Frequently Asked Questions

What is Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP)?

ZTP allows your IoT LoRaWAN gateway to be pre-configured at the factory, so you don’t have to manually set up network parameters upon its arrival. A ZTP LoRaWAN gateway simplifies deployment by enabling automatic provisioning, reducing setup time and potential configuration errors.

How can I get the Gateway SDK for customization?

RAK provides a Gateway SDK for advanced customization and integration with third-party applications. If you need access to the SDK for developing custom applications, modifying gateway behavior, or integrating with a proprietary system, please contact Glyn support 

To request the SDK, contact us at sales@glyn.com.au

What network servers are supported?

The RAK7268V2/RAK7268CV2 LoRaWAN gateway supports multiple LoRaWAN network servers, including:

• ChirpStack – Open-source LoRaWAN network server
• The Things Network (TTN) – Free and community-driven network server
• AWS IoT Core for LoRaWAN – Cloud-based LoRaWAN server by AWS
• Actility (ThingPark Wireless) – Enterprise-grade LoRaWAN network
• Loriot – Professional LoRaWAN network provider

Flexible Deployment: You can use WisGateOS 2’s built-in LoRa Network Server or connect the gateway to an external network server based on your project needs.

Is this an 8-channel LoRaWAN gateway? What’s the advantage over a single-channel LoRaWAN gateway?

Yes, the RAK7268V2/RAK7268CV2 is an 8-channel LoRaWAN gateway, designed for reliable, scalable deployments.

Advantages over Single-Channel LoRaWAN Gateways:

• Handles multiple LoRa nodes simultaneously – Unlike single-channel gateways that can only process one LoRa transmission at a time, 8-channel gateways can handle multiple transmissions, improving network efficiency.
• Better coverage and reliability – Supports different spreading factors (SF7-SF12), ensuring better signal reception and increased coverage.
• LoRaWAN-compliant – Fully compatible with LoRaWAN networks, allowing integration with standard LoRaWAN sensors and applications.
• Suitable for real-world deployments – Single-channel gateways are mainly for testing and experimentation, while 8-channel gateways like the RAK7268 are designed for commercial and industrial use.

Can I manage the gateway remotely?

Yes! The RAK7268V2 / RAK7268CV2 supports remote management via WisDM (RAK’s cloud-based management platform).

With WisDM, you can:

• Monitor gateway health in real time (status, logs, and performance).
• Remotely update firmware and apply security patches.
• Configure and adjust gateway settings without on-site access.
• Scale deployments efficiently, managing multiple gateways from a single dashboard.

Alternative Remote Management Options:

• If you prefer self-hosted management, you can use MQTT, SSH access, or RESTful APIs to integrate with your existing system.
