B. Put SIM card onto the slot, and then insert the slot back into the hole.
2.8 Cellular Antenna Installation
A. Rotate the antenna into the Antenna Connector.
The external cellular antenna should be installed vertically always on a site with a good
cellular signal.
Note: UG87-LW supports dual antennas with “Main” and “AUX” connectors. “Main”
interface is for data receiving and transmission. “AUX” interface is for enhancing signal
strength, which cannot be used separately.

2.9 Mounting the Gateway
The gateway can be placed on a desktop or mounted to a wall or a DIN rail.
2.9.1 Wall Mounting (Measured in mm)
Use 2 pcs of M3×6 flat head Phillips screws to fix the wall mounting kit to the gateway, and
then use 2 pcs of M3 drywall screws to mount the gateway associated with the wall
mounting kit on the wall.
Recommended torque for mounting is 1.0 N. m, and the maximum allowed is 1.2
N.m.
2.9.2 DIN Rail Mounting (Measured in mm)
Use 2 pcs of M3×6 flat head Phillips screws to fix the DIN rail to the gateway, and then hang
the DIN rail on the mounting bracket. It is necessary to choose a standard bracket.
Recommended torque for mounting is 1.0 N. m, and the maximum allowed is 1.2
N.m.

The gateway must be grounded when deployed. According to operating environment,
the ground wire should be connected with grounding stud of gateway.
2.12 Examine
1. Double check antenna connection.
2. Double check if SIM card is correctly inserted and working perfectly.
3. Power on the UG87-LW industrial LoRaWAN gateway and check indicators status.
(1) If Status LED blinks slowly, the system is running properly.
(2) If SIM1 or SIM2 indicator is static green, the gateway is connected to network already.
