1.2	10	The Dragino LoRaWAN gateway can commuicate with LoRaWAN ABP End Node without the need of LoRaWAN server. It can be used in some cases such as:
1.1	11
1.2	12	* No internet connection.
21.3	13
14.2	14	* User wants to get data forward in gateway and forward to their server base on MQTT/HTTP, etc. (Combine ABP communication method and [[MQTT forward together>>MQTT Forward Instruction]]).

1.3	148	=== 2.2.2 How to Decode My End Node ===
1.2	149
14.8	150
16.2	151	1. Configure the ABP keys for your end node in the gateway. enable ABP decode in Web UI
1.2	152
16.2	153	2. Don't choose MQTT service, use LoRaWAN.
1.2	154
16.2	155	3. When your end node send a message to the gateway, there will be a file store in /var/iot/channels. full path should be /var/iot/channels/END_NODE_DEV_ADDR
1.2	156
16.2	157	4. Use the /etc/lora/decoder/Dragino_LHT65 as template to decode your payload. This script is written in Lua language. User can manually call this script when you see the data file in /var/iot/channels by running:
1.2	158
	159	{{{/etc/lora/decoder/Dragino_LHT65 END_NODE_DEV_ADDR
	160	}}}
	161
16.2	162	5. What you see as output is the MQTT data device will upload, user's end node has different payload compare with LHT65, most properly this file will report with error. User need to modify to match the actual payload.
1.2	163
16.2	164
	165	(% style="color:red" %)
	166	Some notice:
	167
1.2	168	* RSSI and SNR are added when gateway receive the packet, so there is always this field.
21.3	169
1.2	170	* If you rename the file, please make it executable.

	327	# ( The purpose of this step is to show that the Device2 has already do the change there).
	328	#
	329	# For example: If current status of Device1 and Device2 leds shows:
