    First Time Power Up

    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.

    UI user & password : root

    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.
    UI user & password : root

    Step 4: Connecting the Gateway to TTN

    The Gateway EUI can be found either on the sticker on the casing or via the
    Overview page in the Web UI.

    Go to your TTN console (you need to register an account first) and register your new
    gateway using the link below:

    https://console.thethingsnetwork.org/gateways/register

    Make sure to select the “I’m using the legacy packet forwarder” option, before
    entering the Gateway EUI.

    Select your Frequency Plan depending on your location. This should populate the
    Router field. Optionally you can choose to enter the Gateway coordinates in the
    map’s upper right corner and select if the gateway is indoor or outdoor via the
    Antenna placement field below the map.

    Upon successful registration you should see the following screen:

    Your Gateway should now be registered with TTN and you should be able to forward
    LoRa packets.

    Note: By Default the Gateway is set to connect to TTN (using it as its LoRa
    Network server). For detailed information about advanced configuration
    options refer to the Configuration Guide via the link:
