    1.8.4. Ethernet Interface This section describes the Ethernet interface on the CloudGate main board. Ethernet Interface RJ-45 receptacle tab on top 10/100 Mbps 100BASE-TX Auto-MDIX Pinout Yellow LED: Active when operating speed is 100 Mbps Inactive when operating speed is 10 Mbps or when not connected Green LED: Active when valid links are detected Blinks when activity is detected...
  • Page 13 Pin # Function Not used RX/TX- Not used Not used IMPORTANT: The auto-MDIX feature is always activated on the CloudGate. This feature automatically detects the required cable connection type (straight or crossed), and configures the connection appropriately, removing the need for crossover cables. In order for auto-MDIX to work correctly, auto-negotiation (auto speed and auto duplex) must be enabled on both sides of the link.

    1.8.5. Power Requirements Base Unit Power Supply The symbol on the label at the bottom side of the CloudGate shows the power requirements: Input voltage must be between 9V - 33V DC Internal electronic fuse limits the input current to 1.2A For the power cable between the external power supply unit and the CloudGate Option recommends to use a power cable that has a wire thickness of 22 AWG! SAFETY WARNING...

  • Page 16 SAFETY WARNING On old CloudGate models, a huge inrush current caused by capacitors inside the CloudGate may cause an internal fuse to break. When using an external power supply with an output voltage higher than 15V, Option recommends using a special cable which will reduce the amplitude of these charge currents.
  • Page 17: Internal Power Circuits

    1.8.5.1. Internal Power Circuits The voltage applied by the power adapter to the CloudGate is converted into different voltage rails on the main board. Two different power circuits make five different voltage rails. Dedicated high current power circuit Provides two different voltage rails which both can deliver high current levels: V_PWR: At the power adapter input of the CloudGate there is an overvoltage protection circuit and a current limiter of 1.2A.

    1.8.6. Reset Button On the back side of the unit there is a reset button behind the hole in the top panel (indicated by the "2" in the picture above). This button allows to restart the unit or to reset it to the factory settings: press and hold for less than ten seconds to reset the unit to the last working settings, press and hold for ten seconds or more to reset the unit to factory settings.
