      1.6  Configure the LoRaWAN Gateway

      1.6.1 GUI Access 

      Default mode of Daviteq Gateway is DHCP. Once gateway is turned on through plugging in the DC adapter, it will automatically link to available servers. Gateway’s IP address can be found from the DHCP server. Access Gateway Web UI via the DHCP IP on browser. The default username is “admin”, and the password can be found on the inside label.

      To access the GUI, follow these steps:

      Step 1: Use a computer to connect to the network that the gateway is connected. The computer can connect to that network via WiFi or Ethernet.

      Step 2: 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.

      Step 3: Enter the IP address of the gateway in the web browser to access the configuration interface.

      For example, If the IP address of the Gateway is 192.168.1.15 , you should enter exactly that information in web browser, then the GUI will be displayed.
