1.1. Purpose, Audience & What you will Achieve

This User Guide explains how to deploy the IRIS LoRaWAN Gateway from unboxing to first uplink, then how to operate and maintain it safely over time. You should be comfortable with IP networking basics (static IP vs DHCP, HTTPS, TLS certificates) and with the fundamentals of LoRaWAN (end-devices, gateways, network server, application server).

By the end of the “First Run” sequence you will have:

• Established backhaul connectivity (Ethernet or cellular),
• Secured access to the gateway,
• Selected a forwarding approach (Packet Forwarder via UDP or Basics Station, or Embedded LNS),
• Verified the first join and the first uplink.

1.2. General Description of the IRIS Gateway

The IRIS LoRaWAN Gateway is a high-performance, next-generation solution developed by Adeunis for smart building applications and IoT networks.

Serving as the bridge between IoT sensors and IT or cloud platforms, the IRIS Gateway efficiently collects data from various field devices and securely forwards it to network servers and applications.

Whether you're integrating it into an existing LoRaWAN network or using it to build a new one, the IRIS Gateway offers great flexibility and scalability.
