MikroTik Gateway Configuration

This step-by-step guide explains how to configure the LoRa interface on a MikroTik gateway using the WebFig interface.

Prerequisites​

  • Admin access (username & password)
  • The gateway’s IP address (e.g., http://192.168.1.1)

1. Prepare LoRa Device for Configuration​

  1. Open your browser and log in to the gateway via its IP address.
  2. In the left menu, open WebFig → LoRa.

  1. Go to the Devices tab.
  2. Check that the gateway status is set to Disabled — all LoRa card settings must be made while the card is stopped.

2. Define LoRa Server​

  1. Go to the Servers tab.
  2. If there are predefined servers (from the manufacturer), you can remove them.

  1. Click Add New to create your own server.
  2. Enter the server details:
    • Name
    • Address
    • Up/Down ports
  3. Click Apply to save the server configuration.

  1. Go back to the Devices tab.
  2. Click on your LoRa card.

  1. Under the Network option, select Public.
  2. Click the plus (+) button next to Network Servers and select the newly created server.

  1. Once configured, enable the LoRa card by selecting it and clicking Enabled.

4. Verify Operation and Traffic​

  1. While still in the LoRa section, open the Traffic tab.
  2. Check for incoming messages — this confirms that the LoRa card is active and receiving data.
  3. If no messages appear, try restarting your end device.
    • For example, with a sensor (Sticker), simply remove and reinsert the power supply or battery.

✅ Your MikroTik LoRa interface is now configured and active.
