Installing your Edge Gateway
WARNING: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, read the safety and regulatory information
that is shipped with your system. For additional best practices information, go to www.dell.com/
regulatory_compliance.
Safety and regulatory information
WARNING: The Edge Gateway must be installed by knowledgeable, skilled persons familiar with local and/or
international electrical codes and regulations.
WARNING: The Edge Gateway is not designed for use in wet environments. If the Edge Gateway is to be
installed in a wet environment, depending on the location and environment, it must be installed in a panel box or
enclosure with an Ingress Protection (IP) rating of IP54, IP65, or higher.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, power to the DC+ and DC- terminals must be provided by a
power supply or transformer/rectifier circuit that is designed with double-insulation. The power supply or
power circuit source must comply with local codes and regulations; for example, in the USA, NEC Class 2
(SELV/limited energy circuit, or LPS circuitry). If powered by a battery, double-insulation is not required.
3
WARNING: When installing the Edge Gateway, the responsible party or integrator shall use the 12-57 VDC or
Power over Ethernet (PoE) power source 37-57 VDC, with a minimum of 13 W power already present as part of
the client’s installation.
WARNING: Ensure that the power source providing power to the Edge Gateway is reliably grounded and filtered
such that the peak-to-peak ripple component is less than 10 percent of the input DC voltage.
WARNING: When installing the Edge Gateway 3003, use a cable appropriate for the load currents: 3-core cable
rated 5 A at 90°C (194°F) minimum, which conform to either IEC 60227 or IEC 60245. The system accepts
cables from 0.8 mm to 2 mm. The maximum operating temperature of the Edge Gateway is 60⁰ C (140°F). Do not
exceed this maximum temperature while operating the Edge Gateway inside an enclosure. Internal heating of the
Edge Gateway electronics, other electronics, and the lack of ventilation inside an enclosure can cause the
operating temperature of the Edge Gateway to be greater than the outside ambient temperature. Continuous
operation of the Edge Gateway at temperatures greater than 60⁰C (140°F) may result in an increased failure
rate and a reduction of the product life. Ensure that the maximum operating temperature of the Edge Gateway
when placed inside an enclosure is 60⁰C (140°F) or less.
WARNING: Always ensure that the available power source matches the required input power of the Edge
Gateway. Check the input power markings next to power connector(s) before making connections. The 12-57
VDC (1.08-0.23 A) or the PoE power source must be compliant with local Electrical Codes and Regulations.
WARNING: To ensure the protection provided by the Edge Gateway is not impaired, do not use or install the
system in any manner other than what is specified in this manual.
WARNING: If a battery is included as part of the system or network, the battery must be installed within an
appropriate enclosure in accordance with local fire and electrical codes and laws.
WARNING: The system is for installation in a suitable industrial enclosure (provides electrical, mechanical, and
fire hazard protection).
WARNING: The core module only can be wall-mounted (without the need for an additional enclosure).

8. Connect to the Edge Gateway using the IP address 192.168.2.1. The default username and password are both admin.
Ubuntu Core 16
Boot up and log in – Remote system configuration
1. Connect a network cable from Ethernet port one on the Edge Gateway to a DHCP-enabled network or router that provides
IP addresses.
2. In your network's DHCP server, use the command dhcp-lease-list to obtain the IP address associated with the Edge
Gateway's MAC address.
3. Setup as SSH session using an SSH terminal emulator (for example, native command-line ssh client on Linux or PuTTY on
Windows).
NOTE: The SSH service is enabled on Ubuntu Core 16 by default.
4. Enter the command ssh admin@<IP address>, followed by the default user name and password. The default user name
and password are both admin.
For example;
lo@lo-Latitude-E7470:~$ ssh admin@10.101.46.209
admin@10.101.46.209's password:
Boot up and log in – Static IP system configuration
This allows you to connect your Edge Gateway through a host computer, which must be on the same subnet.
The static IP address of Ethernet port two on the Edge Gateway is set to these values at the factory:
NOTE:
● IP address: 192.168.2.1
92 Appendix
Page 93
● Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
● DHCP server: Not applicable
1. On the host computer, configure the Ethernet adaptor that is connected to the Edge Gateway with a static IPv4 address
under the same subnet. Set the IPv4 address to 192.168.2.x (where x represents the last digit of the IP address, for
example, 192.168.2.2).
NOTE: Do not set the IPv4 address to the same IP address as the Edge Gateway. Use an IP address between
192.168.2.2 to 192.168.2.254.
Set the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0.
