First and foremost, screw on the antennas. All 5 of them should be installed, two (2) antennas on the bottom (Wi-
Fi
GPS) and three (3) on the top (LoRaLTE)

 WARNING

Do not power the device if any antenna port has been left open. In case you do not desire to use one or
more antenna features, make sure to terminate the port with a 50 Ohm load.

2. Power on the Gateway

It is recommended to use a CAT5 Cable to provide power to the Gateway. Attach one end to the provided PoE
injector
 and the other to the Ethernet Port (ETH) on the bottom of the casing.

Access the Gateway

Wi-Fi AP Mode

By default, the Gateway will work in Wi-Fi AP Mode which means that you can find an SSID named like
"RAK7240_XXXX" on your PC's Wi-Fi Network List. "XXXX" is the last two bytes of the Gateway MAC address. To
access the Web Management Platform, input the IP Address: 192.168.230.1 in your Web browser.
