The Portal comes with 2 Satellite Ports, both of which use an 8-pin M12 Circular connector. Satellite Port 1 should be used with the Fleet Modem included. This can be achieved by connecting the Fleet Modem to Satellite Port 1 using the included cable by inserting the cable end into the 8-pin M12 Circular connector and then hand-tightening it. -

MAN-PTL-002 v0.4 2.1.6 WiFi Antenna Port The included WiFi Antenna Port uses an SMA female connector which should be connected to the WIFI/LTE/GPS Antenna. This can be done by using the cable with a green end marked “WIFI” coming out of the Antenna into the WiFi Port. The male SMA connector on the end of the cable should be inserted and then hand-tightened. -

And if solar panels are being utilised, then an MPPT is recommended which can be attached to the Serial Port using an RJ11 male connector. Note: The Fleet Modem also utilises M4 screws and so the same kind of mounting methods mentioned above for the Portal can also be used with the Fleet Modem. -
Page 10: Configuration
MAN-PTL-002 v0.4 ● 2 x LoRa ● WiFi ● GPS ● LTE Where possible, it is recommended to use a low profile multiband antenna for WiFi, GPS and LTE. This are omnidirectional and should be mounted as high as possible. The LoRa antenna/s are typically selected based on the application. -
Page 11: Method 2: Wired Ethernet - Direct Connection
MAN-PTL-002 v0.4 The Portal is now connected. The Portal can be accessed with the following IP address: 192.168.4.1 3.1.2 Method 2: Wired Ethernet – Direct Connection The Portal can also be accessed using the Ethernet port. This is a less portable method of connecting to the Portal, however, Wi-Fi can still be used on your device while you operate the Portal. -

MAN-PTL-002 v0.4 3.1.3 Method 3: Wired Ethernet – Local Network The Portal can also be assigned an IP address by connection to a router. This is useful if you require remote access to the Portal that cannot be serviced via Wi-Fi or direct Ethernet connection. 1. -

MAN-PTL-002 v0.4 3.3 Portal Configuration 3.3.1 Device Groups Device Groups are objects that separate the use cases of your LoRa network. For instance, one device group may be soil monitoring and another might be water reservoir monitoring. Device groups provide a way for the user to group common sensors together to make managing them easier. Each device group contains scripts which are called codecs. -
Page 14: Creating Custom Codecs
As mentioned above, one may change the codecs within an application for custom use. It is not recommended to change encoding codecs without consulting Fleet first, as unsuitable changes made here could make it impossible to retrieve your data after satellite backhaul. -
Page 15: Region Selection / Frequency Bands
The Portal supports a variety of devices. More devices are constantly being added, and each of these require a different codec. If you need to use a device which is not presently supported, contact Fleet and we can provide support in creating your own codec. -
Page 16: Lorawan Device Classes
MAN-PTL-002 v0.4 3.3.5 LoRaWAN Device Classes LoRaWAN comes in three different device classes: A, B & C. The Portal supports all three classes of device. The device group created on the portal must match the classes supported by the device being used. Failure to do so will result in the device not being able to receive downlinks from the Portal. - Page 17 ● Application Session If the nodes were provided by Fleet, these details will be included in the packaging. If purchased independently, you will need to consult the user manual and data sheets of those nodes and sensors. To add a LoRa Device to an application: 1.

Note: the exact fields shown here will depend on the LoRaMAC version of your device group b. ABP devices: Enter the device address and activation keys in the appropriate boxes. Note: the exact fields shown here will depend on the LoRaMAC version of your device group 6.
