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.
