Step 1: Attach the antennas
First and foremost screw on the antennas. All 5 of them should be installed
(WiFi, LoRa, LTE on the top, and GPS on the bottom).
Note: Do not power the device if the antenna port has been left open (not
connected to the antenna).
Step 2: Power on the Gateway
It is recommended to use a CAT5 cable to provide power to the Gateway.
Attach one end to the PoE injector and the other to the Ethernet port on the
bottom of the casing.
Step 3: Connecting to the Gateway
Use either the Ethernet Port or WiFi.
In both modes you can access the Management UI via a web browser
pointing to the IP address of the Gateway (check your router DHCP list).
WiFi AP mode
By default the Gateway is configured to work in Access Point (AP) mode.
It has the following parameters:
SSID: RAK7249_xxxx, “xxxx” means the last 4 characters of MAC (no
password is required to connect via WiFi).
Access Web UI: Connect via a browser to the default IP (192.168.230.1) of
the gateway.
UI user: root
UI password: root
WAN port (DHCP IP) mode
Connect the Ethernet cable to the port marked “ETH” on POE injector and the
other end to your Router. Find the IP address of your gateway on the DHCP
list in your Router.
Access Web UI: Connect via a browser to the IP address of your gateway.
UI user: root
UI password: root
First Time Power Up

Step 4: Connecting the Gateway to TTN
The Gateway EUI can be found via the Overview page in the Web UI.
Go to your TTN console (you need to register an account first) and register your
new gateway using the link below:
https://console.thethingsnetwork.org/gateways/register
Make sure to select the “I’m using the legacy packet forwarder” option, before
entering the Gateway EUI.
Select your Frequency Plan depending on your location. This should populate the
Router field. Optionally you can choose to enter the Gateway coordinates in the
map’s upper right corner and select if the gateway is indoor or outdoor via the
Antenna placement field below the map.
Upon successful registration you should see the following screen:
Your Gateway should now be registered with TTN and you should be able to
forward LoRa packets.
Note: By Default the Gateway is set to connect to TTN (using it as its LoRa
Network server). For detailed information about advanced configuration
options refer to the Configuration Guide via the link:
