Dragino Gateway & LoRaWAN Device Quick Configuration Guide

Overview​

This page is migrated from the old guide How to register gateway to server. It covers local gateway setup, server configuration, ThingsEye registration, and basic dashboard import.

Before you begin​

  • Make sure the gateway is powered on
  • Make sure the gateway frequency band matches the end devices you plan to use
  • ThingsEye only receives uplinks after both the gateway and end devices are registered
  • If you do not have a platform account yet, read ThingsEye Account

Step 1: Connect to gateway Wi-Fi​

When the gateway starts for the first time, it creates a Wi-Fi network named dragino-xxxxxx.

  • Wi-Fi name: dragino-xxxxx
  • Password: dragino+dragino

Gateway Wi-Fi

Step 2: Open the gateway management page​

After connecting to the gateway Wi-Fi, open the local management page in a browser.

  • Address: http://10.130.1.1/
  • Username: root
  • Password: dragino

Gateway Login

Step 3: Configure network access​

If the gateway uses Wi-Fi uplink, complete the Wi-Fi configuration in the gateway management page.

tip

The old guide reminds you to click Save after each configuration change.

Step 4: Configure server address and port​

Server address​

The old guide shows the fixed server address setup for INS servers:

Port and frequency band​

note

The gateway frequency band must match the end devices. If you are unsure, confirm the correct band with the Dragino team.

For the lns1 server, the old page lists these port mappings:

  • 1706 -> eu868
  • 1705 -> as923
  • 1700 -> us915

Step 5: Register the gateway in ThingsEye​

The old guide notes that ThingsEye only accepts uplink data after the gateway and devices are registered, which helps avoid unknown or invalid device traffic.

When registering the gateway:

  1. Enter the gateway ID in ThingsEye.
  2. Restart the gateway.
  3. Confirm that the gateway becomes online.
