All Rights Reserved **Sentrius RG1xx** Quick Start Guide ## 1 OVERVIEW This quick start guide describes how to configure the Sentrius gateway to forward LoRaWAN data to a cloud platform. The steps listed in this guide use the RG191 (US version) gateway and an RM191 (US version) module. The steps for using an RG186 and RM186 are similar. **Note** : This guide uses the The Things Network (TTN) to show how to register your Gateway and visualize the incoming data on a Network server. If you are working with Stream IOT-X or LORIOT.io server, a similar guide will be available through their page to help you configure your gateway. For more detailed information on how to use all the features of the Sentrius gateway, please see the Sentrius RG1xx User Manual, available from documentation tab at: www.lairdtech.com/products/rg1xx-lora-gateway. ## 2 ABOUT THE GATEWAY ## **2.1 Product Overview** The Sentrius™ RG1xx LoRa-Enabled Gateway from Laird is the ultimate in secure, scalable, robust LoRa solutions for end-to-end control of your private LoRaWAN network. Leveraging Laird’s field-proven and reliable 50 Series “Wireless Bridge” certified module, it also offers enterprise dual-band Wi-Fi, BT v4.0 (BLE and Classic) and wired Ethernet for complete design freedom. Based on the Semtech SX1301/SX1257 chipset designs, it offers a LoRa range up to 10 miles and pre-loaded LoRa Packet Forwarder software, perfect for highly scalable, flexible IoT networks. The Sentrius RG1xx Gateway works with Laird’s **Sentrius RM1xx Series** LoRa+BLE certified modules for simple out-of-the-box integration and is compatible with 3rd party Cloud and LoRa partners, as well as any LoRaWAN certified client devices.

Ethernet connector - 3 CONNECT THE HARDWARE ## **3.1 Connect the Gateway** To use the gateway, you must power up the gateway and access the web interface via the Ethernet port. To do this, complete the following steps: 1. Follow the label on the box and connect the three antennas. Refer to _Antenna Configuration_ for additional information. 2. Connect the power supply (see #2 in Figure 3). 3. Connect the gateway to your router (#3 in Figure 3) using the Ethernet cable (#1 in Figure 3). **==> picture [220 x 59] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**<br> 3<br>yaa 2 ee 1<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br> _**Figure 3: Connecting the gateway**_ Americas: +1-800-492-2320 Europe: +44-1628-858-940 Hong Kong: +852 2923 0610 Embedded Wireless Solutions Support Center: 5 http://ews-support.lairdtech.com www.lairdtech.com/ramp © Copyright 2017 Laird. All Rights Reserved **Sentrius RG1xx** Quick Start Guide ## **3.1.1 Antenna Configuration** To configure the antenna properly, complete the following steps: 1. Attach the two shorter antennas to the 2.4/5.5 GHz (Wi-Fi) ports. 2. Attach the third and longer antenna to the 868 MHz/900 MHz (LoRa) port. ## 4 LOG INTO THE GATEWAY To log into the gateway web interface, follow these steps: 1. Determine the last three bytes of your gateway’s Ethernet MAC address. This can be found on the label on the bottom of the gateway; the last three bytes are highlighted (Figure 4). _**Figure 4: Bottom label – last three bytes of the Ethernet MAC address highlighted**_ 2. Enter the applicable URL into the web browser to access the web interface. For example, for the gateway used in this guide, the URL is https://rg1xx29378B. Replace the highlighted characters with the characters of the last three bytes of your Ethernet MAC ID. If your host understands mDNS such as a Mac, you may need to enter the URL as https://rg1xx29378B.local. 3. Accept the self-signed security certificate in the browser. 4. Click **Advanced** (Figure 5).

Connect the Ethernet cable to a network with internet access. If more advanced Ethernet configuration is needed, please see the Sentrius RG1xx User Manual in the documentation tab of the RG1xx product page at lairdtech.com: www.lairdtech.com/products/rg1xx-lora-gateway . ## **5.2 Setting Up Wi-Fi** By default, the Wi-Fi in the gateway is not configured to connect to a Wi-Fi network. You must access the web interface on the gateway via the Ethernet interface to setup the Wi-Fi connection. To set up the Wi-Fi, follow these steps: 1. Once logged into the web interface, navigate to the Wi-Fi page (Figure 8). _**Figure 8: Wi-Fi page**_ 2. To connect to a Wi-Fi network, click **Scan** to scan for nearby Wi-Fi networks (Figure 9). Scanning continues until you click **Stop** or select one of the scan results in the list. _**Figure 9: Wi-Fi scan results**_ 3. Click on the applicable scan result. 4. Enter the information for the applicable Wi-Fi network (Figure 10).
