Mounting the LoRaWAN Gateway to a Dropped Ceiling
The LoRaWAN gateway ships with a T-rail mounting kit to mount the gateway on the ceiling tile separators of standard dropped ceilings. The mounting
clips come in two sizes and can be mounted to either recessed (using the spacer) or flush dropped ceiling T-rails. LoRaWAN gateways should be
positioned for maximum throughput and range between other gateways and wireless client devices. To mount the gateway to a dropped ceiling:
1. Attach the appropriate size ceiling clips to the bottom cover of the LoRaWAN gateway using the provided short screws as shown in

NOTE
If extra space is required to accommodate recessed dropped ceiling tiles, use the provided spacers and longer screws included in the T-rail ceiling mount
kit.
2. Once the ceiling clips are attached to the LoRaWAN gateway, line up the T-rail clips with an appropriately sized rail and press the unit onto the rail
until it snaps into place.
Supplying Power to the LoRaWAN Gateway
The LoRaWAN gateway does not have a power switch. It is powered on when connected to a network device that supplies PoE based on the IEEE
802.3at standard.
To power the LoRaWAN gateway, follow these steps:
1. Connect one end of the provided RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the POE/NET port on the LoRaWAN gateway.
2. Connect the other end to a PoE-powering network device.
3. Confirm that the power is connected properly. The POWER LED should be ON (see
g
NOTE
If a PoE-powering device is not available, the micro universal serial bus (micro-USB) connection (labeled Aux/PWR) can be used for powering the
LoRaWAN gateway instead (as shown in
Connecting to the LoRaWAN Gateway
Once the LoRaWAN gateway is installed and powered, you can connect to the gateway using the Bluetooth-connected ADTRAN IoT application.
Initial Gateway Connection Using the ADTRAN IoT App
You can connect to the LoRaWAN gateway using the Bluetooth ADTRAN IoT app from a supported Apple
app, follow these steps:
1. Download the ADTRAN IoT app onto your Apple device. The ADTRAN IoT app is available for download from Apple's App Store.
2. Ensure that the Bluetooth feature of your Apple device is on.
