2 General description of the HIKOB GATEWAY

The HIKOB GATEWAY is one of the elements that constitutes the HIKOB wireless sensor
radio network. This system is a set of wireless sensors doing multi-point distributed measures
in various domains.These sensors radiotransmit their acquired data to the HIKOB GATEWAY,
possibly via HIKOB AZURE LION routers, depending on environment constraints for radio
transmission. This local radio network operates in the 2.4GHz ISM bandwidth and implements
the standardized IEEE 802.15.4e protocol. The HIKOB GATEWAY provides the user with
these acquisitions through its embedded software: HIKOB NET PULSE, which makes the
interface to any TCP/IP network.

HIKOB systems cover data acquisitions such as vehicle detection for controlled traffic or
parking management, various measurements in civil engineering structures from stress gauges
to crack/inclino-meters, and vibrations from industrial machines for diagnotic purpose, provid­ing tools for predictive maintenance for example.

2.1 HIKOB GATEWAY overview

Figure 1: External view of HIKOB GATEWAY

HIKOB GATEWAY interfaces the 2.4Ghz ISM HIKOB radio network by providing connection
with any TCP/IP network. It receives and treats sensors measurements that are brodcasted
through the multi-hop wireless network formed by HIKOB sensors and HIKOB AZURE LION
routers. These measurements are available, either displayed on a web page, or via APIs
exposed by an embedded REST server. Information exposed by the HIKOB GATEWAY can
therefore be integrated in a 3rd party information system. HIKOB GATEWAY provides as well
services to configure HIKOB sensors, and to perform basic maintenance such as firmware
update.

The HIKOB GATEWAY is not energy-autonomous: it is powered by the PoE technology
(Power over Ethernet) through an Ethernet cable.

Models A and B of the HIKOB GATEWAY can be installed and used outdoor1. The HIKOB GATE­WAY casing is water resistant with an IP65 protection. The first number 6 identifies protection
against complete ingress of dust, the second number 5, identifies protection against the ef­fects of spraying water. Should you decide to perform cleaning tasks on the HIKOB GATEWAY,
don’t perform high pressure cleaning, prefer wiping with a dry cloth, or with a neutral agent.

Radio and GPS antennas are integrated into the enveloppe of the HIKOB GATEWAY for A
and B models, which are delivered all assembled and ready to be fastened on a pole or a wall,
please refer to the Installation section for details. The C model is not suitable for outdoor use
due to its SMA connector for remote antenna.

4 Installation

4.1 Overall methodology

Installing an HIKOB radio network requires a good topology analysis of your site to maximize
radio transmission quality by optimizing positions and numbers of HIKOB nodes in the net­work. A preliminary study done with your vendor determines elements that will constitute your
HIKOB radio network acquisition.

Draw a site map: position your stationary sensors on parking places for HIKOB WISE COW
Parking; on the way where passing vehicles should be controlled for HIKOB WISE COW Traf­fic; where road temperature have to be measured for HIKOB POLAR BEAR. Then you can
determine the number of routers you need for your network following these rules:

– The maximum distance between buried sensors2and the HIKOB GATEWAY is 30m.

– The maximum distance between a HIKOB GATEWAY and the HIKOB AZURE LION

varies between 100 and 300m, depending on the terrain topology.

– A HIKOB GATEWAY hosts 80 elements in all, and 30 as direct children in the multi hop

radio network.

– The HIKOB AZURE LION, the HIKOB router hosts 16 sensors or other routers.

For good radio transmission, both HIKOB GATEWAY and HIKOB AZURE LION need to be
installed on elevated spots, around 5m high. Ideally for the HIKOB GATEWAY, 5m above your
technical enclosure, from where you will pull your Ethernet cable. Should you have distance
to cover between the HIKOB GATEWAY and the electrical cabinet, don’t go over 100m, which
is the recommendation for Cat 5e cables to ensure good data transmission.

These are theoretical considerations. RF waves quality heavily rely on the environment
they propagate in. Identify the most distant sensors, and zones where you suspect waves will
propagate painfully, like having metal or concrete obstacles in the way. You can easily find
information on the web that list material disrupting RF waves propagation. The best choice for
routers / gateway positions and orientations can be made empirically, by installing the system
and running it for a trial fit. The HIKOB GATEWAY provides useful user information to appraise
the radio link quality between elements of the HIKOB network. Refer to section Radio quality
link in the NET PULSE manual for that, reorient elements if needed, sometimes adding extra
HIKOB AZURE LION enhances radio coverage.

4.2 Connection

4.2.1 PoE connection

The HIKOB GATEWAY is powered via ethernet using the PoE technology (Power over Eth­ernet) based on the 802.3af-2003 and 802.3af-2009 standards. This allows both data and
power delivery over category 5e or better cables. So ideally your site has an ethernet network
carrying cables providing PoE.

If your site does not provide a connection insuring the standard PoE technology, then you
need to use a PoE injector that must be compliant with the 802.3af-2003 and 802.3af-2009
norm. This standard ensures interoperability between your power sourcing equipement and
the powered device HIKOB GATEWAY.

– The PoE connector stamped OUT goes to the HIKOB GATEWAY.

– The PoE connector stamped IN goes to your IP network.

– You supply the PoE injector with cables and plugs following your country / area safety

directives for electrical devices.

4.2.2 External antenna

The C model of the HIKOB GATEWAY has an SMA connector to plug an external antenna that
must not have a gain higher than +3dB. Observe safety rules installing a remote antenna on
the C model: you place the remote antenna inside the same building the HIKOB GATEWAY is
installed in.

Version 1.3-2466

4.3 Outdoor deployment

It is forbidden to install outdoors the C model of the HIKOB GATEWAY, the
one having a external SMA connector for a remote radio antenna.

Models A and B of the HIKOB GATEWAY are suitable for outdoor use: the enveloppe has
maximum protection against dust ingress, and is water resistant (IP65).

In case of an outdoor installation and power for the HIKOB GATEWAY is
supplied by a PoE injector, you will have to pay attention to the standard
safety rules installing electrical devices outside.

Most likely you’ll need a technical electrical enclosure to host the PoE, and to supply power.
Some PoE are sold to be useable outdoor, some are sold with an extra IP66 enclosure, when
choosing your equipment, pay attention to the 802.3af-2003 and 802.3af-2009 compatibility
and to operating temperatures as well. HIKOB has some product references to advise, ask
our vendors.

Consider as well other alternatives: you can have the HIKOB GATEWAY installed outside,
and the PoE inside.

4.3.1 Ethernet cable set up for outdoor use

HIKOB provides an industrial connector housing (Amphenol Socapex RJF RB 6, which is
IP67), to be mounted on the ethernet cable before connecting it to the HIKOB GATEWAY.
This is a protective sealed and hardened envelope which can be added around any standard
RJ45 connector. Choose an Ethernet cable suitable for outdoor use. You don’t need tools to
equipy your ethernet cable, just follow these step by step graphical instructions:

Figure 3: Steps to dress the Ethernet cable with the Amphenol connector housing.

October 2015 · Page 13/ 15

HIKOB GATEWAY

Version 1.3-2466

Pull a Cat.5e ethernet cable from your electrical cabinet, not going further than 100m
long, to ensure data rate quality. Don’t connect it while you’re doing the installation.

Mount the Amphenol Socapex on the end of the cable that goes to the HIKOB GATEWAY

Plug this set up connector to the female Ethernet connector on the back of the HIKOB GATE­WAY.

4.4 HIKOB GATEWAY Mounting procedure

The HIKOB GATEWAY is delivered ready to be installed.HIKOB highly recommands using
RAM MOUNTS®products3that can be optionally purchased with your HIKOB GATEWAY,
ask your vendor. This is a set of 3 elements:
