1.2 Introduction

GWIND is a LoRaWAN® Gateway designed for indoor installation, used in projects such as Smart Factory, Smart Agriculture, Smart Building, Smart Residential Area, Smart City... It simultaneously supports 8 connection channels to help receive a large number of packets from surrounding LoRaWAN sensors. The connection distance to the LoRaWAN sensors is up to 10km (depending on the environment and sensor types). It supports common communications such as Ethernet, LTE, WiFi. LoRa frequency support 863∼870MHz/ 902∼928MHz. This LoRaWAN Gateway is widely used in applications such as reading water meters, electricity meters, gas meters, environmental monitoring, smart farms, and smart factories...

Notes

When selecting a LoRaWAN gateway, it is essential to choose the correct frequency band based on your region (e.g., 920–925 MHz or 863–870 MHz depending on local regulations). Ensure the gateway supports suitable network connectivity options such as Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or 4G/LTE, depending on the availability and reliability of internet access at the installation site. Also, consider whether the deployment is indoor or outdoor. The indoor gateways are compact and economy, while outdoor gateways should be weatherproof (e.g., IP67-rated) and capable of wider coverage. Choosing the right version ensures stable performance and long-term reliability.

1.6 Power Supply

• Power the LoRaWAN GWIND Gateway through the USB-Type C port, use 220 VAC to 5 VDC USB power adapter

1.7 Guide for Quick Test

Startup the LoraWAN Gateway through the following steps

Step 1: Install the antenna of the LoRaWAN Gateway

Install the Lora antenna in the correct position. Make sure the antenna and Gateway are tightly connected.

Step 2: Connect the Ethernet cable to the Gateway

Connect the Ethernet cable into Ethernet port. 

Step 3: Insert the SIM card to SIM slot of the side of the gateway (optional), note the SIM direction as instruction label on the housing

Step 4 : Power up the Gateway through USB type C port using provided power adapter and USB cable

Step 5 : Access Gateway's GUI for configuration

There are two ways  to access Gateway's GUI for configuration: via Wifi network or via Ethernet port

Access Gateway's GUI via Ethernet port

By default, the gateway is configured to use DHCP. Therefore, it must be connected to a network with an active DHCP server in order to access the Web GUI. 

If the gateway is to be used in a static IP network without DHCP, it must firstly be connected to another active DHCP server to access the configuration interface to configure static IP for the gateway. Once the initial configuration is complete, the gateway can then be moved to the static IP network. Details of static IP configuration for the gateway are in sub-section of WAN SETTINGS in section of 2.2.6.2 Network WAN configuration

In some company with strict IT regulations, the gateway MAC address must be added to company network white list for proper connection.

• Use a computer to connect to the network that the gateway is connected. The computer can connect to that network via  Ethernet.
• Use the IP scanning software to find the IP address of the gateway based on its Mac address that can be found on the back label.

Access this link  to get a free IP scanning software on the internet 

• Enter the IP address of the gateway in the web browser to access the configuration interface.

Must add port 4050 after the IP address. For example, If the IP address of the Gateway is 192.168.1.21 , you have to enter 192.168.1.21:4050 in web browser, then the GUI will be displayed.

The default username is admin and default password is public. Please check updated username and password on the gateway label.

After login successfully, the general information of the gateway will be display at general information tab.

Access Gateway's GUI via gateway Wifi network

The gateway Wifi access point will be off automatically when user's PC has disconnect from this Wifi network

Step 6: Lora Settings

The LoRa menu consists of the following categories: Package Forwarder and Logs. Configure some basic fields for the gateway operation.

Package Forwarder

Select Packet Forwarder in the left menu, then choose Gateway Info. This page is for setting up the LoRa configuration including Channel Plan, Gateway ID, Server Address, Server Uplink Port, Server Downlink Port, Keep-Alive Interval, Statistics Display Interval, and Push Timeout

Need to properly configure the Server Address, Server Uplink Port, and Server Downlink Port fields. These information depend on the Network server.

Choose the channel plan for the gateway, then choose the Apply button at the bottom right to save the current configuration.

Watcher

• Packet Forwarder:

- Interval: Interval for checking the system log to verify successful uplink to the network server.

- Packet Forwarder Reset Threshold: Number of consecutive uplink failures before resetting the packet forwarder

- Gateway Reboot Threshold: Number of packet forwarder resets before resetting the gateway.

Step 7: Network WAN configuration

This category shows current WAN settings. This category is further divided into three sectors: WAN Status, Data Statistics and WAN Settings. 

• WAN Status

The current network status will be shown on this page.

• WAN Statistics

Statistics on the gateway's used data capacity are shown in this section

• WAN Settings

Daviteq Gateway supports internet connectivity via both Ethernet , Wi-Fi (optional) or Cellular (optional). 

The default Ethernet mode is DHCP. 

• Follow the steps below to set up the Ethernet network to static mode.

Step 1: In the Network section, select WAN.
Step 2: Click on the WAN Settings tab at the top.
Step 3: In the Configuration field, select Ethernet WAN
Step 4: Enter the Ethernet WAN information, including WAN Type, IP address, Subnet Mask, Gateway and DNS server 
Step 5: Click the Apply button to save and apply the new configuration.

• Follow the steps below to set up the Wi-Fi network for the gateway:

Step 1: In the Network section, select WAN.
Step 2: Click on the WAN Settings tab at the top.
Step 3: In the Configuration field, select Wi-Fi.

1.9 Default Configuration

1.10 Installation and Wiring

• Mounting Location Requirements

• • Mount about 3 m above the ground and about 1 m below the ceiling for the best LoRaWAN signal transmission

• • Mount well away from the ground, the ceiling surface and any metal/glass objects.

• • Mount on an open pole or on a wall, ensuring the RF path from the gateway antenna to the LoRaWAN nodes is obstructed as little as possible (apple-shaped beam centered on the antenna tip).
  • The RF path to the nodes should avoid metal and glass obstructions.

• Mechanical Installation Steps

  • Step 1:  Screw the supplied antenna onto the gateway.
  • Step 2: Mount the gateway base onto the pole/wall using 3 provided screws to fix into the 3 holes on the base. Note the horizontal/vertical orientation of the base exactly as shown so the gateway stands upright with the antenna pointing up.

• • Step 3:  Place the gateway onto the base so that the 3 holes on the gateway's back align with the 3 tabs/ridges on the base.

• • Step 4 : Turn the gateway gently clockwise to lock it onto the base.
