Gateway Commissioning & Start-up Guide
Introduction
This guide is meant to serve as a comprehensive reference for start-up, programming, and commissioning the L
Gateway, which runs the L Lighting Control System offered by PLC Multipoint.
L Gateway
The L Gateway is designed to be a reliable and secure solution for smart lighting control in small- and medium-sized
commercial exterior installations. It acts as an intelligent lighting control hub, processing data and programmed schedules to
optimize the environment while also enabling user control via the L Mobile App.
Features and Benefits
• Optimizes automation of commercial lighting control in exterior environments
• Simplifies lighting control by minimizing frills and maximizing the performance of critical functions
• Installs simply through mobile device commissioning using the L Mobile App, can come pre-commissioned
• Enables scalability for small- and medium-sized commercial projects:
• Up to six (6) Gateways can be managed via one mobile app account
• Up to 120 Lighting Controllers can be added and managed per L Gateway
• Up to 30 lighting zones each containing:
• Empowers local users to adjust lighting levels with the L Mobile App
• Permits off-site operation via remote connectivity with the L Mobile App
• Employs a sophisticated, lean embedded hardware design for low latency control responsiveness
• Utilizes a standards-based communication protocol over wireless mesh network topology
• Updates software automatically, and manages over-the-air software updates to connected devices
Software
The L Gateway comes with software pre-installed. During commissioning the Gateway will download applicable
software updates over the Internet and immediately install to the latest version. Uninterrupted Internet connectivity over time will
allow the L Gateway software to update its software automatically, ensuring that important updates are applied to
the device as required.
Internet connectivity is required during initial start-up for time synchronization, after which a consistent connection is recommended.
L System Overview
The L System is a powerful and intelligent IoT-enabled wireless control platform offered by PLC Multipoint, providing
reliable, automated, and secure lighting control that can be implemented and operated simply.
The L System supports a variety of lighting control devices and control modes. Contact PLC Multipoint to learn
more. However, in its simplest and standard implementation, PLC Multipoint has purposefully tailored the L System
for simple exterior lighting control in small- and mid-sized commercial installations.
The L System offered by PLC Multipoint supports control of exterior lights using Lighting Controllers, such as the
L Lighting Controllers.
One L Gateway can support up to 120 Lighting Controllers. One L System can support up to six (6)
L Gateways, thereby supporting 720 Lighting Controllers on a single L System network. The L
Mobile App can be used to reconfigure zones, schedules, and more at any time.
