Then: Scroll down to Part 2 for packing list, indicator meanings, mounting details, pinouts, and more.
Part 1: Quick Installation¶
Must-Read Summary¶
| Item | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Power supply | 12–48 V DC, terminals V+ / V− (or optional 12 V 2 A adapter); PWR red solid means powered on. |
| SIM / Micro SD | Must power off before installing or removing; no hot-swap. |
| Cellular / WLAN / GPS antennas | Tighten according to housing silkscreen; quantity varies by model (see datasheet Ordering Guide). |
| USB storage | Supports hot-swap; run sync and exit /mnt/usb/sda_<num> before disconnecting. |
Step 1: Check the Front and Upper Panels¶
IG902 comes in models with or without IO interfaces. Take a moment to identify the Ethernet ports, antenna connectors, SIM slots, terminal blocks, and indicator area on your unit.
Panel layout details and connector markings are in §2.2.
Step 2: Mount the Device on a DIN Rail or Wall¶
- Choose a mounting location with adequate space and ventilation.
- For DIN rail: hook the upper part of the rail clip onto the rail, then rotate the lower end upward and snap it into place.
- For wall mounting: attach the wall plate to the back of the device with screws, then fix the top screws to the wall and pull the device down to lock it in place.
DIN rail and wall mounting details, including dismounting steps, are in §2.4.
Step 3: Connect Power and Ethernet¶
- Connect the 7-pin industrial terminal: wire V+ and V− to your 12–48 V DC power source.
- Plug one end of the network cable into either GE0/1 or GE0/2 on the IG902.
RJ45 pin definitions are in §2.5.1; power/serial pinout is in §2.5.2.
Step 4: Power Off to Install SIM and Attach Antennas¶
Only perform this step if you are using cellular.
- Make sure the device is powered off — SIM cards do not support hot-swap.
- Remove the protective casing and insert the SIM card into the drawer-type SIM slot.
- Screw the required antennas into the SMA connectors according to the housing silkscreen (GPS / WLAN / AUX / ANT).
Detailed SIM slot location and antenna marking table are in §2.5.5.
Step 5: Power On and Check Indicators¶
Apply power. The PWR indicator should light up solid red, and the STATUS indicator should begin flashing green, indicating the device has booted successfully.
Full indicator tables and signal strength meanings are in §2.3.
Step 6: Log In via PC and Browser¶
- Set your PC’s IP address to the same subnet as the IG902 port you are using.
| Port | Default IP |
|---|---|
| GE0/1 | 192.168.1.1 |
| GE0/2 | 192.168.2.1 |
- Open a browser and visit the corresponding default IP (e.g.,
https://192.168.2.1if connected to GE0/2). - Enter the initial login credentials:
- Username:
adm - Password: Check the nameplate on the device panel for the initial password.
If you encounter certificate warnings, proceed to the login page. Detailed login steps and factory reset are in §2.7.
Post-Installation Checklist¶
- ☐ Device is firmly mounted (DIN rail or wall).
- ☐ Power and Ethernet cables are connected; if using cellular, SIM and antennas are in place.
- ☐ PWR is solid red and STATUS is flashing green.
- ☐ Browser opens the Web login page and login succeeds.
If the STATUS indicator does not flash green, verify the power supply voltage and polarity. If you need to restore factory settings, see §2.7.

2.4 Mechanical Installation¶
2.4.1 DIN Rail Mounting¶
The mounting plate for the DIN rail is attached to the rear panel of the IG902 as shown below:
Installation steps are as follows:
- Select the installation location of the equipment and ensure that there is enough space.
- Snap the upper part of the DIN rail holder onto the DIN rail, and rotate the device at the lower end of the device with a little force upwards as shown in arrow 2 to snap the DIN rail holder onto the DIN rail, and confirm that the device is reliably mounted onto the DIN rail, as shown in the figure below:
2.4.2 DIN Rail Dismounting¶
The method of dismounting the IG902:
- As shown by arrow 1 in the figure below, press down on the device to give clearance at the lower end of the device to disengage from the DIN rail.
- Turn the device in the direction of arrow 2 and move the lower end of the device outwards at the same time. Lift the device upwards after the lower end is detached from the DIN rail to remove the device from the DIN rail.
2.4.3 Wall Mounting and Dismounting¶
The general procedure is: first attach the mounting kit to the device with screws, then fix the device to the wall or cabinet with screws. To remove, reverse the sequence.
Wall Mounting¶
- Select the installation location of the equipment and ensure that there is enough space.
- Use a screwdriver to mount the wall mounting plate on the back of the device as shown below:
- Take out the screws (packed with the wall mounting plate), fix the screws in the mounting position with a screwdriver, and then pull down the device to make the device in a stable state, as shown in the following picture:

2.5.5 Cellular SIM and Antennas¶
SIM Card Slots¶
The IG902 is equipped with 2 drawer type SIM card slots for cellular communication, located on the upper panel. The SIM card must be installed when the device is powered off.
Installation procedure:
- Make sure that the device has been disconnected from the power supply before installation.
- Remove the protective casing before installation.
- Insert the SIM card into the drawer SIM slot.
Antenna Interfaces¶
IG902 has 4 antenna interfaces, and different models are equipped with different numbers of antennas. The antenna support for specific models can be found in the "Ordering Guide" section of the IG902 Series Edge Gateway datasheet.
| Marking | Name |
|---|---|
| GPS | GPS Antenna |
| WLAN | WLAN Antenna |
| AUX | AUX Antenna (Auxiliary Antenna) |
| ANT | ANT (Main Antenna) |
Note: The original manual listed the WLAN antenna marking as "WAN Antenna"; the correct name corresponding to the WLAN silkscreen is WLAN Antenna.
The product model shown below is IG902-B-LQA8, which supports two antenna interfaces, AUX and ANT. Screw the required antenna into the corresponding SMA antenna connector to complete the antenna installation, as shown in the following figure:
2.5.6 USB and Micro SD¶
USB 2.0¶
The IG902 provides a USB 2.0 Host interface, which is mainly used for expanding storage devices. The IG902 supports hot swap of USB storage devices.
If a USB storage device has more than one partition, IG902 can automatically mount the first 9 partitions, and the rest need to be mounted manually. IG902 will mount all the USB storage device partitions to the /mnt/usb path, and the naming format of the mount folder is sda_<num>. Where <num> can be a number from 1 to 9. You can see the exact mount situation by executing the df -h command in the Linux background via developer mode.
ATTENTION:
Before disconnecting the USB mass storage device, remember to enter the sync command to prevent data loss. When you disconnect the storage device, exit from the /mnt/usb/sda_<num> directory. If you remain in /mnt/usb/sda_<num>, the automatic uninstall process will fail. If this happens, type umount /mnt/usb/sda_<num> to manually unmount the device!
Micro SD¶
The IG902 has a Micro SD card. The SD card does not support hot plugging and needs to be operated when the power is off.
To install a Micro SD card, remove the protective case and insert the Micro SD card into the IG902's SD card slot:
If a micro SD storage device has more than one partition, IG902 can automatically mount the first 9 partitions, and the rest need to be mounted manually. IG902 will mount all the micro SD storage device partitions to the /mnt/sd path, and the naming format of the mount folder is mmcblk0p<num>. Where <num> can be a number from 1 to 9. You can see the exact mounting situation by executing the df -h command in the Linux background through developer mode.

Step 2: Network management and system management of IG902 via web. The IG902 supports WEB interface management based on IEOS, a set of network management and system management programmes developed by IEOS running on Linux system, which can provide web interface services. Take the network cable port plugged into GE0/2 as an example, the device login information is as follows:
- Login:
https://192.168.2.1 - Initial login account:
adm - Initial login password: Check the nameplate on the device panel for the initial password information
Factory Reset (RESET)¶
The reset button is located on the device (see §2.2). The procedure for restoring the factory device using hardware is as follows:
- Press and hold the RESET button for 10 s after powering up the device.
- When the ERR light turns red, release the RESET button.
- After a few seconds when the ERR light goes out, press and hold the RESET button again without releasing it.
- Release the RESET button when you see the ERR light blinking; wait for the ERR light to turn off, indicating that the factory settings have been restored successfully.
