2 Overview
The SOLUM Newton Gateway is a crucial centerpiece in the overall ESL System that electronically
displays price and other product information, which are traditionally printed or written on paper in places
like the supermarket.
In the ESL System, the Gateway receives product or price updates from the server and uploads the
new data onto the corresponding electronic shelf label tags (or ESL Tags), changing the displayed
product or price information.
An example of a typical Gateway and ESL tag setup can be seen in Figure 2.1.

mounting bracket holes (d)
to the holes drilled through the wall or
ceiling from
Step 1.
4) Route the Ethernet Cable (and the
SMPS Power Adapter, if needed)
through the two Ф10 holes made from
Step 2 .
5) Use
Screws (c) to completely secure
the mounting bracket to the wall or
ceiling.
6) Slide the
Gateway (e) into the
mounting bracket.

NOTE : This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications, However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Caution
This device complies with FCC radiation exposure limits for an uncontrolled
environment. Avoid operating this device at a distance less than 20cm from the user
