Unless you can get a provisioning code for use in your area don’t buy one of these. The LoRa radio is configured by entering a provision code into the web interface but there doesn’t seem to be a readily available tool for generating the required provisioning code for your local band plan.
I’ve been speaking to sensorworks.net and apparently the Provision Code in the web interface is only used for Gemtek’s own network. To configure this unit for TheThingsNetwork requires a change in the configuration file. Here is what sensorwork.net says;
all Gemtek Femto gateways run the same firmware. The only difference is a configuration file that is set through the Linux interface of the gateway. This Linux interface is reserved for the factory and OEM partners. The web interface, similar to what you might see on a router allows end users the ability to set Wi-Fi connectivity parameters in the case where you want to bridge the gateway to a Wi-Fi connection or use the gateway as an access point as well. As an OEM partner, we are able to make changes to the gateway to support a variety of different LoRaWAN networks and regions. Different OEMs have different configurations depending on their specific regional markets.
Sadly the required info/tool to make these changes is not readily availible from Gemtek or sensorworks.
What provision code are you referring to?
Are you able to SSH into the Gemtek Gateway? You’ll first need to connect to it via WiFi, the use 192.168.55.1 to SSH into the Gemtek Gateway…
Hi jessemydevices, when I try to ssh using the command
I get Connection to 192.168.55.1 closed. immediately after typing in password “admin”.
If it helps, the link is for the backup file downloaded from the Gemtek Gateway.
backup file
The provisioning code I was referring to is in the gateway web interface shown in the GioT menu. I originally thought it was for configuring the LoRa radio but apparently it is only used for the GioT network and the radio needs a configuration file. Maybe it is possible to modify my backup file with the correct configuration and then re-upload it through the web interface? I have had a poke around in the various file but without any documentation I am at a loss at the moment.
I’ve managed to gain ssh access with root privileges to the gateway. To do this I first logged in to the web interface on 192.168.55.1. Log in with user admin and password admin. Then go to system > backup and restore to download a backup to your pc. Ubuntu saves this in ~/Downloads. The backup file is simply a .tar.gz of the gateways /etc folder. Open the file /etc/shadow and copy the hash for the admin password (shown in bold) to all the other passwords. Save the changes and upload through the web interface.
root:$1$kISzvUen$KWbOWvwQwqDkLh0N4cX00/:16755:0:99999:7:::
daemon::0:0:99999:7:::
ftp::0:0:99999:7:::
network::0:0:99999:7:::
nobody::0:0:99999:7:::
admin:$1$kISzvUen$KWbOWvwQwqDkLh0N4cX00/:16755:0:99999:7:::
su:$1$kISzvUen$KWbOWvwQwqDkLh0N4cX00/:17441:0:99999:7:::
giot-admin:$1$kISzvUen$KWbOWvwQwqDkLh0N4cX00/:17441:0:99999:7:::
giot-user:$1$kISzvUen$KWbOWvwQwqDkLh0N4cX00/:17442:0:99999:7:::
The gateway will reboot with all passwords set to admin. Reconnect to the gateways wifi, open a terminal and run the command;
ssh giot-admin@192.168.55.1
enter password admin and you now have full root access to the gateway.
Next step, figure out how to configure the gateway for TTN. If anyone has one of these actually working on TTN can you share your backup file or compare your backup file to the one I posted a link to previously so that we can get an idea on how to set this up for TTN?

After a small delay I am back to trying to get this to work on TTN. The unit runs OpenWrt Barrier Breaker which is no longer getting security updates from OpenWrt. Midnight Commander plays well with this unit (sudo apt install mc to install on Ubuntu). Using mc connect to the unit using the Shell Link dialog, enter giot-admin@192.168.55.1 and type password admin when asked. Using mc I copied nearly all the directories from the root file system to a folder on my machine for ease of poking around. I have found a file /usr/bin/lora_sw_arch_check.sh that looks interesting, here is a copy of the file.

I tried running the file but get permision denied error. 
The FemtoGateway not opensource. When I try to modify some files to connect TTN server. I broke the firmwere of LoRaGateway. I hate this. I hope FemtoGateway push source and tool bootfirmware on Githup.
Can you document what you did to break it so we know what not to do? I will see if I can locate a backup file from my unit.
Maybe one day someone will figure out how to get one of these working on TTN, but for the moment DO NOT buy one of these!!!

Hi everybody!
I have device IOT Femto Gateway WLRGFM-100
I have loged in to admin interface but i can not setup anything there
Only change admin password and reboot device
How to connect it to TTN ?
Alexey, until someone can find/post some documentation for this device I’m afraid it won’t work on TTN. The manufacturer and the one reseller I spoke with refuse to give me any information. Sadly for now, DO NOT BUY ONE OF THESE FOR TTN!
Is it using Semtech packet forwarder? can u please share the screen shot of device login? I am able to integrate the Gemtek Indoor LoRAWAN gateway with TTN
Hello madhuvarsha, can you share about how to integrate Gemtek Indoor LoRaWAN gateway with TTN Server step-by-step?
I very very need your help.
Thank you in advance
Can u please share the product details? Is it LoRAWAN gateway or packet forwarder? mine one is Packet Forwarder.
Check the link…does the Gateway login screen is similar?
Hi, my gateway Configuration Interface looks similiar to you, but I can’t find “Packet Forward” tab on the left side. Here is a screenshot for that.
In the other hand, yesterday I tried to upgrade the firmware from 3.00.07 to 3.03.13.
Then another problem occured. I can’t use the Provision Code that I previously used on the firmware version 3.00.07, and then my Gateway is like “bricked/locked” for some reasons due to the “wrong provision code”.
Now anyone know how to rollback the firmware to the older one?

No Worries …you need to follow the following steps:
- Create a login credentials on TTN https://account.thethingsnetwork.org/users/login (if not created yet)
- Login and go to Console
- In Console - Click Gateway and add the required information i.e Gateway ID ( if device is functioning as Gateway or Packet forwarder - check Packet forwarder for legacy device), Description, Frequency plan ( as applicable in your country), Router location. …That’s all. At TTN End.
Kindly share the Model name and config screen also of the gateway.
In Gateway :
The server addresses visible in the Router drop-down are for TTN specific gateway software. If you are using the normal Semtech packet forwarder on port 1700, you should point your gateway to one of the following addresses instead:
router.au.thethings.network (Australia, 915 MHz)
router.as1.thethings.network (Southeast Asia, 920-923 MHz - 'AS923' low)
router.as2.thethings.network (Southeast Asia, 923-925 MHz - 'AS923' high)
router.eu.thethings.network (Europe, 868 MHz)
router.us.thethings.network (America, 902-928 MHz)
router.kr.thethings.network (Korea, 920-923 MHz)
I hope this will helpful.

Please ask the supplier for Firmware related issue. Once FW issue is resolved, you can apply the config I mentioned earlier.
Thank you, I have been created a TTN account, but actually I have no idea about configuring Gemtek Femto due to lack of documentation.
I have already try to contact the supplier about the firmware, but the supplier haven’t respond for it yet.
Anyway, thank you so much for your help and have a nice day!
No worries, once u sorted out the FW issue,I will be more than happy to help you out.
@madhuvarsha Hello dear friend,
I am currently trying to setup a femto GW from Gemtek (FW Version 3.02.35 Wed May 23 14:11:22 CST 2018) to work with TTN.
I need to know the EUI of the lora chip to configure on the TTN end, but I can’t find how…
How did you get it? Through SSH?
My GW is provisioned with a Packet Forwarder code in US915 band.
Thanks!
Xavier
