Installation
Installing a Gateway is easy and quick, and it can usually be completed within 30
minutes. This section provides the “best practice” guidelines to get the Gateway up and
running. If you have any questions or require advanced setup, please contact Cloudleaf
technical support at [e-mail].
Power
A Gateway needs to be powered by external source of power. There are few ways of
powering Gateway.
1. A 5V DC port requiring wall powered 5V 2A source. Gateway ships with a 5V DC
cable and a USB wall charger.
2. The micro USB port requiring a 5V 2A.
3. Power over Ethernet on the Ethernet port requiring 10W at a nominal 48V.
BLE
There are 4 BLE radios. Each radio can be configured to have transmit power ranging
from 0dBm.
Network
The Gateway needs access to the Internet to connect to the Cloudleaf’s cloud. It
establishes a secure connection to the cloud using SSL (port 443), so please make sure
this is supported in the LAN at the installation site. The Gateway can obtain network
connection via Cellular, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or USB. When connected to Ethernet, the
downstream port from the switch needs to provide direct Internet connectivity. When
using Wi-Fi, the Gateway can support WPA2 or WEP security. Use Cloudleaf’s mobile
app to provision the WIFI network’s SSID and password.
