Installing the Cisco LoRaWAN Interface Module
Powering the Cisco LoRaWAN Interface Module
4. Ensure that the antennas are connected and that a ground is attached to the Cisco LoRaWAN Interface Module
before you apply power to the Cisco LoRaWAN Interface Module.
5. Connect a shielded outdoor-rated Ethernet (CAT5 or better) cable between the power injector and the PoE-in
connector of the Cisco LoRaWAN Interface Module (see Figure 8 on page 31).
6. Connect the Ethernet cable to the Cisco LoRaWAN Interface Module PoE-In port (see Connecting an Ethernet Cable
to the Cisco LoRaWAN Interface Module).
Connecting an Ethernet Cable to the Cisco LoRaWAN Interface Module
You need to supply these tools and materials:
 Shielded outdoor-rated Ethernet (CAT5 or better) cable with 4.3 to 6.5 mm (0.17 to 0.25 inch) diameter (for IP67
and strength relief)
 RJ-45 connector and installation tool
 Adjustable Wrench or 28 mm box wrench
 Large Phillips or Flat Blade screwdriver
To connect the shielded Ethernet cable to the Cisco LoRaWAN Interface Module, follow these steps:
1. Disconnect power to the power injector, and ensure all power sources to the Cisco LoRaWAN Interface Module are
turned off.
Warning: This unit might have more than one power supply connection. All connections must be removed to
de-energize the unit. Statement 1028
2. Ensure a 6 AWG ground wire is connected to the Cisco LoRaWAN Interface Module (see Grounding the Device).
3. Use a large Phillips or Flat Blade screw driver to remove the Ethernet connector plug from the Cisco LoRaWAN
Interface Module. Do not discard plug and rubber seal unless you are certain that the port will not have to be
re-plugged (see Figure 8 on page 31 for the location).
