Overview; Gateway Start-Up - RAKwireless RAK7249 Configuration Manual

Overview

1
This document describes in detail the functionality of the Web Management UI. The interface
builds on top of OpenWRT and all gateway products of the RAK72xx line share it.
The document gives instructions on configuring WAN, the LoRa Packet Forwarder and Gateway
MQTT Bridge. It explains how to do system-monitoring, update of the firmware and reset the
device. Last, but not least in provides information on using the built-in LoRa Server.
This guide functions as reference for several products with similar functionality. Thus, some
sections will apply to certain products and not others.

Gateway Start-up

2
Make sure all the antennas are connected before powering the Gateway.
For RAK7258 use the included adapter. RAK7249 comes with a PoE injector, which you
need to connect to the grid on one side and to the Gateway on the other (Ethernet cable not
included).
The Gateway comes configured in such a way that you can use either the Ethernet port or
the Wi-Fi in AP mode to connect to the Management platform.
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). Alternately, the IP Address
(192.168.230.1) is preconfigured as the one to use for access to the device provided you are
directly connected to it.
WiFi AP mode
By default the Gateway is configure to work in Access Point (AP) mode. It has the following
parameters:
Wi-Fi
SSID: RAK72XX_xxxx (no password is required to connect via Wi-Fi)
Web UI

by default. You should see the login window in Figure 1. Use the credentials below:
