About Cisco LoRaWAN Interface Modules, page 7 Hardware Models, page 7 Hardware Features, page 8 About Cisco LoRaWAN Interface Modules Long Range Wide Area Network (LoRaWAN) is a Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) specification intended for wireless battery operated things in regional, national or global network. LoRaWAN network architecture is typically laid out in a star-of-stars topology in which gateways are transparent bridges relaying messages between end-devices and a central network server in the back end. Gateways are connected to the network server via standard IP connections while end-devices use single-hop wireless communication to one or many gateways. A typical LoRa end-to-end infrastructure comprises the following four layers:
LoRa EndpointThe sensor to equip Semtech LoRa RF module inside and run LoRaWAN protocol to communicate to backend platform. LoRa GatewayThe concentrator tunneling the LoRaWAN MAC frames between an endpoint and a Network Server platform. LoRa Network ServerThe central component that handles the LoRaWAN MAC traffic, performing endpoint and gateway management, and LoRaWAN MAC layer security and other functions. Application ServerData security and application enablement. The Cisco LoRaWAN Interface Module is connected to the Cisco 800 Series Industrial Integrated Services Router via an Ethernet cable with PoE+, to perform as a carrier-grade LoRa gateway. Hardware Models Table 1 shows the model numbers (or part numbers) and descriptions for the Cisco LoRaWAN Interface Modules.

For proper installation and grounding of the antenna, please refer to national and local codes (for example, U.S.:NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, Article 810, Canada: Canadian Electrical Code, Section 54). Statement 1052 Caution: Before connecting or disconnecting a power cord, you must remove power from the power cord using a suitable service disconnect. For safety and to achieve a good installation, please read and follow these safety precautions:
Select your installation site with safety, as well as performance in mind. Remember: electric power lines and phone lines look alike. For safety, assume that any overhead line can kill. Call your electric power company. Tell them your plans, and ask them to come look at your proposed installation. Plan your installation carefully and completely before you begin. Successful raising of a mast or tower is largely a matter of coordination. Each person should be assigned to a specific task and should know what to do and when to do it. One person should be in charge of the operation to issue instructions and watch for signs of trouble. When installing the access point and antennas, remember:
Do not use a metal ladder. Do not work on a wet or windy day. Do dress properlyshoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, long sleeved shirt or jacket. Use a rope to lift the access point. If the assembly starts to drop, get away from it and let it fall. If any part of the antenna system should come in contact with a power line, do not touch it or try to remove it yourself. Call your local power company. They will remove it safely. If an accident should occur, call for qualified emergency help immediately. Installation Guidelines Because the Cisco LoRaWAN Interface Module is a radio device, it is susceptible to common causes of interference that can reduce throughput and range. Follow these basic guidelines to ensure the best possible performance:
Perform a site survey before beginning the installation. Install the device in an area where structures, trees, or hills do not obstruct radio signals to and from the device. 17 Installing the Cisco LoRaWAN Interface Module Mounting the Device The Console-Reset port and the Reset button are under a hex-shaped sealed plug. Inspect the seal of the plug and properly tighten it at the time of installation, and also every time the plug is removed and replaced. Tighten the plug to 15 lbf-in. If you do not tighten the plug properly, it will not meet IP67 criteria, and may lead to water leaking into the unit. Figure 1 Connecting Console Port and USB port If the DC power port, LAN port, or the PoE-In port is not in use, the ports covering plug must be tightened to 12.5 in-lbs (1.41 N-m) torque. Otherwise, it may lead to water leaking into the Cisco LoRaWAN Interface Module. To calculate path loss and to determine how far apart to install Cisco LoRaWAN Interface Modules, consult an RF planning expert. Mounting the Device This section provides instructions for installing your access points. Personnel installing the access point must understand wireless Cisco LoRaWAN Interface Modules and bridging techniques and grounding methods.

The following topics are described in this section:
Supported Antennas, page 22 Antenna Connector Locations, page 24 Connecting the LoRa Antennas, page 24 Connecting the GPS Antenna, page 26 Installing a Lightning Arrestor, page 26 Supported Antennas The following antennas are supported by the Cisco LoRaWAN Interface Module:
22 Installing the Cisco LoRaWAN Interface Module Installing Antennas LoRa Antennas Antenna (ANT-LPWA-DB-O-N=) Lightning arrestor (ACC-LA-H-NM-NF=) Cable (AIR-CAB010LL-N=) GPS Antenna Antenna and cable (ANT-GPS-OUT-TNC=) Lightning arrestor (ACC-LA-G-TM-TF=) Safety Precautions when Installing Antennas 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, as they may cause serious injury or death. For proper installation and grounding of the antenna, please refer to national and local codes (e.g. U.S.: NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, Article 810, Canada: Canadian Electrical Code, Section 54). Statement 280 1. Before you install an antenna, contact your Cisco account representative to explain which mounting method to use for the size and type of antenna that you are about to install. 2. Select your installation site with safety, as well as performance, in mind. Remember that electric power lines and phone lines look alike. For your safety, assume that any overhead line can kill you. 3. Contact your electric power company. Tell them your plans and ask them to come look at your proposed installation. 4. Plan your installation carefully and completely before you begin. Each person involved in an installation should be assigned to a specific task and should know what to do and when to do it. One person should be in charge of the operation to issue instructions and watch for signs of trouble. 5. When installing your antenna, follow these guidelines:
Do not use a metal ladder. Do not work on a wet or windy day. Do dress properlywear shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, and a long-sleeved shirt or jacket. 6. If the assembly starts to drop, move away from it and let it fall. Because the antenna, mast, cable, and metal guy wires are all excellent conductors of electrical current, even the slightest touch of any of these parts to a power line completes an electrical path through the antenna and the installer. 7. If any part of the antenna system should come in contact with a power line, do not touch it or try to remove it yourself. Call your local power company to have it removed safely. 8. If an accident should occur with the power lines, call for qualified emergency help immediately. Note: The antenna port caps must be removed before using, but the unused ports should remain capped to provide an IP67 seal. All port or antenna connection must be terminated by an IP67 rated cap or cable. 23 Installing the Cisco LoRaWAN Interface Module Installing Antennas Antenna Connector Locations 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 4 on page 24. The LoRa antennas should be connected to the chassis via an appropriate low-loss RF coax cable, for the Cisco LoRaWAN Interface Module to work properly. 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: Refer to the data sheet for the antenna specifications. Note: The antenna port caps must be removed before using, but the unused ports should remain capped and hand tighted (not too much) to provide an IP67 seal. All port or antenna connection must be terminated by an IP67 rated cap or cable. Figure 4 Antenna Connectors 1 TNC connector for GPS antenna 2 N-Type connectors for LoRa antennas Connecting the LoRa Antennas The LoRa antennas should be connected to the chassis via an appropriate low-loss RF coax cable, for the Cisco LoRaWAN Interface Module to work properly. 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. The antennas must be installed at half a wavelength apart from each other. 24 Installing the Cisco LoRaWAN Interface Module Installing Antennas Figure 5 on page 25 shows the installation of a LoRa antenna.

Installing a Lightning Arrestor Overvoltage transients can be created through lightning static discharges, switch processes, direct contact with power lines, or through earth currents. The Cisco lightning arrestor limits the amplitude and duration of disturbing interference voltages and improves the over voltage resistance of in-line equipment, systems, and components. A lightning arrestor installed according to these mounting instructions balances the voltage potential, thus preventing inductive interference to parallel signal lines within the protected system. 26 Installing the Cisco LoRaWAN Interface Module Installing Antennas Installation Considerations Cisco recommends that you bulkhead mount the lightning arrestor so it can be installed as a wall-feed through on the wall of the protected space. The importance of obtaining a good ground and bonding connection cannot be overstressed. Consider these points when grounding the lightning arrestor:
Connect the lightning arrestor components directly to the grounding point. The contact points of the ground connection must be clean and free of dust and moisture. Tighten threaded contacts to the torque specified by the manufacturer. Installation Notes This lightning arrestor is designed to be installed between the antenna cable that is attached to an outdoor antenna and the Cisco Aironet wireless device. You can install the lightning arrestor either indoors or outdoors. It can be connected directly to a wireless device having an external N connector. It can also be mounted inline or as a feed-through. Feed-through installations require 5/8 in. (16 mm) hole to accommodate the lightning arrestor. This lightning arrestor is part of a lightning arrestor kit. The kit contains a lightning arrestor and a grounding lug. When you install the lightning arrestor, follow the regulations or best practices applicable to lightning protection installation in your local area. Installing the Lightning Arrestor Outdoors If you install the lightning arrestor outdoors, use the supplied ground lug and a #6 stranded copper wire to connect it to a good earth ground, such as a ground rod. The connection should be as short as possible. 27 Installing the Cisco LoRaWAN Interface Module Grounding the Device Figure 7 Lightning Arrestor Details 1 Nut 2 Lockwasher 3 Ground lug Cable for the Lightning Arrestor
#6 stranded copper wire 4 5 Unprotected side (to antenna) 6 Protected side (to wireless device) Coaxial cable loses efficiency as the frequency increases, resulting in signal loss. The cable should be kept as short as possible because cable length also determines the amount of signal loss (the longer the run, the greater the loss). Cisco recommends a high-quality, low-loss cable for use with the lightning arrestor. Grounding the Device The Cisco LoRaWAN Interface Module must be grounded before connecting power. Warning: This equipment must be externally grounded using a customer-supplied ground wire before power is applied. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available. Statement 366 Warning: Installation of the equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes. Statement 1074 In all outdoor installations and when powering the access point with AC power, you must follow these instructions to properly ground the case:
1. If using insulated 6-AWG copper ground wire, strip the insulation as required for the grounding lug. 28 Installing the Cisco LoRaWAN Interface Module Powering the Cisco LoRaWAN Interface Module 2. Use the appropriate crimping tool to crimp the bare 6-AWG copper ground wire to the supplied grounding lug. Note: The grounding lug and hardware used must comply with local and national electrical codes. 3. Connect the grounding lug to the device grounding screw holes using the supplied two Phillips head screws (M4 x10 mm) with lock washers. Tighten the grounding screw to 22 to 24 in-lbs (2.49 to 2.71 N-m). 4. If necessary, strip the other end of the ground wire and connect it to a reliable earth ground, such as a grounding rod or an appropriate grounding point on a metal pole that is grounded (see Figure 3 on page 22). Powering the Cisco LoRaWAN Interface Module Warning: Installation of the equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes. Statement 1074 Warning: This equipment must be externally grounded using a customer-supplied ground wire before power is applied.
