Introduction

Sensgreen LoRaWAN Network Server (LNS) is a robust and reliable component of the Sensgreen Smart Building Platform that plays a crucial role in managing LoRaWAN-connected devices within your building. LoRaWAN is a low-power, wide-area networking (LPWAN) protocol designed for long-range communication between IoT devices and gateways. 

 

 

Configuration

Milesight UG56 Industrial LoRaWAN Gateway will be used as an example in the steps.

 

Step 1: Access to Web GUI via Wi-Fi

a. Enable Wireless Network Connection on your computer and search for access point “Gateway_******” to connect it.
Also, Device EUI of the gateway can be obtained from there. Gateway EUI is obtained by concating the first 6 digits of MAC address, “FFFE”, and the last 6 digits of MAC address before the dash. You will use this gateway EUI when adding it to the Sensgreen Platform.

 

! Example: MAC24E124F65016-17 → Wi-Fi name: “Gateway_F65017”

→ Gateway EUI: “24E124” + “FFFE” + “F65016” = “24E124FFFEF65016”

 

b. Open a Web browser on your PC (Chrome is recommended) and type in the IP address 192.168.1.1 to access the web GUI.

c. Enter the username and password, click “Login”. You can find the default credentials on Milesight UG56 User Guide.

 

 

d. After logging the web GUI, you can change the password.
