1. Set pi password - used to set/change the password of the Gateway.
2. Set up RAK Gateway LoRa Concentrator - used to configure the frequency, which the Gateway will operate

on, and the LoRaWAN Server which the Gateway will work with.

3. Restart packet -forwarder - used to restart the LoRa packet forwarded process.
4. Edit packet-forwarder config- used to open the global_conf.json file, in order to edit LoRaWAN parameters

manually.

5. Configure Wifi - used to configure the Wi-Fi settings in order to connect to a network.
6. Configure LAN - used to configure the Ethernet adapter settings.

📝

 NOTE:

A unique ID will be generated in for Gateway. This is also called Gateway EUI squared in red in the figure
above and is essential for registering the gateway with any LoRa Network Server (TTN, ChirpStack)

There is also another way to get your "Gateway ID", just enter the command below in the command line:

Figure 21: Gateway ID using the command line

Setting a new password for the Gateway

It is a good security practice to change the default password "raspberry" which is the same on all Raspberry Pi
devices.

1. First, choose "1 Set pi password" option referred on the image below.

sudo

 gateway-version 

 

sh
