• Updates software automatically, and manages over-the-air software updates to connected devices
Software
The LODESTAR+ Gateway comes with software pre-installed. During commissioning the Gateway will download applicable
software updates over the Internet and immediately install to the latest version. Uninterrupted Internet connectivity over time will
allow the LODESTAR+ Gateway software to update its software automatically, ensuring that important updates are applied to
the device as required.
Internet connectivity is required during initial start-up for time synchronization, after which a consistent connection is recommended.
LODESTAR+ System Overview
The LODESTAR+ System is a powerful and intelligent IoT-enabled wireless control platform offered by PLC Multipoint, providing
reliable, automated, and secure lighting control that can be implemented and operated simply.
The LODESTAR+ System supports a variety of lighting control devices and control modes. Contact PLC Multipoint to learn
more. However, in its simplest and standard implementation, PLC Multipoint has purposefully tailored the LODESTAR+ System
for simple exterior lighting control in small- and mid-sized commercial installations.
The LODESTAR+ System offered by PLC Multipoint supports control of exterior lights using Lighting Controllers, such as the
LODESTAR+ Lighting Controllers.
One LODESTAR+ Gateway can support up to 120 Lighting Controllers. One LODESTAR+ System can support up to six (6)
LODESTAR+ Gateways, thereby supporting 720 Lighting Controllers on a single LODESTAR+ System network. The LODESTAR+
Mobile App can be used to reconfigure zones, schedules, and more at any time.

Gateway Commissioning & Start-up Guide
LODESTAR+ Gateway Installation
Gateway Placement & Guidelines
• The Gateway is not rated for outdoor use and must be located indoors.
• The Gateway should initially be installed against a window facing the parking lot or area lights with the Controllers.
• The Gateway should have a clear line-of-sight with one or more of the Lighting Controllers.
• The Gateway should be near a power outlet (120VAC).
• The Gateway should be near an Ethernet jack – a physical Ethernet cable is required to connect to the Internet.
• The Gateway should be secured in an area that limits physical access from unauthorized users.
• Note that installation of the Gateway Installation in an enclosed area or cabinet will significantly degrade RF performance,
and the Gateway should never be installed within a metal enclosure.
Connecting Gateway to the Local Area Network (LAN)
A wired Local Area Network (LAN) connection is necessary for operation of the Gateway.
• The Gateway uses DHCP to obtain an IP Address from the local LAN.
• The Gateway communicates to the cloud using HTTPS and will need to be allowed in the firewall.
The Gateway uses HTTPS because this protocol is typically permitted through firewalls.
This connection is necessary to communicate with mobile devices with wireless connectivity to the same network (for system
commissioning and local control), and for connectivity to the Internet. The LAN should provide continuous Internet connectivity,
which is required to:
• Allow mobile devices with login credentials to be used for remote (off premises) connectivity
• Allow automatic updating of the Gateway software
• Allow the Gateway to coordinate software updates to networked devices
• Maintain accuracy in day and time settings for schedules
This step is typically accomplished by plugging the Gateway directly into the Wi-Fi router or access point, but the network
configuration at the site may provide for alternative options for LAN connectivity.
Note: It is strongly recommended that a local IT security professional be involved with the network configuration and set-up to
ensure the installation meets security needs. Follow best practices for connection to the corporate IT network via Ethernet, and to
ensure that only authorized users can connect to the Gateway.

Gateway Commissioning & Start-up Guide
Using the included Ethernet cable, connect the Gateway
to an active LAN port via the RJ45 Ethernet jack.
See diagram for details on the jack location.
Wireless Network Requirements
The Gateway communicates to the Lighting Controllers outside the building using a wireless mesh network over 2.4 GHz.
The Gateway needs to be within a recommended distance of approx. 300 feet, line of sight, of at
least one Lighting Controller. Sight specic conditions may require less distance for initial hop.
Please note that if the Lighting Controller is not located on an outdoor facing window, then the range may be reduced by the
building wall, depending on the material.
Powering the Gateway
The LODESTAR+ Gateway is supplied with a 5V Power Adapter. To provide power to the Gateway, connect the adapter into a
standard power outlet that supports 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. Although settings are stored in the Gateway memory and will
be retained in the event of a power loss, continuous power is recommended to ensure system operation.
THE GATEWAY IS POWERED BY AN UNCONTROLLED (ALWAYS ON) POWER OUTLET.
It is recommended that an Uninterpretable Power Supply (UPS) be used in-line with the 5V power
adapter to maintain power to the Gateway during power outages.
When powered, the green and red Light Emitting Diodes
(LEDs) on the side of the Gateway provide insight into
device status.

Gateway Commissioning & Start-up Guide
LED Behaviors
Following is a table describing LED behaviors:
LED State Meaning
Green (Solid) The Gateway is operating normally
Green (Blinking) The Gateway is going through one of a couple normal conditions that will last for a brief time.
This includes:
2 blinks – Joining is enabled (to allow new Lighting Controllers or other devices to connect).
4 blinks – The Gateway is updating its software
Red (Blinking) The number of blinks in series indicate a connection error.
Errors include:
2 Blinks – The Gateway does not have an IP address.
3 blinks – The Gateway received an IP address but can’t connect to the Internet.
4 blinks – The Gateway can connect to the Internet but is unable to contact the cloud server.
Green (Solid) Gateway is installing a new software image and will reset shortly. Do not unplug.
& Red (Solid)
If neither the green nor red LED are illuminated, review the Troubleshooting section in this document.
Once the green LED on the Gateway is solid and the red is not illuminated (indicating normal operation),
proceed to the next step.
Powering the Lighting Controllers
Refer to Lighting Controller specific documentation. However, for the LODESTAR+ Lighting Controllers from PLC Multipoint:
• Verify luminaire voltages to ensure the proper LODESTAR+ Lighting Controller is used. There are two versions of the
LODESTAR+ Lighting Controllers: (a) one for 105-305 VAC; and (b) one for 315-530 VAC.
• The outdoor/exterior parking lot luminaires must always have constant power applied. It is strongly recommended
that the luminaires are wired directly to the circuit breaker. This will ensure that power always remains on the
luminaires, even during the day when the luminaires are typically turned off.
LODESTAR+ Gateway Conguration
Installing the LODESTAR+ Mobile App
If not already done, install the LODESTAR+ Mobile App on the mobile device to be used for commissioning. The app is avail-
able in the Apple App Store for iOS devices (requiring iOS version 9.0 or higher) or in the Google Play Store for Android
devices (requiring Android version 6.0 or higher).
Note: Screen captures included in this document highlight the iOS experience for the LODESTAR+ Mobile App. Although there
are slight differences in the appearance, commissioning using Android devices is consistent with iOS.

Gateway Commissioning & Start-up Guide
Setting Up a Wi-Fi Connection on Mobile Device
A wireless connection to the LAN is necessary for the mobile device to be used for system commissioning. This is accomplished
by joining the mobile device to the Wi-Fi network associated with the LAN (often referred to as a Wireless Local Area Network).
Ensure that Wi-Fi is enabled on your mobile device, and search through the available Wi-Fi networks to find the Wireless Net-
work Name (SSID) for the appropriate network. If unclear as to the correct SSID, contact the building management or network
administrator.
If connecting to a dual band Wi-Fi router, wireless networks in either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz frequencies can be selected.
Note: Do not connect to an available network that has been congured as a Guest Network.
As typically congured, Guest Networks restrict access to connected devices on the network.
Connection of a mobile device to a Guest Network will not allow the mobile device to connect
with the LODESTAR+ Gateway.
If any difficulties are encountered joining the wireless network, please contact the network administrator for the building.
Getting Started in the App
Launch the LODESTAR+ Mobile App on your mobile device by tapping the app icon.
While the app loads, a screen will appear featuring the LODESTAR+ logo.
If the mobile device is not able to connect to a local network or the gateway,
an error screen will appear with detail on the connection error.
See the Troubleshooting section of this document for details on
resolving connection problems.

Gateway Commissioning & Start-up Guide
After the app loads, the “Get Started” welcome screen provides options to “Log In”
or “Setup” a new gateway.
The “Log In” function is intended to remotely control and modify an already-configured
gateway to which the mobile device has already connected. The “Setup” function is
for new installations or for connecting a mobile device to a local, already-configured
gateway to which the mobile device has not already connected.
Press “Setup” to begin the start-up & commissioning process.
Account Creation
When beginning the Setup process, users will be prompted to Create a new account.
Creation of an account will allow for remote (off premise) control of the LODESTAR+ Gateway. Creating an account is
unnecessary for any user that is not involved in the ongoing operation of the lighting installation in the facility.
Note: Accounts can be registered even after installation. If there is any question as to the ongoing need for off-premise access
or the potential security implications to having such access, we recommend skipping this step.
After tapping “Setup” on the welcome screen, the user will be prompted to
create an account.
To proceed with account creation, tap “Register”.
If an account is not necessary (outlined above), tap “Agree & Skip” to accept the terms
of the End User License Agreement (EULA) and move ahead to continue without creating
an account.
Before tapping “Agree & Skip”, be sure to review the EULA. The EULA can be
launched by tapping the text for the “End User License Agreement (EULA)”.

A successful scan will yield a confirmation screen, and the app will automatically
move to the next screens in the set-up process.
Conrm and Name the Gateway
Once the LODESTAR+ Gateway is found, you will be prompted to “Confirm the Gateway” to ensure that you are
communicating with the correct gateway. This process ensures that the appropriate gateway is configured for
installations where multiple gateways exist on the same LAN. This also adds a layer of physical security, ensuring
that a mobile app user has access to the LAN as well as physical access to the gateway.
During this step, the “Confirm” screen will appear.
When this screen appears, press and release the blue button located on the side of
the gateway hardware to complete the confirmation process.

Gateway Commissioning & Start-up Guide
Zones
Within the LODESTAR+ System, a zone represents a grouping of devices that will employ identical operational characteristics.
Any area of a project where the lighting should act together can be included in a zone.
Installation Tips for Commissioning Zones
Radial Commissioning
If possible, commission zones and devices in an outward, radial fashion, starting with the closest zone to the LODESTAR+
Gateway. Building the network out from the LODESTAR+ Gateway location ensures that each node will be able to reach the
gateway, either directly or via a neighboring device which already has an existing connection.
Powering One Zone at a Time
When scanning for devices, the LODESTAR+ Gateway will automatically search for all available devices within range of its
network. The devices can then be confirmed visually before adding them to a zone. However, the process can be delayed if
devices outside the configuration zone are discovered during the scan process.
We recommend systematically powering-up individual zones, scanning one zone at a time to simplify the process of device
discovery. Begin by cutting the power to all un-commissioned devices (line powered and battery) in all zones except the zone
that you intend to scan. Sequence through each zone in this manner and be careful not to de-power any circuits that power the
gateway.
Powering zones in this manner is particularly important if a project includes multiple gateways.
Devices that are in a section of the project that are not intended to be discovered by the gateway
currently being set-up should not be powered.
Creating the First Zone
The LODESTAR+ App will systematically walk you through the steps needed to create
and scan for new devices within a zone.
After accessing an unconfigured gateway from the Dashboard, the “Zone Setup”
screen will appear. Tap on “Create the First Zone” to begin the process of setting
up your first zone.

425-353-7552 •plcmultipoint.com
207 LODESTAR+ Rev1
19
Gateway Commissioning & Start-up Guide
After tapping “Create the First Zone”, a new screen will launch to allow for a
custom zone name to be entered.
Enter the desired name for the zone that you are configuring.
For a zone that requires time-switch functions, you may select the check-box to the left
of “Time-Switched Zone?” For information on the behaviors of time-switched zones,
see the “Time-Switch Zone” section in this document.
For a zone that is intended to respond to Demand Response events, you may select
the check-box to the left of “Demand Response?”
This does not enable Demand Response but indicates if a zone should participate in
Demand Response events if or when Demand Response is enabled for the
gateway. Press “OK’, or, to return to the prior screen, press “Cancel”.
Note: For the examples in this document, the zone name “Example Room” will be used.
Scanning for Light Nodes
The next step is to begin scanning for all available light nodes that are in range and not yet associated with a given network.
Sensors will be paired to a zone during a later step.
Do not power sensors at this point in the process.
Ensure that lights for the targeted zone are in pairing mode (also referred to as discovery mode). All devices should
automatically enter pairing mode upon their initial power-up sequence, though some devices have timeout limitations for
the pairing process. Refer to the specific manufacturer instructions for the devices that you are attempting to discover
in the scanning process.
Tap on “Begin Scan” to start the discovery process.

Gateway Commissioning & Start-up Guide
During the scan, the screen will display the progress made.
As devices are found, the quantity of discovered lights will appear.
Once a device joins the gateway, its status will change to indicate that it has joined
the network. The end device and gateway share information and, once the process
is complete, will be displayed in the app.
If confident that all available devices have been found based on the device count
visible on the screen, you can proceed to the next step by pressing “Skip Ahead”.
