REV 1.6 SOLUM Proprietary 4/14 SOLUM Newton Gateway User Manual 1 Preface 1.1 About This Guide This documentation contains detailed information on SOLUM Newton Gateway. Information includes specifications, drawings, installation guides, among other items. 1.2 Audience This manual is intended for any user (store managers, associates, installers, etc.) properly authorized to operate and install company equipment. 1.3 Abbreviations and Acronyms Terminology/Abbreviation Description ESL GW RF IT PoE SMPS TBD Electronic Shelf Label Gateway Radio Frequency Information Technology Power over Ethernet Switch-Mode Power Supply To Be Decided REV 1.6 SOLUM Proprietary 5/14 SOLUM Newton Gateway User Manual 2 Overview The SOLUM Newton Gateway is a crucial centerpiece in the overall ESL System that electronically displays price and other product information, which are traditionally printed or written on paper in places like the supermarket. In the ESL System, the Gateway receives product or price updates from the server and uploads the new data onto the corresponding electronic shelf label tags (or ESL Tags), changing the displayed product or price information. An example of a typical Gateway and ESL tag setup can be seen in Figure 2.1. Figure 2.1.
