IV. mLinux 5.2.7 Overview
New Features:
mLinux 5.2.7 versions include the following new features:
- Commission Mode [PP-7]:
- Due to Califronia IoT Laws implemented on January 1,2020, all new mLinux (version 5.2.7 and above)
devices now use commissioning mode as a reasonable secuity measure. With this mode, uses must
choose a desired login and password before using the device. - Upon inital power up or after activating factory default settings, the device initiates commissioning
mode. - Before using the device, you must register your first admin user via commissioning mode. Provide
your own unique username and password as admin credentials for this device. This process also
updates the U-Boot credentials with the same user-provided password - We reommend users have commissioning active on new devices. Customers who elect to install
custom images on their devices without commissioning should unterstand the security risk involved
and accept responsibility for those risks which could include non-compliance with any existing
standards or regulations.
- Due to Califronia IoT Laws implemented on January 1,2020, all new mLinux (version 5.2.7 and above)
- MTAC-LORA-2G4-3 Support [PP-156]
- Support for new MulitTech mCardTMMTAC-LORA-2G4-3

VI. Conduit® IoT Gateways
Conduit® family of products is the industry´s most configurable, manageable, and scalable cellular
communications gateways for industrial IoT applications. network engineers can remotely configure and optimize
their Conduit performance through DeviceHQ®, the world´s first IoT Applications Store and Device Management
platform. The award-winning COnduit series comes in three variants designed to address sepcific IoT gateway use
case:
- Conduit: Indoor Industrial gateway, ideal for environments that requrire metal casing for protection
against particles and debris and require an industrial temperature range. - Conduit IP67 Base Station: Outdoor IP67-rated gateway ideal suited for performing in harsh
environments such as rain, snow, extreme heat, and high winds - Conduit AP: Indoor acces point ideal for commercial environments (e.g., hotels, offices, retail facilities)
to deepen LoRa coverage in difficult to reach places where cell tower or rooftop deployments may not
perform as well.
