RAK2247 Quick Start Guide
Prerequisites
What Do You Need?
Before going through each and every step in the installation and guide of the RAK2247 LPWAN Gateway, make
sure to prepare the necessary items listed below:
1. RAK2247 WisLink LPWAN Concentrator
2. mPCIe to USB Board
3. A Windows/Mac OS/Linux Computer
What's Included in the Package?
Figure 1: Package Contents
Product Configuration
RAK2247 + x86 Linux PC
This section explains the basic steps on how to interface the RAK2247 WisLink LPWAN Concentrator with a Linux
Operating System in a computer.
1. Insert the RAK2247 mPCIe board into the USB carrier board and plugged into a free USB port of your PC. Your
Linux PC should recognized it as a USB device.
📝
NOTE:
If you want to connect the RAK2247 mPCIe board to the Linux PC directly, make sure to have the
PERST# signal (Pin 22) pulled down.

2. Open the command line then enter the command below in order to clone the Github repository that is required
for the process to be completed:
3. Get the name of the interface you are using to connect to the internet by typing the command:
An example in Figure 2 shows the name of the wireless interface “wlx6045bdf0cf64”.

Enter the RAK Folder through:
git clone https://github.com/RAKWireless/rak_common_for_gateway.git
ifconfig
sh
sh

4. Next, you need to insert the name you got in Step 3 for your interface in the following files:
rak_common_for_gateway/lora/set_eui.sh
rak_common_for_gateway/lora/update_gwid.sh
Then, replace the following line:
With the line,
Again, the values are just an example. Remember to do this for all 3 files in step 4.
5. Change the global_conf.json that will be copied during installation by replacing the
global_conf.eu_863_870.json in the end of the (install.sh file)
[https://github.com/RAKWireless/rak_common_for_gateway/blob/master/lora/rak2247_usb/install.sh] to one of
those inside /global_conf or a custom one. (EU868 is the default)
📝
NOTE:
You may also comment on the line below so the TTN address doesn't get replaced by localhost.
6. If you are using the RAK2247 in a board that has a different pinout than the RAK2247 Pi Hat, replace the
SX1301_RESET_BCM_PIN in the rak_common_for_gateway/lora/start.sh to the corresponding RESET pin.
📝
NOTE:
If you want to have your Gateway_ID automatically update when running your package forwarder,
uncomment and change the line #./update_gwid.sh ./local_conf.json in the same file (start.sh) to
./update_gwid.sh ./global_conf.json .
7. Add the following lines of code at the end of “install.sh” file: ( In addition to inserting the name of the interface
from the previous step)
cd rak_common_for_gateway/lora/rak2247_usb
GATEWAY_EUI_NIC=”eth0”
GATEWAY_EUI_NIC=”wlx6045bdf0cf64h0”
cp global_conf/global_conf.eu_863_870.json $INSTALL_DIR/packet_forwarder/lora_pkt_fwd/global_conf
# sed -i "s/^.*server_address.*$/\t\"server_address\": \"127.0.0.1\",/" $INSTALL_DIR/packet_forwa
# Reset iC880a PIN
SX1301_RESET_BCM_PIN=<YOUR_RESET_PIN_HERE>
sh
sh
sh
sh

📝
NOTE:
If you want packet forwarder to start on boot, you need to also add the lines below:
8. Save “install.sh” file and execute it in order to install:
9. Wait for the installation to complete. Using the commands below, go and run the newly created process
(lora_pkt_fwd):
📝
NOTE:
If you added the additional lines in step 5 it will execute every time on boot.
10. To check if it is working, run sudo systemctl start ttn-gateway.service to start the service and check its
status service ttn-gateway status . You should see something like the box below. Be aware that it may take
some minutes to see your gateway as connected in TTN's console.
cp ../set_eui.sh packet_forwarder/lora_pkt_fwd/
cp ../update_gwid.sh packet_forwarder/lora_pkt_fwd/
cp ../start.sh packet_forwarder/lora_pkt_fwd/
mkdir -p /opt/ttn-gateway/
cp -rf packet_forwarder /opt/ttn-gateway/
cp ../ttn-gateway.service /lib/systemd/system/
systemctl enable ttn-gateway.service
sudo ./install.sh
cd /opt/ttn-gateway/packet_forwarder/lora_pkt_fwd
sudo ./lora_pkt_fwd
sh
sh
sh
sh

Congratulations!
🎉
you should now see your Gateway in TTN!
