2. Go to your computer and find your gateway IP:
– Locate your gateway IP address by checking your router settings
– Locate your gateway IP address by installing a free network IP scanner like Advanced IP Scanner
3. Download WinSCP app on a PC connected in the same network as the CotX1
Open WinSCP > New Session> New Site
Choose SCP as the protocol.
Enter the IP address of your CotX1 device (which you can find using an IP scanner) and port number 22.
Username: root
Password: b163b9 (the last 6 symbols from MAC address, shown on IP scanner as well)
4. Find your gateway ID
Once you’re logged in, navigate to helium/lora_net/
packet_forwarder folder.
Open the global_conf.json file and search for the gateway _ID. This can be found near the end of the file.
Copy the ID and close the file without saving any changes.
For example:
“gateway _cont”: {
“gateway_/0”: “60fb00ffffec64a2”
5. Next, we need to forward communication to the cloud server.
Go back to the root folder and navigate to udp_fwd folder.
Open fwd_conf.json file and edit the following fields:
Server address: enter one of the four addresses listed below, based on your region:
lora-us.crankk.io
lora-eu.crankk.io
lora-cn.crankk.io
lora-au.crankk.io
• Port Up: 1700
• Port Down: 1700
Save the changes and exit WinSCP
2) User Dashboard setup
6. Assign your gateway ID to a wallet in the User Dashboard.
Visit https://dashboard.crankk.io and sign in into your account.
Navigate to the Wallets section and select the wallet that you want to use for your software license activation. Please note that a positive KDA balance in your wallet is required for the successful assignment of the gateway.
Assign your gateway ID to the chosen wallet by clicking on the Assign button. If you don’t see such a button, it means you haven’t purchased a software license for this wallet.
Select your gateway Model, copy and paste your Gateway ID (please double-check that it is correct) and hit the Submit button.
Please wait a few minutes to allow the changes to sync to the blockchain.
7. Participate in Proof-of-Trust as PoNP node
Network Participation is a mandatory requirement for all gateways onboarded into Crankk, in order to receive rewards. It requires staking $100 worth of CRKK tokens.
Those funds remain yours, and if you decide to discontinue participation, you can fully withdraw them after a period of one year.
If you don’t have those tokens, just transfer an equal amount of KDA coins to your wallet. Then, use the dashboard’s DEX to swap them for CRKK tokens. After swapping, make sure there’s enough KDA in your wallet left to cover transaction fees.
Be cautious, especially if it’s your first time using a DEX. A recommended approach is to begin trading with small amounts.
To complete this process:
⦁ Log in to the User Dashboard.
⦁ Navigate to Gateways and select your specific gateway.
⦁ Click on Proof-of-Trust.
⦁ Next to the “Network Participation” tab, you will find the current amount of CRKK tokens required for staking. Simply press the green Participate button.
It’s important to note that the staking value remains constant at $100. The only variable is the quantity of CRKK tokens that need to be staked. If you lack the necessary tokens for staking, our DEX offers the option to exchange KDA coins for CRKK tokens.
To set your gateway location you need to:
⦁ Navigate to your gateway in the User Dashboard.
⦁ Scroll down below the Rank Percentage section until you find the Location tab.
⦁ Unlock your wallet by entering the correct password.
⦁ Click on Set Location.
⦁ Zoom out using the scroll wheel on your mouse.
⦁ Select the desired gateway location.
⦁ Click Submit.
