1678086873 LoRaWAN Walrus-OD Gateway
User Guide
Preview
Walrus-OD LoRaWAN gateway integrates a high performance high reliability ARM
cortex A53, 1 or 2*SX1301 LoRa core processor, a LTE module, a GPS module, a
Wi-Fi module, temperature monitor, RTC, and power management unit. Would have
an internal battery for backup which could support over 5 hours duration
without external power. Rather than logging into the gateway and doing
operation with command in the Linux environment, a web-based utility is built
in which help customer use the device much easier.
There are 4 antenna ports, a external power input port, a RJ45 port, and a USB
debug port for the device.
ANT1: LoRa antenna.
ANT2: Back up.
ANT3: GPS antenna.
ANT4: Wi-Fi Antenna.
ANT5: LTE Antenna.
Power: External power supply input port, DC12 to 28V.
RJ45: RJ45 port, Ethernet and PoE power injector.
USB: USB port for debug.
Gateway Management
Connect Gateway’s Wi-Fi. The gateway’s name which likes “Walrus-OD_xxxxxx”, then fills in the password, the default format is “ODGW_xxxxxx”.
Gateway Configure
3.1.Gateway Login
- Open the browser on your computer and fill the IP 192.168.8.1 (default).
- Enter the username and password.
Username: admin
Password: admin
3.2.Device Info
- External Power Status
- Backup Battery Status
- 4G/LTE Status
- Ethernet Status
- GPS Status
- Temperature Status
- LoRa0 Status
Note: The color show blue is working normal, and the red is not working
but have the function, the white is mean the gateway doesn’t have the
function.
3.3.LoRaWAN Config
3.3.1. Ambient Noise Scanning
Enter band starts frequency, end frequency, and step width. In this example,
the test frequency is 868MHZ, so the frequency band setting from 867 MHZ to
869 MHZ, and the step setting is 100KHZ.
Click the Start Scanning to begin the ambient noise scanning
Note: The ambient noise can’t be over -95dBm, normally -100dBm is the
worst condition. Example if the value is -107dBm which is the good condition.
If the result shows the ambient noise over -95dBm, you must change the
installation place. Or the communication distance will be greatly reduced. So
if the result like this picture the gateway location is acceptable.
3.3.2. Packet Forwarder
Standard LoRaWAN packet forwarder
SDK Desc: SDK description
Gateway ID: gateway ID
Server Address: network serber address
Server Port: server port
Global Configuration: gateway type (frequency) and frequency plan selection
Note: use Bove Alpaca-E platform, the server address is “is0.bovetech.com”,
the port is 1780 (downlink and uplink are same)
3.3.3. Other Network Server
Instead of standard packet forward, Walrus-OD Gateway also support different
network server: iotsquare, OrbiWise, loriot, Alit LinkWAN.
3.4.Server Config
- Iotsquare Bridge is a program that integrates device management and LoRaWAN data forwarding. The system starts the program by default and connects to the BOVE Iotsquare server.
- When the device does not launch the Iotsquare SDK, the program is only used to manage the device; when the device starts the Iotsquare SDK, the program can be used to manage the device and forward LoRaWAN data.
- If users do not want to use the device management functions provided by the company’s servers, and want to provide LoRaWAN services to the company’s servers, you can close the Iotsquare Bridge and connect to the server using the standard Packet forwarder.
3.5.WIFI Config
3.5.1. WIFI Config
IP Address: gateway management address
WIFI Name: gateway wifi name
WIFI Password: gateway wifi password
Note: the parameters can be changed.
3.5.2. IP Config
The default network protocol is DHCP.
3.5.3. APN Config
Walrus-OD gateway has many built-in APN setting. In case of customer’s APN is
not included, gateway supports add APN operation.
Note: Add APN need confirm the information on the picture with the
operator.
3.5.4. RSSH Operation
- RSSH is an auxiliary tool used by the company to remotely manage devices. After launching the tool, the device will connect to the specified server and generate a port number.
- The user can provide the port number to the company’s technical support for remote debugging or troubleshooting of the device.
3.5.5. Ping / Traceroute / Host
Using network tools to check the network status.
3.6.Download Log
All the logs can be checked and downloaded here.
