Setup Instructions:
LoRa Gateway Setup:
The Gateway is supplied preconfigured, all that is required is to provide power and a internet connection. The gateway is configured to act as a DHCP client.
It is recommended to mount the gateway either on a tower or above the roof of the tallest building using the provided pole mount brackets, such that the gateway has line of site with the majority of the site.
The higher the Gateway is mounted the longer communication the range it will be able to support.
For initial testing or test where limited range is acceptable the gateway can be temporarily powered indoors or at ground level using a temporary setup. Gateway quick start and setup instructions can be found here.
Note the gateway internal antennas are directional, for omnidirectional antenna it is recommended to use 6dBi eternal antennas which is not supplied with the kit. for further detail please review the Gateway Quick start page and recommended external antennas
The placement of LoRaWAN® Gateways is critical for network coverage and performance. Gateways should be strategically positioned to maximize coverage and minimize signal obstructions. This often means placing them at high elevations.

BluFi UP00 Setup
The BluFI UP and supplied preconfigured to operate using the Ethernet connection, Connect the two external SMA antennas, one for WiFi and the other for BLE. Power the device either with PoE or the supplied DC power.
To use Wifi 2.4GHz or 5GHz instead of ethernet, BluFI template within Bluzone will need to be updated with your WiFi credentials, the BluFI will then need to be reprovisioned using the mobile app and the updated template.
NOTE: Reprovisioning of BluFI will reset the scan mode to default, if this occurs the BluFi will no longer be able to detect the Asset+. Please contact HID support to reconfigure the BluFI to third party scan mode.

.View file name PLT-07594 - A.0 HID BluFi UP00 Install Guide.pdf Create a new Location layer for the BluFIs and upload an indoor map if it is available
Repeat the above step to assign the location for each BluFI
The Demo kits supplied with two BluFIs can be used for nearest BluFI indoor positioning, this is where the indoor position of the Asset+ is determined to be the location of the nearest BluFI, therefore the BluFIs should be placed some distance away from each other potentially in different rooms. Note that it is possible to enable full indoor RTLS but more BluFIs may be required, please discuss this with your HID representative if it is required.
