Milesight UG65

Registration and Configuration

If you have not done so already you will need to register your gateway through your Developer or RAN Provider account using the steps below.

This page shows examples from a UG65 model Base Station running firmware v60.0.0.36 and may be a helpful reference to other models in the same series. Similiar models include UG67 and UG63.

Prerequisite Registration Information

The Manufacturer EUI can be derived from the listed 'MAC' value. The Serial Number ('SN') and 'MAC' values can be found on the label located on the back of the Milesight UG65.

Alternatively, the SN and Manufacturer EUI can be found in the Milesight Configuration web interface. For access instructions, see corresponding section below.

• The Serial Number can be found by navigating to section Status > Overview > Serial Number

• The full Manufacturer (Base Station) EUI value can be found by navigating to section Packet Forwarder > General > Gateway EUI

Registration on the SenRa network

Once the Manufacturer EUI and Base Station SN have been acquired, return to the SenRa Portal and complete Registration.

• Using any user account type with access to Base Station registration capabilities; when asked to Select Base Station Type during registration on the SenRa Portal, choose the Semtech Basic Station option from the drop down menu.
  

• Enter the unique SN and Manufacturer EUI as required.
  

• Complete the registration process by filling in the remaining fields.

Milesight Configuration Web Interface Initial Access Instructions

There are two methods to connect to the UG65 Base Station locally for configuration purposes:

 1. Wireless (Wi-Fi)
 2. Wired (Ethernet)

Each interface has a unique default static IP hosting the Milesight Configuration web interface. In this instruction set we show the wireless access method.

All users will be required to obtain initial access locally in order to configure a network backhaul interface and LoRaWAN Packet Forwarding to communicate with the SenRa Network Server.

Wireless (Wi-Fi) Local Connection

• Enable the Wireless Network Connection on your computer.
• Search for the advertised Wireless Access Point (WAP) named Gateway_****** where ****** are the last 6 characters of your Base Station's MAC address.
  

Open a web browser on your PC (Chrome is preferred) and navigate to the appropriate IP address. The default IP address and Username/Password for the wireless interface are listed below:

Interface	Default Static IP	Default Username	Default Password
Wireless (Wi-Fi)	http://192.168.1.1	admin	password

Enter the default username and password as listed above, then click Login:

During the initial setup you will be prompted through two configuration menus:
 1. Select the antenna type for your device (Internal or External)
 2. Change the default password

WAN Backhaul Configuration

Configuring a backhaul connection to the Internet is a prerequisite to enable the Base Station to be remotely accessible and to forward traffic to the SenRa Network Server. In this instruction set, the wired backhaul interface is configured through the static wireless default interface.

Configuring an interface for backhaul operation as described in this section will modify how the device functions:
 1. A correctly configured backhaul interface will enable the Base Station to communicate with SenRa.
 2. The ability to connect to the default static IP address of the corresponding interface will be disabled.

The Base Station will be accessible remotely through the web interface following a successful backhaul configuration and connection. In addition to Wi-Fi and Ethernet backhauls, the Base Station can also be configured for cellular backhaul operation.

One additional backhaul interface can be configured so that in the event the main interface has a failure, the second backhaul connection will be utilized.

• To specify the main and backup interfaces, navigate to Network > Link Failover > WAN Failover.
  

Wired (Ethernet) WAN Backhaul Configuration

If you are using the default wired local connection address (192.168.23.150), you will need to reconnect to the new configured address following making these changes.

• Through the Milesight Configuration web interface, navigate to: Network > Interface > Port.
  
• In the Connection Type drop down menu, select either Static IP or DHCP Client.

Configuring Semtech Basic Station

• Verify the Base Station has a valid network backhaul and the Registration process is completed in the SenRa Portal.
  

• Return to the Milesight Configuration web interface to configure the Base Station packet forwarding software.

• To configure the Semtech Basic Station packet forwarding software, navigate to: Packet Forwarder > General.
  

• Disable all currently active packet forwarder(s) by selecting the Edit button denoted by the pen icon under the Operation column.
  

• A new window will be displayed, shown below. Disable the packet forwarder by removing the checkmark in-line with Enable.
  

• Ensure that all listed Packet Forwarder(s) are Disabled.

• Click the + icon under the Operation column to add a new packet forwarder.
  

• Ensure the Enable checkbox is filled in.
• In the Type drop down menu, select the option Basic Station, the window will expand to show more fields.
  

In the newly expanded window, configure the Connecting to an LNS section as follows (TLS secured recommended configuration):

• URI: wss://collector.senraco.io:6042
• CA File(*.trust): Download the SenRa TLS Server Certificate
  
• Save the tc.trust file locally, note the location.
  
• Use the Browse button to open a file directory window, then navigate to your saved version of tc.trust.
  
• Click the Import button, which should now be blue if the correct file type was selected.
  
• A successful Import is recognizable by the Delete button changing color to become blue.
  
• Close the window by clicking Save.
  

• Click the button labeled Save & Apply for your changes to take effect.

Verifying Connection to the SenRa Network

Upon successful completion, the Base Station status will update to Registered - Active
