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. Note that auto negotiation is always
active on the CloudGate.

WAN/LAN Switchover Feature

The WAN/LAN switchover feature is a mechanism to maximize the internet connectivity

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

This CloudGate operates on DC power provided by a DC power supply or by an AC
power adapter. Only use power supplies in the range 9-33V DC and make sure the
product is installed near a power outlet that is easily accessible.

SAFETY WARNING

When using an AC adapter make sure that the ambient temperature doesn’t exceed
the specified temperature limits of the AC adapter.

SAFETY WARNING

The CloudGate is regarded a Class III equipment: this means that the protection against
electrical shock is provided by means of power supplied by an SELV (Safety Extra Low
Voltage) circuit and that the CloudGate does not generate hazardous voltages within
itself.

As a reference, the power supply available from Option has the following parameters:

Output voltage 12V DC
Max output current 1A

In case you would like to use an industrial power supply Option recommends the next:

http://www.us.tdk-lambda.com/ftp/Specs/dspa.pdf

It can be sourced through Farnel, Mouser, Digikey, ...

Power Connector

The power connector is a Micro-Fit connector from Molex (MX-43025-0400)

Power Consumption

You can find here a document describing all the different power consumption numbers

Preventing Fuse Overload

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

21

with an output voltage higher than 15V, Option recommends using a special cable
which will reduce the amplitude of these charge currents. This cable can be obtained
at your CloudGate distributor.
If the fifth digit of the serial number of the CloudGate is a "C", the CloudGate is an older
model and susceptible to this remark. If the fifth digit is not a "C", the fuse of your
CloudGate will not get broken due to these charge currents.

22

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. The V_PWR is
the voltage level behind the current limiter. The protection circuit causes
a little voltage drop lower than 1V.
3V4: the 3V4 is a power rail generated by a dedicated power circuit on
the main board. The 3V4 is used on the main board and is also available
on the expansion boards.

Low power circuit generated by the micro controller

Provides three voltage rails for very limited power:

3V3: A 3.3V power rail provided by the micro controller is used on the
mainboard and also accessible to the expansion boards
1V8: A 1.8V power rail provided by the micro controller and only used on
the main board
1V2: A 1.2V power rail provided by the micro controller and only used on
the main board

SIM Card Requirements

The CloudGate has an integrated (U)SIM interface compatible with the ISO7816 IC card
standard. The 3GPP standard defines three operational voltages for the supply voltage
of the SIM card: 1.8V, 3V and 5V. The CloudGate supports two voltages: 1.8V and 3V.
The 5V-only SIM cards are rarely used and are not supported by the CloudGate.

General requirements:

Changing of SIM cards while in operating mode, the so called "SIM card hot-
swapping", is not supported.
Detection of the SIM card removal can take up to 30 seconds.
The CloudGate will not be able to communicate with the SIM card after re-
insertion. As a result, the CloudGate needs to be reset after re-insertion of the
SIM.

The description on how to install the SIM card is given in the CloudGate Installation
Guide.

26

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.

Operating temperature: -30°C to 70°C (*) see Safety Warning below
Storage temperature: -40°C to 85°C
Humidity operational: 5% - 95% non condensing
Operating altitude: up to 2000m

Safety Warning

When the device is installed in a location where the environmental temperature can
rise above 60°C, the temperature of the surface might reach high values and therefore
under these conditions the user needs to warned in order to prevent accidental
contact. For this purpose the device has to be installed in a restricted access location
and a warning sticker, in accordance with IEC 60417-5041 (DB:2002-10), must be
applied on a visible part of the unit.
