Chapter 1 Product Introduction
1.1 Overview
UG63 is a robust 8-channel indoor LoRaWAN®gateway. Adopting SX1302 LoRa chip and
high-performance CPU, UG63 supports connection with more than 2000 nodes. UG63 has
line of sight up to 15 km and can cover about 2 km in urbanized environment, which is
ideally suited to smart office, parking lots, campuses, hotels, exhibition centers and many
other indoor areas. It also applies to provide coverage for indoor blind spots.
UG63 has integrated with mainstream network servers (such as TTI, ChirpStack, etc.) and
Milesight IoT Cloud. Besides, it also supports a built-in network server for easy deployment.

Chapter 2 Access to Web GUI
This chapter explains how to access to Web GUI of the UG63.
Username: admin
Password: password
Connect PC to UG63 ETH port directly or through PoE injector to access the web GUI of
gateway. The following steps are based on Windows 10 system for your reference.
1. Go to “Control Panel” →“Network and Internet” →“Network and Sharing Center”, then
click “Ethernet” (May have different names).
2. Go to “Properties” →“Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” and select “Use the
following IP address”, then assign a static IP manually within the same subnet of the
gateway.
3. Open a Web browser on your PC (Chrome is recommended) and type in the IP address
192.168.23.150 to access the web GUI.
4. Enter the username and password, click “Login”.

10
If you enter the username or password incorrectly more than 5 times, the login page
will be locked for 10 minutes.
5. After logging in the web GUI, you can view system information and perform
configuration of the gateway. It’s suggested that you change the password for the sake of
security.
