RF Cable Installation
The Gateway installation will require connection to a GPS antenna, one or two LoRa RF
antennas, and optionally a 3G/4G modem antenna. The RF cables attach to the N-Type
connectors on the bottom of the Kona Macro Gateway. Torque the connectors to 1.7 to 2.3 Nm
(15 to 20 in·lbs). The N-Type connector interface to a cable is not water proof and must be
taped to be used outdoors. TEKTELIC recommends taping with Scotch Wireless
Weatherproofing Kit, WK-101. Follow the taping procedures outlined by the supplier of this
tape system.
Note that the 3G/4G modem antenna port is not surge protected and, accordingly, the antenna
must be located with the Gateway module or, if remotely located, an external surge suppressor
must be provisioned.
2.8
Copper Ethernet Cable Installation
The Kona Macro Gateway Ethernet port may be used on a temporary basis for commissioning
and maintenance or may be permanently connected for backhaul. When the port is not in use,
the weatherproof protective cap must be installed. When the port is permanently connector for
backhaul, a proper water-tight mating connector specified in Table 2 must be used.
The Ethernet cable must have minimum 24 AWG conductors and shall be rated for outdoor
application according to local and national electrical codes.
