Hardware Features
Antenna Port Locations
Figure 3 on page 10 shows the antenna port locations for the Cisco LoRaWAN Interface Module. The ports used depend
on the optional antennas ordered.

Radio Operation
Warning: In order to comply with radio frequency (RF) exposure limits, the antennas should be placed no less than
23 cm (9”) from your body or nearby persons. Statement 339
Warning: Do not locate the antenna near overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it
can come into contact with such circuits. When installing the antenna, take extreme care not to come into contact
with such circuits, because they may cause serious injury or death. For proper installation and grounding of the
antenna, please refer to national and local codes (for example, U.S.: NFPA 70, National Electric Code, Article 180,
Canada: Canadian Electrical Code, Section 54). Statement 1052
Warning: Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment.
Statement 1030
The Cisco LoRaWAN Interface Module is equipped with two N-type radio frequency (RF) connectors (antenna ports 1
and 2) on the top of the unit for LoRa antennas, and one TNC connector on the left of the unit for the GPS antenna, as
shown in Figure 3 on page 10. If the antennas are remotely located, an appropriate low-loss RF coax cable should be
used. The LoRa antennas should be installed closely to the Cisco LoRaWAN Interface Module to reduce the signal
strength loss on the feed cable as much as possible.
Note: The antenna port caps must be removed before using, but the unused ports should remain capped to provide an
IP67 seal.
Multiple Power Sources
The Cisco LoRaWAN Interface Module supports these power sources:
1 TNC connector for GPS antenna 2 N-Type connectors for LoRa antennas
