1. Preface
This document describes how to install and operate the edge computing gateway IG900 series products (IG902-B and IG902-H) of Beijing InHand Networks Technology. Before using these products, confirm the product model and the number of accessories inside the package, and purchase a SIM card from the local network operator.
IG902-B is used as an example. Refer to the actual product during operation.
2. Packing List
Each edge computing gateway product is delivered with accessories (such as standard accessories) frequently used at the customer site. Check the received product against the packing list carefully. If any accessory is missing or damaged, contact the InHand sales personnel promptly.
InHand provides customers with optional accessories based on the characteristics of different sites. For details, see the optional accessories list.
The following sections describe the panel, structure, and dimensions of the edge computing gateway.
2.1. Panel
CautionThe IG900 series product is applicable to multiple panel appearances, as they have the same installation method. Refer to the actual product during operation.
2.2. Structure and Dimensions
3. Installation
Precautions:
- Power supply requirements: 24 V DC (1248 V DC). Pay attention to the voltage class. The rated current is 0.6 A (1.20.3 A).
- Environment requirements: operating temperature 25°C to 75°C; storage temperature 40°C to 85°C; relative humidity 5% to 95% (non-condensing). The temperature on the device surface may be high. Install the device in a restricted area and assess the surrounding environment.
- Avoid direct sunlight and keep away from thermal sources or areas with strong electromagnetic interferences.
- Install the gateway product on an industrial DIN-rail.
- Check whether the required cables and connectors are installed.
3.1.Installing and Uninstalling the Device on a DIN-Rail
3.1.1. Installing with a DIN-Rail
Procedure: Step 1: Select an installation place and reserve enough space for installation. Step 2: Insert the upper part of the DIN rail seat onto the DIN rail. Grab the lower end of the device and revolve it upward in the direction indicated by arrow 2 with gentle force, to insert the DIN rail seat onto the DIN rail. Check that the device is installed reliably on the DIN rail, as shown in Figure 3-1 on the right.
3.1.2. Uninstalling with a DIN-Rail
Procedure:
Step 1: Press the device downward in the direction indicated by arrow 1 in Figure 3-2 to create a gap near the lower end of the device so that the device isolates from the DIN rail.
Step 2: Revolve the device in the direction indicated by arrow 2, and grab the lower end of the device and move the device outward. Lift the device when its lower end isolates from the DIN rail. Then, take off the device from the DIN rail.
3.2.Installing and Uninstalling the Device in Wall-mounted Mode
3.2.1. Installing in Wall-mounted Mode
Procedure:
Step 1: Select an installation place and reserve enough space for installation.
Step 2: Install the wall mounting bracket on the back of the device by using a screwdriver, as shown in Figure 3-3.
Step 3: Take out the screws (packaged with the wall mounting bracket), fasten the screws in the installation positions by using the screwdriver, and pull down the device to make it secure, as shown in Figure 3-4.
3.2.2. Uninstalling in Wall-mounted Mode
Procedure: Hold the device with one hand and unfasten the screws that fix the upper end of the device with the other hand, to remove the device from the installation place.
3.3. Installing a SIM Card
IG902 supports Dual SIM card. Unfasten the screws on the cover of the SIM card holder by using a screwdriver and insert a SIM card.
3.4.Installing an Antenna
Revolve the movable part of the metal SMAJ interface with gentle force until it cannot be revolved, in which state the outer thread of the antenna connection cable is invisible. Do not wring the antenna with force by grabbing the black plastic cover.
Note
- IG900 supports dual antenna: ANT antenna and AUX antenna. The ANT antenna sends and receives data. The AUX antenna only increases the antenna signal strength and cannot be used independently for data transmission.
- Only the ANT antenna is used in normal cases. It is used with the AUX antenna only when signal is poor and signal strength must be improved.
3.5.Installing the Power Supply
Procedure:
Step 1: Remove the terminal from the gateway.Step 2: Unfasten the locking screw on the terminal.Step 3: Connect the power cable to the terminal and fasten the locking screw.
3.6.Installing the Ground Protection
Procedure:
Step 1: Unfasten the ground screw cap.Step 2: Put the ground loop of the cabinet ground cable onto the ground post.Step 3: Fasten the ground screw cap.
CautionGround the gateway to improve its interference resistance. Connect the ground cable to the ground post of the gateway based on the operation environment.
3.7. Connecting the Network Cable
Connect the gateway to a PC directly by using the Ethernet cable.
3.8.Connecting Terminals
Terminals provide the RS232 and RS485 interface modes. Connect cables to the corresponding terminals before using the interfaces. During installation, remove the terminals from the device, unfasten the locking screws on the terminals, connect cables to the corresponding terminals, and fasten the screws. Sort the cables in order.
NoteThis section is only applicable to IG900 with industrial interfaces.
4. Configuring Network Connection for a Wireless Gateway
4.1.Connecting to the Gateway
Set the IP address of the management PC and the IP addresses of the GE interfaces of the gateway to be in the same network segment. The gateway has two GE interfaces: GE0/1 and GE0/2. The initial IP address of GE0/1 is 192.168.1.1, and that of GE0/2 is 192.168.2.1. Both interfaces have the same subnet mask 255.255.255.0. The following describes how to connect GE0/2 to the management PC in the Windows operating system.
4.2.Logging in to the Gateway
Connect the PC to the gateway directly by using the network cable, start the web browser, enter https://192.168.2.1 in the address bar, and press Enter to jump to the web login page. Enter the user name (default: adm) and password (default: 123456), and click OK or press Enter to access the web configuration page.
4.3.Performing Dial-up on the Gateway
4.3.1. Configuring Gateway Dial-up
IG902 supports two dial-up modes: single card and dual card. The single card mode is used by default, in which only SIM card 1 is used.
To use the dual card mode, you need to set related parameters. On the page shown in the following figure, choose Show Advanced Options>Dual SIM Enable, select the primary card, and save the settings.
4.3.2. Verifying the Gateway Dial-up StatusChoose Network>Cellular in the navigation tree to access the Status page. The page displays the network connection status, that is, the IP address obtained by the gateway. You can also verify the dial-up status on a web page.
CautionBy default, the DNS of the PC connected to GE0/1 cannot use the IP address of GE0/1; otherwise, public domain names cannot be accessed. You can enable the DHCP server or configure another DNS for public domain name access.
