NextCentury TR4 User guide

  • I've reviewed the user guide for the NextCentury Gateway upgrade, which details how to replace a 3rd party data collector with the new GW4 and NC-3PC. The document provides instructions on disconnecting old hardware, connecting the new gateway, and verifying its online status. I'm ready to answer any questions you might have about the installation process or features described in the manual.
  • What should I do before starting the installation?
    Where is the Data Collector typically located?
    How can I disconnect the old receivers?
    How do I know if the Gateway is online?

3rd Party Upgrade Guide
Instructions for Gateway Upgrade Installation
The following instructions will guide you through the
replacement of your 3rd Party Data Collector with a new
NextCentury Gateway.
1) Verify Gateway and 3rd Party Cable
Before you begin, verify that you have received the
NextCentury Gateway (GW4) and the 3rd Party Cable (NC-
3PC).
2) Locate 3rd Party Data Collector
The Data Collector is typically mounted to a wall in the
leasing office, telecom room, or other secure location on the
property. Often it is found near internet or networking
equipment:
Note: After completing the steps in this guide, the Data Collector
will no longer be needed and can be removed.
3) Disconnect Power
Unplug the Data Collector from power.
4) Locate Connected Receiver(s)
You may have 1 or 2 Receivers connected to your Data
Collector.
5) Disconnect Receiver(s)
Open the Receiver(s) and disconnect the old wires using a
small, flathead screwdriver.
Note: Ensure all wires are disconnected and do not reconnect
them. These wires are no longer used.

6) Connect Cable to Receiver(s)
Slide the replacement 3rd Party Cable onto the 4-pin
connector and secure the cable-tie with the adhesive back.
If you have 2 Receivers, connect both Receivers to the 3rd
Party Cable.
7) Mount Gateway
Remove the wall plate from the back of the NextCentury
Gateway.
Attach the wall plate to the wall with the adhesive back and
secure it with included hardware.
Mount the Gateway by sliding it down onto the wall plate.
8) Connect Gateway Cables
Connect the 3rd Party Cable and Cellular Antenna. Connect
Ethernet Cable if applicable.
Note: Do not connect power yet.
Place the Cellular Antenna as high as possible for the best signal.
