2. General description
2.1 HIKOB Wireless sensor network acquisition system
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 radio transmit their acquired data to the HIKOB
GATEWAY, possibly via HIKOB 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 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, various measurements in civil engineering structures from stress gauges
to crack/inclino-meters, and vibrations from industrial machines for diagnostic purpose, providing
tools for predictive maintenance for example.
2.2 .HIKOB GATEWAY overview
Figure 1 –External view of HIKOB GATEWAY dimensions: 180x120x37.2 mm
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 broadcasted
through the multi-hop wireless network formed by HIKOB sensors and HIKOB LION routers.
These measurements are available, either displayed on a web page, or via APIs exposed by
180
mm

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 outdoor. 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 envelope of the HIKOB GATEWAY, which
are delivered all assembled and ready to be fastened on a pole or a wall, please refer to the
Installation section for details.

4. Installation
4.1Overall 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 WISECOW-
P; on the way where passing vehicles should be controlled for HIKOBWISECOW-T; where road
temperature have to be measured for HIKOB 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 HIKOB GATEWAY is 30m.
–The maximum distance between a HIKOB LION and a HIKOB GATEWAY, 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 LION, the HIKOB router hosts 16 sensors or other routers.
For good radio transmission, both HIKOB GATEWAY and HIKOB 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 HIKOB 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 HIKOB 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 HIKOB
NETPULSE manual for that.

4.2 HIKOB GATEWAY power supply
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 equipment
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.
4.3 Outdoor deployment
The HIKOB 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 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.

a. 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 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 HIKOB GATEWAY
Plug this set up connector to the female Ethernet connector on the back of the HIKOB
GATEWAY.
b. HIKOB GATEWAY arm’s mounting process
The HIKOB GATEWAY is delivered ready to be installed. HIKOB highly recommends using
RAM MOUNTS® products that can be optionally purchased with your HIKOB GATEWAY,
ask your vendor. This is a set of 3 elements:
