2. Align the mounting bracket horizontally to the desired position on the wall, use a marker
pen to mark four mounting holes on the wall, and then remove the mounting bracket from
the wall.
Note: The connecting lines of adjacent points are at right angles.
3. Drill four holes with a depth of 32 mm by using your drill with a 6 mm drill bit on the

positions you marked previously on the wall.
4. Insert four wall plugs into the holes respectively.
5. Mount the mounting bracket horizontally to the wall by fixing the wall mounting screws
into the wall plugs.
6. Screw the bracket fixing screws to the back panel of device, then hang the device to the
mounting bracket on the wall.
7. Screw the grounding screw to fix IOT-G65 to the mounting bracket.
3.4.2 Pole Mounting
Preparation: mounting bracket, bracket fixing screws, hose clamp and other required tools.
1. Before you start, make sure that your SIM card has been inserted, your antennas have
been attached and that all cables have been installed.
Note: Do not connect device to power supply or other devices.
2.Loosen the hose clamp by turning the locking mechanism counter-clockwise.
3.Straighten out the hose clamp and slide it through the rectangular rings in the mounting
bracket, wrap the hose clamp around the pole.
4.Use a screwdriver to tighten the locking mechanism by turning it clockwise.

5. Screw the bracket fixing screws to the back panel of device, then hang the device to the
mounting bracket on the pole.
6. Screw the grounding screw to fix IOT-G65 to the mounting bracket.
4. Access the Web GUI of IOT-G65
IOT-G65 provides web-based configuration interface for management. If this is the first time
you configure the gateway, please use the default settings below:
ETH IP Address: 192.168.23.150
Wi-Fi IP Address: 192.168.1.1
Username: admin
Password: password
4.1 Web Access via Ethernet Port
Connect PC to IOT-G65 ETH port directly or through PoE adapter. The following steps are
based on Windows 10 operating system for your reference.
A. Go to “Control Panel” → “Network and Internet” → “Network and Sharing Center”, then
click “Ethernet” (May have different names).

B. Go to “Properties” → “Internet Protocol Version 4(TCP/IPv4) ”and select “Use the
following IP address”, then assign a static IP manually within the same subnet of the gateway.
C. Open a Web browser on your PC (Chrome is recommended) and type in the IP address
192.168.1.1 to access the web GUI.
D. Enter the username and password, click “Login”.
If you enter the username or password incorrectly more than 5 times, the login page
will be locked for 10 minutes.
