Attention
1) Gateway should be installed in the place with at least 20 degrees of depression angle
to building edges, and with at least 50cm clearance when installed at the side of a building
wall.
2) LoRa Omni directional antenna should be as far as possible from the other antennas,
and should be lower than the highest elevated point of the building.
3）The antenna should be installed vertically to the ground to achieve good effect.
4）Do the protection of lightning protection for gateway equipment, access network
cable of gateway, gateway antennas(surge arrester/lightning protector), and make sure
the antenna with the feeder to be connected to ground.
5）Using low power consumption RF coaxial cable of the feeder, as short as possible.
6）The feeder connector of antennas should be waterproof. If the feeder connector has
been flooded for a long time, the contact resistance of the connector is increased, the line
loss of the signal line is increased, and the antenna performance will be decreased.
7）If using 4G, you should choose a place with better LTE signal; The monthly traffic
plan should be more than 6G (depending on the number of nodes).
8）When the gateway is power on, the sequence of connection is: Firstly, connect one
end of network cable to gateway, and then the other end of the network cable to POE power
source or the end of POE exchanger, otherwise, the POE power source or POE exchanger
port will be damaged.
9）If using the PC side browser, it is strongly recommended that you use Google or
Firefox.
10) We suggest connecting POE splitter with backup power supply to prevent damage
of the log stored in TF card after power cut. If there is big data stored in TF card, it’ll take
long time to restore the log of the TF card after restarting the gateway, and the gateway can
work normally after you finished restoring the log of TF card.
11)The product requires professional installation and the certified antennas should be
used.

Product introduction
1. Product definition
Winext Technology have launched the IoT base station gateway GW5000Abased on low
power LoRaWAN protocol, which can provide low power, mobile and safe local
bidirectional communication service for IoT devices. LoRaWAN can simplify the
interconnection of device, user and network, as well as provide standard.
GW5000A is designed to be used in long range star network architectures; it can achieve
message delivery between front-end device and central network server. GW5000A is
connected to the network server via standard IP connections while front-end devices use
single-hop wireless communication to one or many GW5000A gateways.
The communication between front-end devices and GW5000A is established by
different channels and data rate, which can be negotiated in advance. In order to save the
battery life, GW5000A can maximize the power saving by implementing ADR (Adaptive
Date Rate). With our IoT technology and our base station gateway GW5000A, users can
then have their own IoT control system to achieve customized smart services, which will be
widely applied in the fields of smart parking, smart fire-fighting, energy management, asset
tracking, smart grid, industry 4.0, smart agriculture and ect in the future.

3.Basic information
1）LAN IP: 192.168.3.1, DHCP server is enabled by default;
2）Web page default user: root; login password: WelcomeTo2018;
3）WAN open DHCP client by default, need to connect with router;
4）4G/LTE: Europe LTE, US 4G, support automatic dialing by default;
5）Wifi: 2.4GHz, AP mode, max transmit power:18dBm; WiFi hotspot：GW5000_+the end
6 characters of gateway ID; Password：gateway2018better
6）WAN and 4G network, priority in using the WAN traffic by default, 4G as a backup. When
WAN is not working, switch to 4G; Gateway needs to be able to get normal access to the internet,
network delay(ping lora.smartkit.io)less than 50ms, if using Ethernet, network speed should be
above 2M; If using 4G card, the monthly data access plan should be above 6G(it depends on the
nodes quantity)
7) The default file format of TFcard: FAT32, when the rest memory less than 2G, the oldest
log files will be cleared.
8）Support foreign server, e.g. TTN;
9）Support reporting status regularly（WAN, LTE, LoRa, WiFi, TF card）
10）Support reporting LoRa configuration parameter regularly;
11）Support remote reboot;
12）Support remote administrator login and maintenance;
13）Support button or WEB operation to restore factory setting;
14）For security reasons, root login SSH2 and serial port have been disabled, and the account
of login SSH2 and serial port is not open to the public.
4. Restore factory setting
If you’ve modified some parameters of gateway, andthe gateway won't work properly, there
are two methods to restore factory settings.
1) 1st method: press the reset button on the main board for more than 8 seconds(short press
will restart the system) , the reset button is as below:

Splitter（exchanger）cable is connected to the WAN port, as below:
Remark：
The router that the gateway is connected must be able to connect to Internet, and you
should start the DHCP function for the router, and then the gateway automatically obtains
the IP. If you do not start DHCP, or because of network security management, you need
to assign a fixed IP to the gateway, then manually modify the assigned IP address in the
