFi-B	Secondary Wifi antenna
   WWAN	Main LTE antenna
   AUX	Auxiliary GNSS antenna

3. Power the IIoT Gateway using the supplied DC terminal block adapter connected to a 24-36V PSU, or by using an appropriate PSU output supplying 12VDC 3A. PoE is also possible on ethernet port 1 (ETH2).

   

Connect to Internet - Using a mobile broadband connection

Prerequisites

• Before you power on the IIoT Gateway, insert a nano-SIM card into the SIM-card slot.

• Ensure that the service provider has already activated the micro-SIM card before you use it in the IIoT Gateway.

• Ensure that the pin code is removed from nano-SIM card before you use it in the IIoT Gateway.

1. Power off the IIoT Gateway.

2. Remove the screw from the SIM/PROG tray-cover.

3. Insert a SIM removal tool into the cover popping hole to pop the tray-cover.

4. Place the nano SIM card, without any PIN-code, into the tray.

5. Carefully push the tray-cover back in.

6. Close the SIM/PROG cover screw.

7. Power on the IIoT Gateway.

8. The gateway will automatically try to identify the correct APN settings, if publicly available, and create a connection.

   

Connect the machine network

1. Connect an ethernet cable with access to the LAN used for PLCs, for example, to the machine network on ethernet port 2 (ETH1).
