Front and Back View of CloudGate Ethernet
The CloudGate Base Unit is assembled in the top half of the device. The bottom half is
available for the insertion of expansion cards.
The front and back side of the CloudGate housing are closed by means of metal
panels that are secured with Torx T6 screws.
The top panels are designed by Option and cannot be changed, since they provide
the interfaces of the base unit. The bottom panels can be customized to match the
external interfaces of the expansion card.
Front View
Connectors and LED indicators on the top front panel
On the front side of the device we can see the following :
1 Ethernet port 10/100 Mbps RJ-45
2 Torx T6 screws -
A detailed description of the LEDs is given in the section about the LED Indicators.
Bottom Front Panel

LED Indicators on the CloudGate Ethernet
LED Description
WLAN State Indicates the connection status of the
WLAN interface
Off: not installed
Orange: WLAN board = OK, client not
connected and AP not enabled
Orange blinking: AP disabled and Client
connected / data traffic
Red: board error/ (Any that causes AP or
Client not to work)
Green: AP enabled
Green flashing: AP enabled and Client
connected/data traffic
WLAN Client Signal Strength Indicates the signal strength of the
WLAN CLIENT interface
when connected to a WLAN access point
Off: The WLAN CLIENT is off or not
connected
Orange: The WLAN Client is receiving a
moderate signal strength
Red: The WLAN Client is receiving bad
signal strength
Green: The WLAN client is receiving good
signal strength
Green flashing: n/a
GPS/Aux State Indicates the GPS operation
Off: no WWAN modem installed
