WEB Configuration Guide
3.1 Connect the Gateway
1. Via WiFi
The WiFi of the gateway works in AP mode by default. The default SSID format is
"RAKxxxx_xxxx” such as "RAK7240_D3BD", “D3BD” is the last two bytes of the
gateway MAC address. Connecting to the SSID using your PC, then can automatically
get the IP address. After successful connection, the WEB management platform can be
accessed through the IP address 192.168.230.1 of the gateway LAN interface.
2. Via IP Alias of WAN Port
The WAN interface of the gateway has a static IP (Auto IP Alias) generated
automatically according to the MAC address. The format of the IP address is
169.254.x.x/255.255.0.0. The 3 and 4 bytes of IP correspond to the decimal
representation of the fifth and sixth bytes of the MAC address, respectively. For
example, the MAC address is xx: xx: xx: xx: D3: BD, and the Alias IP is
169.254.211.189/255.255.0.0.
Connecting your PC's Ethernet interface to gateway WAN interface, and adding
169.254.x.x/255.255.0.0 IP address to PC's Ethernet interface, then we can access
gateway's WEB management platform through Alias IP.
3. Via WAN Port DHCP IP
When DHCP Server is in the network where the gateway WAN interface is located, the
WAN interface can automatically get the IP address. After inquiring the IP address of the
gateway through DHCP Server, the WEB management platform of the gateway can be
accessed through the DHCP IP address of WAN interface.
3.2 WEB Management Platform
Open the browser, enter the IP address of the gateway, and open the login page of the
WEB Management Platform. Enter the user name and password (user name and
password default is root) and click login.
