MULTICONNECT® CONDUITTM IP67 BASE STATION
MultiConnect®ConduitTM Base Station IP67 Getting Started Guide for Versions 1.5 and 2.1 5
Chapter 1 – MultiConnect® ConduitTM IP67 Base
Station
The MultiConnect Conduit IP67 Base Station (MTCDTIP) is a LoRa IoT gateway device designed for outdoor
deployments.
Installation
An installation guide ships with the MCDTIP and is also available at www.multitech.com andwww.multitech.net.
Advanced Information

V2.1 Features
V2.1 refers to the Semtech reference design; the previous reference design was V1.5.
Models MTCDTIP xxx266x-xxx and xxx-267x-xxx are V1.5.
Models MTCDTIP xxx270x-xxx and xxx-275x-xxx are V2.1.
The V2.1 hardware design differs from the previous V1.5 design in the following ways:
The custom, single purpose Semtech RF front-end ASIC was replaced by a popular wideband general
purpose single-chip RF front-end from Analog Devices – the AD9361. This change transitioned
Semtech's LoRa offering from a purely custom chipset to an SDR (Software-Defined Radio) architecture.
The Semtech SX1301 baseband processor chips were retained in the design, but now provide much
more limited functionality, essentially becoming hardware accelerator blocks whose purpose is to
detect and synchronize the preamble (fixed symbol sequence present at the start of every LoRa packet)
for incoming packets on multiple frequency slots with multiple spreading factors. This necessary
functionality (essentially multiple concurrent FFTs) was more economical in the original ASICs than in an
FPGA or a set of general-purpose DSPs.
Following a popular pattern for SDR architectures, a large FPGA (a lower-end, but still relatively large
Altera / Intel part) is at the center of the system, with all the other system components, including the
Analog Devices RF front-end, the Semtech SX1301 ASICs, and a set of TI OMAP-L138 ARM/DSP SoC chips
connected to it.
The DSP core of the TI SoCs are used for packet symbol detection, decoding, etc.
At system startup, the FPGA must first be configured from its associated SPI Flash memory device. The
same SPI flash device also contains code which will run on the TI DSPs. After the FPGA is configured, a
state machine within the FPGA reads this code from the Flash memory, loads it into the DSP memory
space, and starts the DSP.
The V2.1 design includes provisions to connect a 48-Channel Extension Board, which increases the
number of simultaneous receive channels from 16 to the US maximum of 64. Note that the current
LoRa V2.1 reference design allows only simultaneous transmit channels, provided by the two SX1301s
on the main V2.1 board only.
MULTICONNECT® CONDUITTM IP67 BASE STATION
6 MultiConnect®ConduitTM Base Station IP67 Getting Started Guide for Versions 1.5 and 2.1
The V2.1 design includes a GPS receiver module to provide timing synchronization between
geographically-dispersed gateways. The high-accuracy one-pulse-per-second (PPS) output from this
receiver module maintains an accurate internal 250 MHz (4 ns period) timing counter within the FPGA.
The GPS receiver and the associated high-speed counter were added specifically to enable a server-
layer application to estimate the physical location of a node based on the Time Difference-of-Arrival
(TDOA) of the same packet transmitted by the node at multiple (at least three) gateways. This TDOA
geolocation scheme works successfully, but accuracy is limited by topography and the number of
gateways providing timing information. Multi-path (reflected) signals constitute the primary challenge
for this scheme since they arrive at different times based on the different path lengths.
For this initial V2.1 release:
V2.1 hardware supports geolocation.
To get the fine timestamp for geolocation, you will need the AES keys. These can be obtained
from Semtech, which has licensed the geolocation resolver software.
Multitech supplies the chip ID that can be used by the network service providers for obtaining
the AES keys.
The packet format of the LoRa V2.1 is not backward-compatible with the LoRa V1.5 packet format. Therefore,
packet processing at the server layer (which sends/receive packets to/from LoRa gateways) fails for V2.1 packets if
the code has not been upgraded to handle them. Our MultiTech server code has not been upgraded yet, and
therefore cannot be used to process LoRa V2.1 packets. Therefore, if the customer does not have additional
server-layer support, the MultiTech LoRa V2.1 gateway can only be used as a packet forwarder. Also, unlike the
previous LoRa V1.5 packet format (and packet processing source code), this information is not publicly available.
Only LoRa operators or service providers having NDA agreements with Semtech currently have the information
required for processing V2.1 packets.

Chapter 2 – Getting Started with mLinux Models
Accessing the Terminal Interface
After connecting Ethernet and power, access the terminal interface:
1. On your PC, configure a static IP address for the network interface that is connected to the device within
the following range:
192.168.2.2 - 192.168.2.254
2. Open an SSH connection and log in.
Default IP address: (DHCP is disabled)
192.168.2.1
Default credentials for mLinux version 3: username:
root
and password:
root
Default credentials for mLinux version 4: username:
mtadm
and password:
root
Note: The above credentials do NOT have root privileges. As a result, many commands may not work unless
you use sudo (for super user permissions).
To use sudo, either execute :
sudo [command]
or start the root shell:
sudo -s
Then enter the mtadm password. The prompt changes to mtcapmtcdtmtcdtip:/home/mtadm#
For tips on using sudo, go to http://www.multitech.net/developer/software/mlinux/using-mlinux/log-in-
as-an-admin-post-production/.
The following commands require sudo:
ln -sf /usr/share ...
hwclock
ifdown
ifup
mlinux-set-apn
pppd
killall
/etc/init.d/lora-packet-forwarder
Setting Time Zone, Time, and Date
To set the time zone, date, and time:
1. Create a symbolic link from the zone info file for your location to /etc/localtime:
GETTING STARTED WITH MLINUX MODELS
8 MultiConnect®ConduitTM Base Station IP67 Getting Started Guide for Versions 1.5 and 2.1
ln -fs /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Zurich /etc/localtime
2. Update the date and time to the current time:
date "2016-12-11 14:58:01"
3. Update the hardware clock:
hwclock -u -w
Setting the Custom IP Address, Network Information, and Ethernet
Internet Access
Network configuration is defined in /etc/network/interfaces.
1. To change the static IP, change the address and netmask fields in /etc/network/interfaces, (use vi or
nano).
2. To apply changes, either reboot the device or issue:
ifdown eth0 && ifup eth0
Note: You will lose your SSH session by doing this.
3. To enable DHCP with default settings, edit /etc/udhcpd.conf (using vi or nano) by entering, starting, and
ending IP addresses for DHCP range.
mlinux-dhcpd start
4. Issue this command to start DHCP:
mlinux-dhcpd start
Note: To stop or restart, issue:
mlinux-dhcpd stop
or
mlinux-dhcpd restart
5. To configure Internet access via the Ethernet port, modify /etc/network/interfaces as follows:
a. Add gateway 192.168.2.254 beneath the netmask line, where 192.168.2.254 is the IP address of
your network router.
b. To apply changes, either reboot the device or issue:
ifdown eth0 && ifup eth0
Note: You will lose your SSH session by doing this.
c. Test Internet access with ping 8.8.8.8.
Configuring the Cellular Connection
To establish a cellular data link, you must configure and initiate a PPP connection. Sample options, files, and chat
scripts are provided in the ppp peers directory /etc/ppp/peers. Anything specific to the network or connection
should be placed in one of these files. Global options should be placed in /etc/ppp/options.
1. Set up a cellular data connection.
GETTING STARTED WITH MLINUX MODELS
MultiConnect®ConduitTM Base Station IP67 Getting Started Guide for Versions 1.5 and 2.1 9
Note: With a Sprint SIM, your device uses Sprint's OTA activation to register the SIM to their network. Sprint
automatically sets the correct APN values automatically. For more information, go to Sprint Device Activation.
Set "APN" to the APN for your cellular provider. (Not necessary for
Verizon SIMs)
# mlinux-set-apn APN
# Before establishing PPP connection, modify the file, /etc/ppp/options
sudo -s
echo -e '+ipv6\nipv6cp-use-ipaddr' >>/etc/ppp/options
# Dial the connection (using /etc/ppp/peers/xxx# config)
# pppd call xxx#
(where xxx# is your radio, LSP3 for Sprint or LEU1 for EuropeLSP3 for
SprintLEU1 for Europe)
2. Use the Linux route utility to verify ppp0 is up.

GETTING STARTED WITH AEP MODELS
12 MultiConnect®ConduitTM Base Station IP67 Getting Started Guide for Versions 1.5 and 2.1
Chapter 3 – Getting Started with AEP Models
Logging in to AEP
After connecting and powering up your device, log in to AEP:
1. Open an Internet browser. In the browser’s address field, enter the device's default address for the
device:
http://192.168.2.1
The login page appears.
2. Type the default user name: admin.
3. Type the default password: admin.
4. Click Login to start the First Time Setup Wizard.
NOTE: For AEP firmware, the DHCP client is enabled by default. If no address is acquired within 20
seconds, then the device switches to static IP address 192.168.2.1 for 20 seconds. If no access to the Web
UI Initial Setup Wizard is made, then the device tries the DHCP client again for 20 seconds and alternates
back and forth like this until either an address is acquired through DHCP or the Web UI is accessed.
Setting the Password
Note: For security reasons, we recommend changing the default password.
To set a new password:
1. Click Next on the Welcome panel.
2. In the Current Password field, enter the default password, admin.
3. In the New Password field, enter a new password.
4. Re-type the new password in the Confirm Password field.
5. Click Next.
Setting Date and Time
To set date and time:
1. Type today’s Date in the format shown or use the calendar (data picker).
2. Type the current Time (24-hour format).
3. Select the Time Zone in which the Conduit operates.
4. Click Next.
Configuring PPP
Note: For models with cellular radios only.
To configure the Cellular PPP:
1. To use PPP, check Enable. When enabled, your device functions as a cellular device.
2. If using two cellular antennas, check Diversity. Do not check this option if using one antenna.
GETTING STARTED WITH AEP MODELS
MultiConnect®ConduitTM Base Station IP67 Getting Started Guide for Versions 1.5 and 2.1 13
3. To enable dial-on-demand, check Dial-on-Demand. This tells the device to only make a PPP connection
when there is outgoing IP traffic, and it brings the PPP connection down after a given idle timeout.
4. The default Idle timeout is 180 seconds. If desired, you can enter a different value.
5. Type the APN (Access Point Name). The APN is assigned by your wireless service provider.
6. Leave the APN, the radio gets the APN from the carrier when the device registers.
Note: When the LSP3 radio registers, the APN is usually set on dial context #2, but it can be set on context #3.
To use the correct context, you need to know which context Sprint set the APN on. By default, the LSP3 script
uses context #2.
7. Click Next.
Setting Up PPP Authentication
To set up cellular PPP authentication:
1. Select an authentication protocol Type used to negotiate with the remote peer: pap, chap, or pap-chap.
The default is None.
2. Type the Username for the remote peer to use for authentication. Optional. Username is limited to 60
characters.
3. Type the Password for the remote peer to use for authentication. Optional. Password is limited to 60
characters.
4. Click Next to exit the wizard.
Entering IP Address and Network Information
Set the IP address and network information for the Ethernet port:
Note: Leave the interface static unless using a DHCP server on the network that the device is connecting to. If
you select DHCP client, you need to know which address is assigned to the Conduit. For information on DHCP
settings, refer to DHCP in the AEP Help.
1. Type the device's IP Address
2. Enter the network Mask.
3. Enter the Gateway address (optional and not displayed when Cellular is enabled).
4. Enter the Primary DNS server address (optional and not displayed when Cellular is enabled).
5. Enter the Secondary DNS server address (optional and not displayed when Cellular is enabled).
6. Click Next.
Configuring Access
When Cellular is disabled, the default settings enable HTTPRedirect to HTTPs via LAN.

Interference with Pacemakers and Other Medical Devices
Potential interference
Radio frequency energy (RF) from cellular devices can interact with some electronic devices. This is
electromagnetic interference (EMI). The FDA helped develop a detailed test method to measure EMI of implanted
cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators from cellular devices. This test method is part of the Association for the
Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) standard. This standard allows manufacturers to ensure that
cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators are safe from cellular device EMI.
The FDA continues to monitor cellular devices for interactions with other medical devices. If harmful interference
occurs, the FDA will assess the interference and work to resolve the problem.
Precautions for pacemaker wearers
If EMI occurs, it could affect a pacemaker in one of three ways:
Stop the pacemaker from delivering the stimulating pulses that regulate the heart's rhythm.
Cause the pacemaker to deliver the pulses irregularly.
Cause the pacemaker to ignore the heart's own rhythm and deliver pulses at a fixed rate.
Based on current research, cellular devices do not pose a significant health problem for most pacemaker wearers.
However, people with pacemakers may want to take simple precautions to be sure that their device doesn't cause
a problem.
Keep the device on the opposite side of the body from the pacemaker to add extra distance between the
pacemaker and the device.
Avoid placing a turned-on device next to the pacemaker (for example, don’t carry the device in a shirt or
jacket pocket directly over the pacemaker).

WEEE Directive
The WEEE Directive places an obligation on EU-based manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and importers to take-
back electronics products at the end of their useful life. A sister directive, ROHS (Restriction of Hazardous
Substances) complements the WEEE Directive by banning the presence of specific hazardous substances in the
products at the design phase. The WEEE Directive covers all MultiTech products imported into the EU as of August
13, 2005. EU-based manufacturers, distributors, retailers and importers are obliged to finance the costs of recovery
from municipal collection points, reuse, and recycling of specified percentages per the WEEE requirements.
Instructions for Disposal of WEEE by Users in the European Union
The symbol shown below is on the product or on its packaging, which indicates that this product must not be
disposed of with other waste. Instead, it is the user's responsibility to dispose of their waste equipment by handing
it over to a designated collection point for the recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment. The separate
collection and recycling of your waste equipment at the time of disposal will help to conserve natural resources
and ensure that it is recycled in a manner that protects human health and the environment. For more information
about where you can drop off your waste equipment for recycling, please contact your local city office, your
household waste disposal service or where you purchased the product.

Multi-Tech Systems, Inc.
Certificate of Compliance
2011/65/EU
Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. confirms that its embedded products comply with the chemical concentration limitations
set forth in the directive 2011/65/EU of the European Parliament (Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous
Substances in electrical and electronic equipment - RoHS).
These MultiTech products do not contain the following banned chemicals1:
Lead, [Pb] < 1000 PPM
Mercury, [Hg] < 1000 PPM
ENVIRONMENTAL NOTICES
34 MultiConnect®ConduitTM Base Station IP67 Getting Started Guide for Versions 1.5 and 2.1
Hexavalent Chromium, [Cr+6] < 1000 PPM
Cadmium, [Cd] < 100 PPM
Polybrominated Biphenyl, [PBB] < 1000 PPM
Polybrominated Diphenyl Ether, [PBDE] < 1000 PPM
Environmental considerations:
Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) =1
Maximum Soldering temperature = 260C (in SMT reflow oven)
1Lead usage in some components is exempted by the following RoHS annex, therefore higher lead concentration
would be found in some modules (>1000 PPM);
- Resistors containing lead in a glass or ceramic matrix compound.
REACH Statement
Registration of Substances
After careful review of the legislation and specifically the definition of an “article” as defined in EC Regulation
1907/2006, Title II, Chapter 1, Article 7.1(a)(b), it is our current view that Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. products would
be considered as “articles.” In light of the definition in § 7.1(b) which requires registration of an article only if it
contains a regulated substance that “is intended to be released under normal or reasonably foreseeable conditions
of use,” our analysis is that Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. products constitute nonregisterable articles for their intended
and anticipated use.
Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC)
Per the candidate list of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) published October 28, 2008 we have reviewed
these substances and certify the Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. products are compliant per the EU “REACH”
requirements of less than 0.1% (w/w) for each substance. If new SVHC candidates are published by the European
Chemicals Agency, and relevant substances have been confirmed to be greater than 0.1% (w/w), Multi-Tech
Systems, Inc. will provide updated compliance status.
Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. also declares it has been duly diligent in ensuring that the products supplied are compliant
through a formalized process which includes collection and validation of materials declarations and selective
materials analysis where appropriate. This data is controlled as part of a formal quality system and will be made
available upon request.
