1 Product Description 1.1 Overview The Dish Macro Gateway is an outdoor hardened LoRaWAN IoT gateway that supports the full range of LoRaWAN uplink channels while supporting the DISH custom downlink channels in the 722-728MHz band. The Gateway supports one external LoRa antenna, an internal GPS antenna, two power options including direct DC input power or Power over Ethernet (PoE), and two backhaul options including copper Ethernet or 3G/4G wireless.

Copper Ethernet 3G/4G Modem SIM card access port DC Power 2 pin CPC Protective Earth Ground LoRa RF Antenna Figure 2: Dish Macro Gateway Bulkhead Layout All Kona Gateway module interconnect is located on the bottom facing bulkhead. The RF connectors are water proof while un-mated but all other connectors must be terminated with mating connectors or covered with the supplied protective cap when not in use in order to be water tight. Connector types and their mating connectors are listed in Table 2.

2 Installation 2.1 Safety Precautions • The Dish Macro Gateway must be installed in a restricted access location (such that touching of the Gateway by non-service persons is not likely). • The Dish Macro Gateway may become hot to the touch during normal operation at elevated ambient temperatures. • The Dish Macro Gateway has no internal field serviceable parts. The Gateway module must only be opened by an approved TEKTELIC service center.
• Although the Dish Macro Gateway can be powered through either the direct DC input or the power over Ethernet (PoE) input, simultaneous application of power to both inputs may result in unexpected operation and shall be avoided. • The Dish Macro Gateway power source must meet SELV requirements. • Always ensure the 3G/4G Modem SIM card access port is properly sealed after installing a SIM card. 2.
Mounting screw location Mounting screw location Mounting screw location Mounting screw location Figure 3: Dish Macro Gateway Mounting Bracket Attachment Screw Locations The mounting bracket is a single part that bolts to the back surface of the Gateway using supplied hardware (four M6x1.0 - 14 mm bolts with flat and star lock washers) as illustrated in Figure 4. The Gateway module must be oriented with the connector bulkhead facing down, towards earth.
Mounting Bracket Figure 4: Dish Macro Gateway Module with Mounting Bracket Ensure that the structure to which the Gateway is being mounted is secure and able to support a dead load of at least 136 kg (300 lbs). The area below must be free of any obstructions to cable ingress. The Dish Macro Gateway wall mounting procedure is as follows: 1. Bolt the wall mounting bracket to the Gateway module using the supplied bolts and washers. 2. Install 2 site supplied M8 bolts into the wall at 139.7 mm (5.
1. Bolt the wall mounting bracket to the Gateway module using the supplied bolts and washers. 2. While temporarily supporting the Gateway with bracket, install the two site supplied pipe clamps, one through each of the upper and lower slotted clamp mounting points. 2.5 Ground Cable Installation The Dish Macro Gateway is considered Permanently Connected Equipment and requires a permanently connected Protective Earth Ground (PEG) conductor. The Protective Earth Ground connection is made through a 1/4 x 0.
Chassis Ground Connection Figure 5: Chassis Ground Connection 2.6 Direct DC Power Cable Installation The Dish Macro Gateway direct DC feed terminates at a dedicated two pin circular plastic connector (CPC) on the bulkhead. The direct DC power input is isolated from chassis (earth) with the exception of the primary surge suppressors. One lead of the DC power feed is normally earth referenced external to the Dish Macro Gateway (usually at the power source by convention).

The RF cable attaches to the N-Type connector located on the bulkhead of the Gateway. Torque the connector 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.
3 Commissioning and Monitoring 3.1 Required Equipment The following equipment is required for commissioning and monitoring the Dish Macro Gateway. 1. A laptop running Windows XP/Vista/7. 2. A Cat5 or better Ethernet cable. 3.2 Procedure Once the DC power and GPS and LoRa RF antenna connections are in place the Dish Macro Gateway may be commissioned. 1. Connect an Ethernet cable between the Host PC and the bulkhead copper Ethernet connector (RJ45).
