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 GW5000A based 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.

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

power supply be stable, and wait for 3~5 minutes until it finishes.

After finishing flash firmware, there is no need to enter the Web page, the gateway will

enable by default.

FAQ
1. Gateway will not work after a power failure

When there is a power failure, the log on the TF card is damaged, after restart gateway,

it’ll do self-check to automatically repair log, if TF card data quantity is large, it’ll take a

long time to repair, in the process of repairing, the gateway is not working.

Solution: enter the configuration interface of gateway (192.168.3.1) , gateway login,

select “Network/LoRa GW/Status”, click “CLEAR THE LOG OF TF CARD”, as below:

After clear the log of TF card, pls restart the gateway, then it’ll work again.

34

2. GPS unable to locating

Enter 192.168.3.1 interface:

1） Check whether there is positioning information or not, if yes, it means GPS
is normal
2）Check whether there is time synchronization or not, as below:

If GPS is normal, the time synchronization should be less than 5 seconds, the above

picture shows “(age: 0 sec), that means the GPS is normal.

3）If GPS has no location information, you can re-plug the GPS antenna, or

repositioning in an open area, or update GPS antenna.

35
 Shenzhen Winext Technology Co., Ltd.

3.Nodes cannot access to the network

1）Check whether the gateway works normally or not.

2）Check whether there is power supply for nodes

3) Nodes power on

4.LoRa signal and data rate

1）Received Signal Strength Indicator(RSSI)

125KHZband width, rate:300～5.4K bit/s, as below:

Note: the limit value of SF12 is -142. Generally speaking, if signal below -124 dBm, the

packet drop rate(PDR) will be high, normal value should be during -120dBm~ -40dBm.

2）Signal Noise Ratio(SNR)

Note: The limit value of SF12 is -20db, the limit value of SF10 is -15db. The closer it’s from

the limit value, the worse the signal.

The above data is based on the basis of the gateway test, if you use a node test, the data is

different.
