RAK7289V2 WisGate Edge Pro

The RAK7289V2 WisGate Edge Pro is an industrial-grade outdoor LoRaWAN® gateway. Designed for high reliability, it is housed in an IP67 enclosure, making it suitable for harsh environments and tower deployments.

It runs on WisGateOS 2 and supports multi-backhaul connectivity (Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Cellular) to ensure constant uptime for critical IoT networks.


Key Features​

  • Industrial Design: IP67 waterproof aluminum enclosure.
  • Channels: 8 or 16 Channels (depending on the model).
  • Multi-Backhaul: Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and LTE Cellular (with dual SIM support on some models).
  • GPS: Integrated GPS for precise time synchronization and location.
  • Power: Powered via PoE (Power over Ethernet) for simplified cabling.
  • Management: Local Web UI, SSH, and WisDM remote management.

Quick Start Guide​

1. Hardware Setup​

  1. Antennas: Connect the LoRa, LTE, and GPS antennas before powering on the device to avoid damage.
  2. SIM Card: If using cellular, insert the SIM card into the slot inside the waterproof cap.
  3. Mounting: Use the included kit to mount the gateway on a pole or wall.

2. Power On​

  • Connect an Ethernet cable from the PoE injector (included) to the ETH port on the gateway.
  • The device will boot up.

3. Accessing the Gateway​

You can connect to the gateway's local Web UI using one of two methods:

WiFi AP Mode (Default)​

  1. Connect your PC to the Wi-Fi SSID: RAK7289CV2_XXXX (where XXXX are the last bytes of the MAC address).
  2. No password is required.
  3. Open a web browser and go to 192.168.230.1.

Ethernet Mode​

  1. Connect the gateway's ETH port directly to your PC.
  2. Set your PC to a static IP (e.g., 169.254.15.100) to match the gateway's fallback IP (169.254.15.1).

4. Setting the Mandatory Password​

When you first access the gateway, you are required to set a password for the root user. The password must meet these criteria:

  • At least 12 characters long
  • Includes at least one special character
  • Includes at least one number
  • Includes at least one Latin letter
Gateway EUI

Once the password is set, you will be redirected to the Dashboard, where you will define your country and region. Copy the 16-character Gateway EUI displayed there – you will need it for network server registration.

5. Internet Connectivity​

Before the gateway can communicate with a network server, it needs an internet connection. Navigate to Network > WAN:

  • Ethernet: Plug the ETH port into your router; it uses DHCP by default.
  • WiFi: Go to Wi-Fi, enable the interface, and scan for your local network.
  • Cellular (LTE Models): If using a SIM card, configure the APN under Cellular.
Cellular Note

If you are not using a SIM card, disable the cellular interface to prevent SIM_ABSENT log spam.

Configuring Work Modes​

The gateway supports multiple LoRaWAN work modes. Navigate to LoRa > Configuration to select your preferred mode:

Select Basics Station to connect to The Things Stack:

Other Available Work Modes​

  • Packet Forwarder: Used for legacy Semtech UDP or ChirpStack MQTT connections.
  • Built-in Network Server: Allows the gateway to act as its own standalone LNS (ChirpStack).
