## Introduction
13+
14+
This tutorial will show you how to get started with your **WisGate Edge** gateway and how it can be utilized by itself. It will showcase the connection to **The Things Network<sup>TM</sup>**. We will go through the local and online setup.
15+
16+
## Goals
17+
18+
The goals of this article are:
19+
20+
- Setup the hardware
21+
- Connect locally to the Gateway
22+
- Open the dashboard panel
23+
- Create a Gateway on The Things Network<sup>TM</sup>(TTN)
24+
- Setup the credentials on the device from TTN
25+
- Test the Gateway (optional)
26+
27+
## Hardware & Software Needed
28+
29+
- [WisGate Edge Pro or WisGate Edge Lite 2](https://store.arduino.cc/pages/wisgate-lora-gateways)
30+
- x2 Ethernet Cable
31+
32+
## What's Included in the Box
33+
34+
The package includes:
35+
* LoRa Gateway
36+
* PoE Injector (with its power cable, IEC)
37+
* Pole mounting mechanical pieces
38+
39+
## Instructions
40+
41+
### Setup the Hardware
42+
43+
The device can be supplied from 37 to 57 VDC with a PoE or with a Solar panel (12 VDC).
44+
You can supply it through the Solar Panel cable (12V cable) or with an ethernet cable with PoE.
45+
46+
In case of the PoE, you can use the PoE Injector included with the kit by connecting your LAN to the `LAN` port and the `PoE` port to the Gateway.
47+
48+
49+
### Connect to the WisGate Dashboard
50+
51+
There are different ways to access the WisGate:
52+
* Connecting to its Wi-Fi Access Point (dashboard IP: `192.168.230.1`)
53+
* Ethernet cable from your Computer to the Gateway (dashboard IP: `192.168.230.1`)
54+
* Connecting your Gateway to your LAN, getting its DHCP IP (You will need to discover the device's IP)
55+
56+
Once you got the IP of your Gateway you can type it in your browser to access the dashboard.
57+
58+
The first time you attempt to login it will require you to set up the password of your dashboard, set your password, click set password and save it.
59+
60+
![Web dashboard - first login](assets/wisgate-dashboard-setPassword.png)
61+
62+
Once the password is set, you will now be able to see and interact with the dashboard panel.
63+
64+
![WisGate dashboard](assets/wisgate-dashboard-overview.png)
65+
66+
***The WiFi Access Point that is running, by default it is open, we recommend you to set a password with WPA2-PSK encryption to secure your device, you can do that by accessing the Wi-Fi settings going to network > LAN > Wi-Fi > Settings***
67+
68+
### Create the Gateway on TTN Dashboard
69+
70+
Go to https://cloud.thethings.network and pick your region's cluster, in our case we pick Europe.
71+
72+
![TTN zone picker](assets/ttn-cluster-pick.png)
73+
74+
Now chose the gateway button.
75+
76+
![TTN device type selection](assets/ttn-overview-picker.png)
77+
78+
It will open the Gateways page, click the create gateway button
79+
80+
![TTN Gateways dashboard](assets/ttn-gateways.png)
81+
82+
Fill the required forms.
83+
84+
![TTN Gateway creation](assets/ttn-add-gateway.png)
85+
86+
Fill the information:
87+
* Gateway ID: unique ID for your gateway inside the things network platform.
88+
* Gateway EUI: The EUI of your WisGate Gateway (Get it on the overview page on the WisGate dashboard)
89+
* Gateway name: Name of the Gateway on your TTN's profile
90+
* Gateway Server Address: the Address of the LoRa network (format: `wss://<cloudServer>`)
91+
* LoRaWAN options, Frequency plan: select the recommended plan or the one that fits your project
92+
93+
Click the "Create gateway" button at the end of the page.
94+
95+
You will see the new gateway added to your list.
96+
97+
![TTN Gateway created](assets/ttn-dashboard-gateways.png)
98+
99+
### Setup Your Gateway with the TTN Credentials
100+
101+
Access to the Network configuration by clicking on its button.
102+
103+
![WisGate web dashboard](assets/wisgate-dashboard-configuration.png)
104+
105+
On the configuration tab select the work mode to "Basic station"
106+
107+
![WisGate basic station configuration](assets/wisgate-basic-setup.png)
108+
109+
Then at the "Basic station server setup" section pick the "LNS Server" as a type.
110+
111+
Fill the Server URL with `wss://eu1.cloud.thethings.network` (for EU) and the port `8887`
112+
113+
The authentication Mode "TLS Server & Client token Authentication"
114+
115+
Choose the file with the certificates that you can download from [here](https://letsencrypt.org/certs/isrgrootx1.pem)
116+
117+
And the client token that you can get inside the TTN Gateway's dashboard panel.
118+
119+
![Wisgate gateway configuration with TTN info](assets/ttn-gateway-dashboard-server.png)
120+
121+
Click the API key on the top right and create a new one.
122+
123+
![Wisgate dashboard using TTN's API key](assets/ttn-api-key.png)
124+
125+
Set the "Rights" to individual ones and chose the "Link as gateway to a Gateway Server for traffic exchange"
126+
127+
Then paste it on the WisGate dashboard form as `Authorization: <YOUR_API_KEY>`
128+
129+
Click "Save changes".
130+
131+
After finishing the setup you could see the Gateway status being "Connected"
132+
133+
