By default, the gateway will work in Wi-Fi AP Mode which means that you can find an SSID named
RAK7268_XXXX on your PC's Wi-Fi Network List. XXXX is the last two bytes of the gateway's MAC address.

WAN Port (Ethernet)
Connect the Ethernet cable to the port marked ETH on the gateway and the other end to the PoE port of the PoE
injector. Connect the LAN port of the PoE injector to your PC.
The default IP is 169.254.X.X. The last two segments (X.X) are mapped from the last four bits of the MAC address
of your gateway.
For example, the last four bits of the MAC address are 0F:01, and the IP address is 169.254.15.1. Make sure to
manually set the address of your PC to one in the same network (for example 169.254.15.100). Use the same
credentials for the Web UI as for AP mode.
