RAK7240 3 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. 3.2.1 Status Overview RAK7240 User Manual V2.1 10

RAK7240 Image 5 | Status Overview Recevied: Shows the total number of LoRa messages received by the LoRa gateway; Transmittd: Shows the LoRa message sent by the LoRa gateway; Active Nodes: Shows the number of active LoRa nodes within the LoRa gateway coverage (nodes that sent messages in 10 minutes) Busy Nodes: Shows the number of busy nodes within the LoRa gateway coverage (nodes with an average message spacing of less than 60s) Dutycycle Of LoRa Channel: The chart shows the thermodynamic charts of the "duty cycle" of all channels over time over a period of 12 hours. The longitudinal axis is time and the minimum interval is 60s. The horizontal axis is the channel frequency. Each value represents the average duty cycle of the channel within 60s (range is: 0%-100%), green represents the low duty cycle, and red represents the high duty cycle. LoRa Traffic: The chart shows the LoRa packet rate（packet/min） of each spread factor in two hours. The vertical axis represents the LoRa packet rate, in packet/min, six colors represent six spread factors, and the total height represents the sum of all the rates of LoRa packet.

Type: Filter by message type. Select ALL as unfiltered and display all messages. DevAddr: Filter messages based on node addresses. Hide CRC_ERR packet: When it is selected, no CRC check error message will be displayed. Pause/Play: Pause/start message recording. Clear: Clear the current record. Download: Save the current record locally in CSV format. RAK7240 User Manual V2.1 12

RAK7240 3.2.6 Network Ping Watchdog Image 11 | Ping Watchdog Interface Ping Watchdog monitors the communication quality of network links by constantly pinging the specified IP address or domain name on the specified uplink network interface. When network link failures are found, scheduled measures are taken automatically, such as <restart interface>/<reduce the priority of this uplink network interface>/<restart the device>. Note: Reducing the priority of an uplink interface only works when the LoRa gateway uses both the Ethernet uplink link and the LTE cellular network uplink link. WAN interface represents the Ethernet uplink interface and WWAN represents the LTE cellular network uplink interface. If Ping watchdog is opened on both uplink network interfaces at the same time and action is set to Increase Gatway Metric, the two uplink links form backup links and automatically switch to another link when one link fails. The priority of the two links is determined by the default gatway metric of their respective network interfaces. The default gatway metric can be set in Network->WAN Network and Network->Cellular Network. The lower the gatway metric, the higher the priority of the link. RAK7240 User Manual V2.1 15
