2 General description
2.1 HIKOB Wireless sensor network acquisition system
The GATEWAY is one of the elementsthat 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 radio transmit their acquired data to the GATEWAY, possibly via 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 GATEWAY provides the user with these acquisitions through its embedded
software: NETPULSE, which makes the interface to any TCP/IP network.
HIKOB systems cover data acquisitions such as vehicle detection for controlled traffic or parking
management.
2.2 GATEWAY overview
Figure 1 –External view of GATEWAY dimensions: 180x120x37.2 mm
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 broadcasted through the
multi-hop wireless network formed by HIKOB sensors and 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 GATEWAY can therefore be integrated in a 3rd party
information system. GATEWAY provides services as well to configure HIKOB sensors, and to
perform basic maintenance such as firmware update.
The 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 GATEWAY can be installed and used outdoor. The GATEWAY casing is
water resistant with an IP65 protection. The first number 6 identifies protection against complete
180
mm

ingress of dust, the second number 5, identifies protection against the effects of spraying water.
Should you decide to perform cleaning tasks on the 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 envelope of the GATEWAY, which are delivered
all assembled and readyto befastened on a poleor a wall, please refer to the Installation section
for details.

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 WISECOW-P; on the
way where passing vehicles should be controlled for WISECOW-T; where road temperature
have to be measured for WISECOW-W; and so on with other sensors types. Then you can
determine the number of routers you need for your network following these rules:
–The maximum distance between buried sensors and the GATEWAY is 30m.
–The maximum distance between a LION and a GATEWAY, varies between 100 and
300m, depending on the terrain topology.
–A GATEWAY hosts 80 elements in all, and 30 as direct children in the multi hop radio
network.
–The LION, the HIKOB router hosts 16 sensors or other routers.
For good radio transmission, both GATEWAY and LION need to be installed on elevated spots,
around 5m high. You will have better signal transmission with routers close to sensors and far
from other routers or GATEWAY.
Keep In mind that 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.
The GATEWAY provides useful user information to appraise the radio signal quality between
elements of the HIKOB network. Refer to section Radio quality link in the NETPULSE manual
for that.
4.2 GATEWAY power supply
The 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 equipment and
the powered device GATEWAY.
•The PoE connector stamped OUT goes to the GATEWAY.

Installation Guide
INSTALL_GATEWAY-V5
2019/01 Edition
Page 10
•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.
4.3 Outdoor deployment
The GATEWAY is suitable for outdoor use: the envelope has maximum protection against dust
ingress and is water resistant (IP65).
In case of an outdoor installation and power for the 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 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 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 equip
your Ethernet cable, just follow these step by step graphical instructions:
Figure 3: Steps to dress the Ethernet cable with the Amphenol connector housing
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 GATEWAY

Plug this set up connector to the female Ethernet connector on the back of the GATEWAY.
4.3.2 GATEWAY arm’s mounting process
The GATEWAY is delivered ready to be installed. HIKOB highly recommends using RAM
MOUNTS® products that can be optionally purchased with your GATEWAY, ask your vendor.
This is a set of 3 elements:
RAP-379U-M616
A first ball joint with a male screw that does the female thread on
any 4 holes of the GATEWAY casing.
RAM-2461U
A second ball joint, to be mounted on a wall or a pole. It can be
either screwed or attached with plastic clamps, or any method that
suits your environment constraints.
RAM-201U-B
And the double socket arm allowing good adjustment.
