WisGateOS 2 supports extensions, which provides additional features and functions that can be added, removed, or updated based on your needs.
Figure 1: ExtensionsSupported Extensions
| Extensions | Descriptions | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| Breathing Light | This extension allows you to customize the LED light's behavior, including working modes, frequency, and color. | |
| Custom Logo | Enables uploading a custom logo to the Web UI for branding purposes. This extension works across all gateways supporting WisGateOS 2. | |
| Country Settings | The Country Settings extension allows you to set the gateway's country code to comply with local LoRaWAN frequency regulations and ISM Band allocation. LBT (Listen Before Talk) is required in some regions to prevent signal collisions by checking channel availability before transmission. The gateway automatically enables or disables LBT based on the selected country. WisGateOS 2 provides a predefined country table to ensure compliance with regional transmission rules, including power limits, frequency plans, and LBT enforcement where applicable. | |
| Open/Close Port | Allows adding or removing packet traffic management rules for specific IPs from designated subnets to communicate through the gateway's ports. | |
| Solar Battery | Provides real-time operational data of the gateway's solar battery, including performance metrics, health status, cycle period, battery capacity, and charging/discharging modes. | Compatible with any WisGateOS 2 gateway equipped with solar power systems. |
| WireGuard | A fast and efficient VPN protocol, offering better performance than traditional options like OpenVPN. This extension enables WireGuard VPN on RAKwireless gateways. | |
| OpenVPN Client | Allows the gateway to connect to a VPN server, enabling secure communication with customer devices via Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or LTE. For LTE, ensure the gateway has a static public IP. | |
| Operation and Maintenance | A tool for managing device operations, including scheduled reboots and automatic recovery of the 4G network connection through cellular module restart. | Compatible with WisGateOS 2 2.2.X and later. |
| Field Test Data Processor | This extension provides backend computing services for Field Tester, enabling data retrieval and visualization. It subscribes to the LoRaWAN network server via MQTT, supporting both the built-in server in RAK gateways and third-party LoRaWAN servers. Users can view and download Field Tester measurement data within the extension. | Compatible with WisGateOS 2 2.2.X and later. |
| Failover Reboot | Monitors all network connections (LTE/Ethernet/Wi-Fi) and triggers a reboot to restore connectivity if all links go offline. | Compatible with WisGateOS 2 2.2.X and later. |
| Wi-Fi Reboot | This extension monitors Wi-Fi connectivity by periodically sending ping and httping requests to specified targets. If all tests consistently fail, it will trigger a Wi-Fi module reboot, and escalate to a full system reboot if necessary. | Compatible with WisGateOS 2 2.2.X and later. |
