IoT Infrastructure
The scalable wireless mesh network using our IoT infrastructure can manage over 18,000 sensors per building. Sensor data is collected and transferred via a gateway either to an Enlighted Manage in the Cloud (EMC) or an on-premise version. All data is transferred to Manage in the cloud for processing and reporting.
The key physical components are depicted below:
Deployment
The following is a simplified diagram showing the placement of Enlighted devices such as sensors, control units, gateways, ERC switches, and Manage on-prem servers in a multi-floor building.

Install Guide
Refer to the Gateway Installation Guide for installing the Gateway.
For outdoor installations the Gateway must be mounted indoors and remote the antenna. For more information refer to Gateway Antenna Selection Guidelines.
The Gateway product, GW-2-01 is not to be mounted outdoors. The Gateway device must be installed indoors. Please note the Gateway is rated for 0 - 50°C. A watertight enclosure does little to ensure the Gateway operates within the stated temperature requirement. If an application is required for outdoor sensors, the Gateway should be mounted on an interior wall and via cable connect to any outdoor omni-directional antenna with a gain of up to 11dBi or less can be used.
Gateway Firmware
Only Enlighted registered partners and customers have access to download and upgrade firmware images on a Gateway. Refer to the list of available Gateway Firmware Images.

FAQs
-
What is different with the D-Link PoE switch than the previous switches?
The D-Link PoE switch is larger than the previous switches and can support higher PoE wattage devices (PoE Budget of 130 Watts), such as People Counting sensors. -
Is there any Registration or special programming required to use this switch?
The D-Link switch is an Out-of-the-Box switch that does not require any Registration or manual setup. -
The switch has two SFP ports available. Can those ports be used?
Enlighted supports using the managed ports numbered 1 through 8 only. Ports 9 & 10 (SFP Ports) should not be used, and the plugs in those ports should not be removed. Daisey Chaining multiple switches through the managed ports is allowed. Daisey Chaining through the SFP ports is not supported by Enlighted. -
What are the options for mounting this switch?
The images show the Rack Mount and Wall Mount options using the mounting bracket that comes with the switch. Also, install rubber pads if the PoE switch is going to be placed on a Desk or flat surface.

English rev.02 | German rev.02 (will be available in February 2023)
Best Practices:
- PLCs are installed near the outlet or load they control, and they must be wired properly to the outlet.
- Place the PLC in the electrical closet or near an electrical panel for easy access and visibility.
- Plug Load Controller should be installed within the gateway's wireless range and close to any sensor of the group they belong to.
- PLCs need to hear from only one sensor and do not need to hear from all sensors in the group.
- The controlling sensor should belong to the same motion group to which the Gateway is assigned. Make sure the sensor is placed near the closet.
-
For floor outlets, the PLC must not be buried in the floor.
