1. Preface
RHF2S025 is an intelligent gateway with LoRaWAN ,LTE 4G(optional)and WiFi functions.It is
developed and produced by RisingHF. RHF2S025 has a small size, simple appearance and high
reliability, which could help customer to setup a LoRaWAN network quickly and with efficiency.
2. Connect to iotsquare server
The iotsquare server is a LPWAN network service cloud platform developed by RisingHF.
Iotsquare provides management services for massive LoRaWAN standard devices, gateways and
network communications in the global frequency band, and acts as a data transmission channel to
seamlessly interface with application servers.
2.1. Get Started
2.1.1Add Gateway
a) Please contact RisingHF technical docking personnel to obtain login account and password..
https://cloud.iotsquare.xyz
b) Login to iotsquare cloud server, enter ” Gateway->Add Gateway”,It is recommended that the
gateway be named: gateway model _A/B_ number, where A/B is convenient for customers to
distinguish between class a and class b gateways.

when you press the RESET button to restore the factory settings, the led blinks
quickly; when you press RESET button to restart the system, the led keeps on;
when the device is in upgrading, led blinks slowly.
WiFi led
The WiFi led is a tri-color led, which include green, red and orange. When the
WiFi signal is strong, the led is green; if the WiFi signal is poor, the led is
orange; in other cases it is red.
LoRa led
The LoRa led include green and red two instructions state. When the system is
fully activated, and the gateway start the packet forwarder successfully, it is
green; otherwise it is red.
USB led
When there is a U disk the led is always green. If the device is reading from U
disk, the led will blink.
RJ45 led
When the device connect to network via cable, the led will blink.
4G led(optional)
The 4G led has a slow flash (75ms bright 3000ms off), fast flashing (600ms
bright 600 off), ultra fast flashing (75ms bright 75ms off) three states.
Slow flashing: standby state;
Fast flashing: no SIM card; registered in the network; registration failed;
Ultra Flash: establish a data link;
Note: The System led, WiFi led, LoRa led and USB led will be on for 2 seconds during system
startup.
3.4. Key
RHF2S025 have two keys, respectively FCT key and RESET key.
Table 3- 2 Functions of the Keys
FCT key
Keep pressing the key for more than 1 second, to enter the WPS mode.
RESET key
Keep pressing the key for more than 1 second and less than 5 second, the
device will restart; Keep pressing the key for more than 5 seconds, the device
is restored to factory settings.
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS;originally, Wi-Fi Simple Config) is a network security standard to create a
secure wireless home network.Created by the Wi-Fi Alliance and introduced in 2006, the goal of the protocol is
to allow home users who know little of wireless security and may be intimidated by the available security
options to set up Wi-Fi Protected Access, as well as making it easy to add new devices to an existing network
without entering long passphrases. Prior to the standard, several competing solutions were developed by
different vendors to address the same need.
Note: After the factory settings are restored, the user will lose all configuration data.
3.5. User interface
RHF2S025 provides a total of two external interfaces for users to use, respectively RJ45 and USB
interface.
3.5.1. RJ45 interface
The RJ45 network port would be as WAN port in AP and PPPoE mode. Users could connect it to
network via wired cable.

AP mode: Connect the device to router with network cable and configure it to AP mode. The higher-
level gateway router can be in DHCP or Static IP allocation mode. For details, please refer to section
2.2 of this document.
PPPoE mode: The gateway could dial and connect to internet directly in PPPoE mode without a router.
Please refer to Section 2.2 of this document for more details.
The RJ45 network port would be as LAN port in AP/STA mode.
APSTA mode: Others station devices could connect to internet via this RJ45 port, please refer to
Section 2.2 of this document for more details.
