1 ABOUT THIS GUIDE

This document is the parent guide of the RG1xx Quick Start Guide and provides a comprehensive guide on how to configure the Sentrius RG186 and RG191 gateways to suit the intended application. It covers all the Sentrius RG1xx functionality, including Ethernet, Wi-Fi and LoRa configurations. It also provides instructions for setting up the gateway on a LoRa network server.

Note: Step-by-step instruction, screen shots, and pictures are based on the Sentrius RG191, but the

same is applicable for the Sentrius RG186; differences are highlighted in the notes.

3 CONNECTING 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, follow these 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).

Alternatively use the Wi-Fi Quick Config mechanism. Refer to Wi-Fi Quick Config for additional information.

Your gateway is now connected and ready.

Figure 3: Connecting the gateway

3.1.1 Antenna Configuration

To configure the antenna properly, do the following:

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.

3.1.2 Wi-Fi Quick Configuration

The gateway includes a mode to allow you to configure without ethernet access, in the case that you wish to join a wireless network.

Apply power to the gateway and allow to start, then perform the following:

1. Depress and hold the user button (see #2 in Figure 2) for seven seconds.

2. From a wirelessly enabled device perform a scan.

3. Connect to the access point rg1xx29378B, where “29378B” are the last six digits of the Ethernet MAC

address found on the label on the bottom of the gateway (Figure 4). The network is secured with WPA2 with a password that is the same as the SSID. We recommend that you change the default password for security reasons. The password can be changed on the Wi-Fi > Advanced web page.

Upon logout or client disassociation, Wi-Fi Quick Config shuts down and normal operation resumes.

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 URL into the web browser to access the web interface. For example, for the gateway used in

this guide, the URL is https://rg1xx29378B.local., where “29378B” are the last six digits of the Ethernet MAC address. In Wi-Fi quick config mode, the gateway can also be accessed via the IP address at

https://192.168.1.1

3. Accept the self-signed security certificate in the browser.

4. Click Advanced (Figure 5).
