1 About This Guide
This document provides a comprehensive guide on how to configure the MKGW2-LW gateways to
suit the intended application in detail. It mainly introduces the MKGW2-LW functionality, including
Ethernet, Wi-Fi, LoRa configurations, firmware upgrade, system backup and log download etc. It
also provides instructions for setting up the gateway on a LoRa network server.
2 Product Introduction
2.1 Product Description
MOKO 8 channels gateway MKGW2 is based on LoRaWAN protocol, which is embedded with
Semtech’s high performance multi-channel transceiver SX1301/SX1257 and MTK platform. It is for
indoor use and easy for installation.
MKGW2-LW includes 2 modes: AP and STA as router, offers 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi and wired Ethernet for
connecting internet. The gateway built-in OpenWRT operating system, users can flexibly configure
network parameters and LoRaWAN protocol parameters through the Web management platform.
The MKGW2-LW Gateway can be connected to LoRaWAN terminals in various application nodes,

2. Using your PC or phone connect the SSID of the gateway. The default SSID format is
"MKGW2-LW-xxxx”such as " MKGW2-LW-91D8 ", “91D8”is the last two bytes of the gateway MAC
address. verify the password (Default: Moko4321) and connect to the gateway.
Figure9 Gateway SSID
3. After successful connection, the WEB management platform can be accessed through the IP
address 192.168.22.1 of the gateway LAN interface.
Log on using the following default credentials,
Username: Admin
Password: admin
It is recommended that the default password is changed for security reasons. For details on
changing the password, please refer to Chapter 5.2 WiFi settings.

Noted:It is recommended to use the latest version of the mainstream browsers such as IE11,
Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc.
6 Internet setting
The gateway can access the Internet through Ethernet(ETH) or WiFi, and can access the network by
Automatic IP or Static IP.
Static IP requires WAN IP, subnet mask, gateway IP, DNS, etc.
After the network configuration is completed, wait for the gateway to access the network. You can
check the network status in gateway STATUS web page and also can check the network LED
indicator.
No network: Solid yellow
ETH connection: Solid blue
WIFI connection: Solid green
6.1 Ethernet to Internet
Use a network cable to connect to the PoE port of the gateway and connect the gateway to a
Network Switch that is connected to the Internet.

10 Server Access
MKGW2-LW LoRaWAN gateway only support Semtech UDP Packet Forwarder to access the LoRa
server now.
You need to fill in the LoRa Server Address,Server Up Port,Server Down Port,and select the
Frequency,Channel and HeartBeat.
After the LoRa server connect successfully , you can check the server access status in gateway
STATUS web page and also can check the LoRa server communication LED indicator that should be
solid green.
