Mount the LoRaWAN Gateway to a wall

The LoRaWAN Gateway can be mounted in multiple ways: wall-mounting, ceiling-mounting, or using a rail. The following steps relate to wall mounting.

NOTE: The LoRaWAN Gateway is used as part of our Food Retail solution. 

 

Food_Quicksteps_markGatewayStep 1
Mark a location for the mounting bracket where you want to place the gateway on the wall and drill three 5mm holes.

 

Food_Quicksteps_wallplug1Step 2
Insert expansion plugs into the drilled holes then secure the mounting bracket to the wall.

 

Step 3
Align the lower edge of the gateway's hanging hole with the bracket's locking plate.

Step 4
Move the gateway closer to the bracket so that the bracket's locking plate enters the gateway's hanging hole.

Install Address? The install address is essential for accurate geolocation tracking and a number of reporting filters. When a service technician starts an installation task, they are guided through the outlet setup workflow - which includes the outlet address and device configuration for both the LoRaWAN Gateway and sensors. This is managed within the Technician view of the AoFrio iQ mobile app, not the Field app used for other AoFrio IoT hardware.
