Attention

1) Gateway should be installed in the place with at least 20 degrees of depression angle
to building edges, and with at least 50cm clearance when installed at the side of a building
wall.

2) LoRa Omni directional antenna should be as far as possible from the other antennas,
and should be lower than the highest elevated point of the building.

3）The antenna should be installed vertically to the ground to achieve good effect.

4）Do the protection of lightning protection for gateway equipment, access network
cable of gateway, gateway antennas(surge arrester/lightning protector), and make sure
the antenna with the feeder to be connected to ground.

5）Using low power consumption RF coaxial cable of the feeder , as short as possible.

6）The feeder connector of antennas should be waterproof. If the feeder connector has
been flooded for a long time, the contact resistance of the connector is increased, the line
loss of the signal line is increased, and the antenna performance will be decreased.

7）If using 4G, you should choose a place with better L TE signal; The monthly traffic
plan should be more than 6G (depending on the number of nodes).

8）When the gateway is power on, the sequence of connection is: Firstly, connect one
end of network cable to gateway , and then the other end of the network cable to POE power
source or the end of POE exchanger, otherwise, the POE power source or POE exchanger
port will be damaged.

9）If using the PC side browser, it is strongly recommended that you use Google or
Firefox.

10) We suggest connecting POE splitter with backup power supply to prevent damage
of the log stored in TF card after power cut. If there is big data stored in TF card, it’ll take
long time to restore the log of the TF card after restarting th e gateway, and the gateway can
work normally after you finished restoring the log of TF card.

11)The product requires professional installation and the certified antennas should be
used.

Product introduction

1. Product definition

Winext Technology have launched the IoT base station gateway GW5000A based on low
power LoRaWAN protocol, which can provide low power, mobile and safe local
bidirectional communication service for IoT devices. LoRaWAN can simplify the
interconnection of device, user and network, as well as provide standard.

GW5000A is designed to be used in long rang e star network architectures; it can a chieve
message delivery between front-end device and central network server. GW5000A is
connected to the network server via standard IP connections while front-end devices use
single-hop wireless communication to one or many GW5000A gateways.

The communication between front-end devices and GW5000A is established by
different channels and data rate, which can be negotiated in advance. In order to save the
battery life, GW5000A can maximize the power saving by implementing ADR (Adaptive
Date Rate). With our IoT technology and our base station gateway GW5000A, users can
then have their own IoT control system to achieve customized smart services, which will be
widely applied in the f ields of smart p arking, smart fire-fighting, energy management, asset
tracking, smart grid, industry 4.0, smart agriculture and ect in the future.

enable by default.

FAQ

1. Gateway will not work after a power failure

When there is a power failure, the log on the TF card is damaged, after restart gateway,
it’ll do self-check to automatically repair log, if TF card data quantity is large, it’ ll take a
long time to repair, in the process of repairing, the gateway is not working.

Solution: enter the configuration interface of gateway (192.168.3.1) , gateway login,

select “Network/LoRa GW/Status”, click “CLEAR THE LOG OF TF CARD”, as below:

After clear the log of TF card, pls restart the gateway, then it’ll work again.

34

Shenzhen Winext Technology Co., Ltd.

2. GPS unable to locating

Enter 192.168.3.1 interface:

1） Check whether there is positioning information or not, if yes, it means GPS

is normal

2）Check whether there is time synchronization or not, as below:

If GPS is normal, the time synchronization should be less than 5 seconds, the above

picture shows “(age: 0 sec), that means the GPS is normal.

3）If GPS has no location information, you can re-plug the GPS antenna, or

repositioning in an open area, or update GPS antenna.

35

Shenzhen Winext Technology Co., Ltd.

3.Nodes cannot access to the network

1）Check whether the gateway works normally or not.
2）Check whether there is power supply for nodes

3) Nodes power on

4.LoRa signal and data rate
）Received Signal Strength Indicator(RSSI)

1

125KHZband width, rate:300～5.4K bit/s, as below:

Note: the limit value of SF12 is -142. Generally speaking, if signal below -124 dBm, the

packet drop rate(PDR) will be high, normal value should be during -120dBm~ -40dBm.

2）Signal Noise Ratio(SNR)

Note: The limit value of SF12 is -20db, the limit value of SF10 is -15db. The closer it’s from

the limit value, the worse the signal.

The above data is based on the basis of the gateway test, if you use a node test, the data is

different.
