1. Introduction
Bobcat Miner 300 is a Bobcat IoT hotspot device, which is compatible with Helium

LongFi, which combines the leading wireless LongFi protocol and helium blockchain

technology.

Bobcat Miner 300 is also compatible with all LongFi devices.

Bobcat Miner 300 operates with ultra-low power consumption (5W) and its signal

range, can cover more than 10 miles, and provide connections to thousands of LongFi

end nodes detected within its range.

2. Network Systems
The hotspot of Bobcat Miner 300 integrates LongFi packet forwarde and Helium

Miner. The hotspot does not send the received LongFi terminal data packet to the

LongFi Network Server first, but forwards it to Helium Miner, and then forwards it

to the Console (Network Server) via the Miner, and then pushes it to the application

platform via the API interface.

6. Use guide
6.1 Download the mobile App

Android phone users log in to the Google Play store, and iPhone phone users log in

to the App Store to find Helium to download and install.

6.2 Configure network connection

6.2.1 Equipment assembly

Open the package, take out the device, power adapter and antenna, insert the SMA male connector

of the antenna feeder into the LongFi antenna port of the device and tighten it.

6.2.2 Set up distribution network

Open the Helium App in your phone, register to enter, and select "Set up Hotspot".

Then select Bobcat Miner 300 equipment to enter, you can read the network configuration

instructions first, or select "Skip" to operate step by step according to the prompts on the page.

Insert the AC plug end of the power adapter into the 220VAC mains socket, and the other end of

the DC12V output plug into the power jack of the device, as shown in the figure below. After

plugging in the power, the LED of the gateway turns red and then yellow.
 1) Insert a pin into the BT BUTTON hole and press the button for 5 seconds, and then

watch the LED turn blue to start Scan. After scanning the device, click to enter the next

step;

2) If you use wifi connection, select the wifi router around Scan, select the name of the wifi

router you need to access, and output the password.

3) If you use Ethernet connection, select "Use Ethernet Instead" at the bottom of the page

and insert the network cable. Please note that the Ethernet connection currently only

supports automatic IP acquisition.

At this step, the distribution network is completed, LED changes from blue to green.

9. Installation guide
Bobcat IoT hotspot devices support three conventional installation methods:

 Desktop type: Place the gateway and power supply on a horizontal plane and adjust the

antenna direction, which is suitable for temporary demonstration and debugging.

 Wall-attached type: Hang the gateway on the wall through expansion pipes and screws for

fixed installation, and adjust the antenna direction flexibly.

Precautions:
※ The product installation process must be handled with care, and there should be no violent

collisions and drops;

※ Try to place it as close to the window or balcony as possible, so that it can receive GPS signals,

and the LongFi antenna has a wide coverage;

※ The installation location of the product is on a flat wall with less dust and dryness and

ventilation, and a location with rain, water seepage, and humidity cannot be selected.
FCC Caution.
