Step 1
:
Attach the antenna
First and foremost screw on the antenna to the SMA connector on the front
panel of the gateway.
Note: Do not power the device if the antenna port has been left open (not
connected to the antenna).
Step 2
: Power the Gateway on
It is recommended to use the 12V DC adapter that comes with the
gateway. Optionally you can use your own PoE cable and injector (the
gateway supports PoE).
Step 3
: Connecting to the Gateway
Use either the Ethernet Port or WiFi
.
In both modes you can access the Management UI via a web browser
pointing to the IP address of the Gateway (check your router DHCP list).
WiFi AP mode
By default the Gateway is configured to work in Access Point (AP) mode.
It has the following parameters:
SSID:
RAK7258_xxxx
, “xxxx” means the last 4 characters of MAC (no
password is required to connect via WiFi).
Access Web UI: Connect via a browser to the default IP (
192.168.230.1
) of
the gateway.

WAN port (DHCP IP) mode
Connect the Ethernet cable to the port marked “ETH” on POE injector and the
other end to your Router. Find the IP address of your gateway on the DHCP
list in your Router.
Access Web UI: Connect via a browser to the IP address of your gateway.
