This document is the parent guide of the RG1xx Quick Start Guide and provides a comprehensive guide on how to configure
the SentriusTM RG1xx gateways to suit the intended application. It covers all the SentriusTM RG1xx functionality, including
Ethernet, Wi-Fi and LoRa configurations. It also provides instructions for setting up the gateway on a LoRa network server.
Note: Step-by-step instruction, screen shots, and pictures are based on the SentriusTM RG191, but the same is applicable
for the SentriusTM RG186 and other AS915, AU923 variants; differences are highlighted in the notes.
Laird’s Sentrius™ RG1xx LoRa-Enabled Gateway is the ultimate in secure, scalable, robust
LoRa solutions for end-to-end control of your private LoRaWAN network. Leveraging Laird’s field-
proven and reliable 50 Series Wireless Bridge certified module, it also offers enterprise dual-band
Wi-Fi and wired Ethernet for complete design freedom. Based on the Semtech SX1301/SX1257
chipset designs, it offers a LoRa range up to ten miles and pre-loaded LoRa Packet Forwarder
software, perfect for highly scalable, flexible IoT networks. The Sentrius RG1xx Gateway works
with Laird’s SentriusTM RM1xx Series LoRa+BLE certified modules for simple out-of-the-box
integration and is compatible with third-party cloud and LoRa partners, as well as any LoRaWAN-
certified client devices.

To use the gateway, you must power up the gateway and access the web interface via the Ethernet port. To do this, follow
these steps:
1. Follow the label on the box and connect the three antennas. Refer to Antenna Configuration for additional information.
2. Connect the power supply (see #2 in Figure 3).
3. Connect the gateway to your router (#3 in Figure 3) using the Ethernet cable (#1 in Figure 3).
Alternatively use the Wi-Fi Quick Config mechanism. Refer to Wi-Fi Quick Configuration for additional information.
Your gateway is now connected and ready.
Figure 3: Connecting the gateway
To configure the antenna properly, do the following:
1. Attach the two shorter antennas to the 2.4/5.5 GHz (Wi-Fi) ports.
2. Attach the third and longer antenna to the 868 MHz/900 MHz (LoRa) port.

Note: This feature only works with firmware version 93.7.2.9 and newer. Please verify your Gateway firmware version
number and, if required, upgrade to a current version. Refer to Updating Gateway Firmware for additional information
regarding this upgrade.
The gateway includes a mode to allow you to configure without ethernet access, in the case that you wish to join a wireless
network.
Apply power to the gateway and allow to start, then perform the following:
1. Depress and hold the user button (see #2 in Figure 2) for seven seconds.
2. From a wirelessly enabled device perform a scan.
3. Connect to the access point rg1xx29378B, where 29378B are the last six digits of the Ethernet MAC address found on
the label on the bottom of the gateway (Figure 4).
The network is secured with WPA2 with a password that is the same as the SSID. We recommend that you change the
default password for security reasons. The password can be changed on the
Wi-Fi > Advanced web page.
Upon logout or client disassociation, Wi-Fi Quick Config shuts down and normal operation resumes.
To log into the gateway web interface, follow these steps:
1. Determine the last three bytes of your gateway’s Ethernet MAC address. This can be found on the label on the bottom
of the gateway; the last three bytes are highlighted (Figure 4).
Figure 4: Bottom label (Standard GW –Left, AS923 & AU915 Region Supported/Latest Version –Right)–last three bytes of
the Ethernet MAC address highlighted
2. Enter the URL into the web browser to access the web interface. For example, for the gateway used in this guide, the
URL is https://rg1xx29378B.local., where “29378B” are the last six digits of the Ethernet MAC address. In Wi-Fi quick
config mode, the gateway can also be accessed via the IP address at https://192.168.1.1
3. Accept the self-signed security certificate in the browser.
4. Click Advanced (Figure 5).

The LAN menu allows selections for configuration and status of the IPv4/IPv6 wired network. The current status of the IPv4
network is also displayed. To access this section, click LAN in the page menu.
The first page for configuring the Ethernet LAN connection is the IPv4 Configuration page. There are two basic modes of
operation –DHCP and Static. These are selected in the IP Address Acquisition Method drop-down box (Figure 10). The
gateway factory default setting is DHCP.
Figure 10: IPv4 Configuration page
▪DHCP –When in DHCP mode, all settings are provided by the DHCP server. All configuration settings (except IP
Address Acquisition Method) are greyed out. IP values provided by DHCP are displayed but cannot be changed.
▪Static –When the IP Address Acquisition Method is set to static, all IP settings are fixed and saved in the device. The
external Gateway IP address is optional and may be left blank. DNS Server IP addresses are also optional. Zero, one, or
two DNS servers may be specified.
Select the IPv6 configuration by clicking the IPv6 menu item in the side menu of the LAN view (Figure 10). The IPv6
configuration settings are shown below.
There are two fully supported modes for IPv6 addressing:
▪DHCP –In DHCP mode, all settings are provided through communication with an IPv6 server on the network.
▪Auto –In auto mode, you have the option of selecting the auto DHCP method (either stateless or SLAAC). As of June
2017, IPv6 static mode is only partially supported. Please see the software release notes for current information.

network information provided by the Wi-Fi module in the gateway. Depending on the settings of the network and the gateway,
not all settings may apply to the current mode of operation. This view is intended to support advanced users in troubleshooting
their network.

The side panel for the LoRa Gateway allows selections for configuration and status of the LoRa network card. The status of
the LoRa Network is also displayed (Figure 19).

The Gateway ID (also known as the gateway DevEUI), is used to uniquely identify the RG1xx gateway. It is required when
registering the gateway on a LoRa network server. The gateway EUI is also printed on the bottom label of the gateway, with
the label M2 EUI or DevEUI.

The SentriusTM RG1xx contains multiple preset configurations for connecting to a third-party server or as the basis for a private
network. These presets configure the forwarder and the channel plan.
To apply a preset configuration, follow these steps:
Click the LoRa tab in the main menu. The default page of the LoRa menu is the Presets page (also accessible in the
left side menu of the LoRa pages).
Select the preset from the drop down. Information about this preset is displayed in a panel to the right (Figure 21).
Click Apply to apply the preset configuration. After a few moments, a green confirmation appears on the bottom of the
page.
Note: After applying a preset, further changes can be made on the other screens. Some presets use a custom
forwarder and may not be modified.
Note: The LoRa Region Code is
displayed here. Be sure that
the gateway you are
operating matches the region
in which you are operating it.

Figure 21: Selecting a preset configuration
Semtech’s Basic Station replaces most other forwarders that were included in prior releases of the gateway. Basic station
uses secure web sockets to communicate with the LoRa Network Server. It also has the capability to connect to a CUPS
server to allow the device to configure the LNS connection remotely. All configuration settings beyond this are handled by the
Lora Network Server. This includes the channel plan. An appropriate channel plan must be selected in the LNS that
corresponds to the region of operation for your specific gateway.
The forwarder page allows configuration of the packet forwarder. The mode allows the user to change to different packet
forwarders.
The user must enter in a valid LNS server to allow for operation as a packet forwarder. The CUPS servers are optional but
should be kept blank if you do not want to communicate with the CUPS servers to provision the LNS certificates.
