IMPORTANT!
Do not the gateway power-on, without antenna connected! The LoRa radio may be
damaged!
1) First run
Connect the antenna to the device with koaxial cable with impedance 50Ω, connector N-female. Link
the data cable (recommended cat5e FTP) with the included PoE adapter injector.
2) Setting up IP address
•After powering up, the Gateway tries to obtain an IP-address by using a DHCP discovery
procedure.
•If the network does not support DHCP, the Gatewaywill use a fallback address of 192.168.1.77.
•Connect in with SSH client (e.g. PUTTY) with default login (loratech/loratech).
•By editing the file /etc/dhcpcd.conf a customized IP configuration can be setup. A customized
setup may look like this:
# Custom static IP address for eth0.
interface eth0
static ip_address=10.0.0.100/24
static routers=10.0.0.1
static domain_name_servers=8.8.8.8
3) Setting up LoRa servers
The servers on which the data will be sent can be defined in file:
/opt/loratech-gateway/bin/local_conf.json
