how to install Lantronix SGX 5150

• Plan your deployment. Identify the location for reliable Wi‑Fi coverage and wired connectivity. Verify network access, PoE availability, and safe mounting options, considering environmental conditions and cable routing for RS485, USB, and Ethernet connections.
• Power and network wiring. If using PoE, connect the SGX 5150 to a PoE‑enabled switch or injector. If not using PoE, provide a suitable power supply according to your EU region requirements and connect the Ethernet port to the LAN.
• Connect devices. Attach RS485 peripherals to the two RJ45 ports, and connect any USB devices or USB ports required for upstream management or local peripherals. Use the 10/100 Ethernet port for network connectivity to your enterprise network or gateway to the cloud.
• Configure secure access. Access the SGX 5150 management interface from a computer on the same network. Follow the setup wizard or manual configuration to enable wireless networks, set custom SSIDs, and configure security keys (WPA2/WPA3 as appropriate). Establish VPN or TLS settings if your enterprise policy requires them.
• Register, provision, and validate. Provision the gateway in your device management system, push the latest firmware OTA, and verify device reachability, RS485 comms, and data flow to your enterprise data sinks. Run a quick health check to confirm uptime, connectivity, and security policies are active.
