Mounting the Gateway

Note: These are Advantech gateway instructions. For Dell instructions see Mounting the Gateway (Dell).

Caution: If the gateway is to be installed in a wet environment, depending on the location and environment, it must be installed in a panel box or enclosure with an Ingress Protection (IP) rating of IP54, IP65, or higher.

Caution: The maximum operating temperature of the gateway is 158° F (70° C). Do not exceed this maximum temperature while operating it inside an enclosure. Internal heating of its electronics, other electronics, and the lack of ventilation inside an enclosure can cause its operating temperature to be greater than the outside ambient temperature.

Mounting on a DIN-Rail



  1. Attach the DIN-rail mount to the back of the gateway with the three supplied screws as shown in the illustration.

    Note: A DIN-rail mount is included in all CMDR-ADVT-WIFI-BASE packages for DIN-rail mounting (a DIN rail is not included).

  2. Place the gateway on the DIN rail at an angle.

  3. Push the gateway down enough to compress the springs at the top of the DIN-rail mounting bracket.

  4. Push the bottom of the gateway towards the DIN-rail (to secure the lower clip of the bracket onto the DIN rail) and release it.

    Note: If the gateway needs to be detached from the DIN rail, push the gateway down (to compress the springs and release the bottom of the bracket) and lift the gateway off the DIN rail.

Mounting on a Wall or Panel



  1. Position the gateway on the wall or panel where it is to be mounted.

  2. Using the holes on the tabs protruding from the corners of the gateway, mark the positions to drill the four holes.

  3. Install four screws (not supplied) through the holes in each of the tabs as shown in the illustration and secure to the wall or panel. Screw holes on the tabs have a diameter of 0.177 inches (4.5 mm).
