(50ёtermination)

INSTALLATION AND CONSTRAINTS
The product is designed to be placed vertically with the antenna upwards. Mounting the product
differently doesn’t ensure waterproofing or could decrease thermal performance.
In addition, the product needs the IP65 antenna to be well fixed to guarantee a global IP65 level.
To install it, start by opening the low side cap, remove the cable gland and pass the cable connector
through the hole.
Once the cable is connected into the Ethernet PoE connector, put back the cap and screw it until it
blocks. You can now insert the cable gland around the cable and push it into the hole, the flat side
inside the cap. The cable gland assures the sealing reason why it’s important to insert it correctly.
Connect the other side cable into the PoE injector (socket side) and the switching adapter into the
power socket of the PoE injector. Once the switching adapter powered, the LORIX OS starts and is
accessible after a minute.
PoE Ethernet port supports 10-48VDC through the injector. Alternatively, it can be powered through
the USB-C connector for service and initial configuration.
ACCESSING THE CONFIGURATION TERMINAL
The product is accessible either by SSH using its Ethernet port or by USB using a USB-C cable.
Regardless the way you access it, the login is admin and the password is lorix4u.
THROUGH SSH
The Wifx L1 is configured as a DHCP client by default. You need a DHCP server in your network to
attribute a correct IP address. Please consult our online documentation for static IP access
configuration (see our LAN CONFIGURATION section).
Power up your product and access it by the IP address given by your DHCP server or using mDNS
with the address gw<serial number without “-“ and lowercase>.local if your network allows it.
Example:
For the serial number 150-UX-YZ, the address is http://gw150uxyz.local or https://gw150uxyz.local
The serial number is located on the back-side sticker of the product.
THROUGH USB
Power up your product and connect a USB cable into the USB-C service connector which will act as
virtual COM port.
In Linux, a serial port program like Minicom can be used to access the newly created COM port
under /dev/ttyACMx.
In Windows 10, the driver will be automatically installed and a virtual COM port is created (can be
seen in the Device Manager). A program like Putty can be used to access the COM port named
COMx.
The connection parameters are 921600 bauds, 8 data bits, 1 stop, no parity and no flow control.
FACTORY RESET
A factory RESET will clear all the parameters to their initial value as freshly programmed from
factory. Parameters include but are not limited to network and LoRa configuration, password, etc.
This can be made easily by pressing the RESET button for more than 10sec, until the status LED
blinks. It will then reboot, restore the parameters by default and will be ready after the status LED
stops blinking quickly.

CONFIGURATION
Most of the system is protected against wrong manipulation allowing most of commands and files
only in root mode. Modifications can be made using explicitly the command sudo:
gw150uxyz:/$ sudo mkdir /tstdir
The password is then asked and kept in cache for 5min.
LAN CONFIGURATION
To change the network configuration, please consult our online documentation at
iot.wifx.net/docs/go/networking
CLOUD APPLICATIONS AND SERVICE
By default, the gateway is not configured with any specific packet forwarder. You can easily
configure that through the graphical web interface. For more info, you can consult our online
documentation at iot.wifx.net/docs/go/forwarding
