24 This is a standard LoRaWAN connection. Gateway will forward all end nodes' data to LoRaWAN server. The LoRaWAN server stores the sensor data and communicate with Application server. The Application server in charge for data process for different industrial solutions.

35 * Gateway set up instruction to LoRaWAN server. [[Gateway User Manual>>https://www.dragino.com/downloads/downloads/LoRa_Gateway/LG308-LG301/LG308_LoRaWAN_Gateway_User_Manual_v1.4.2.pdf]]
36 * Examples free public LoRaWAN server is: [[The Things Network>>url:https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/]].
37 * TTN provides the [[integration instruction>>url:https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/docs/applications/integrations.html]] for how to connect to Application servers.

46 Basically, this is the same network topology as above, except users build the LoRaWAN server themselves. Below are two open source LoRaWAN servers commonly used:

53 (((
54 Please note LoRaWAN server is for managing device and store sensor data, you still need to link the LoRaWAN server to an application server for your IoT solution to better analize the data and show to final clients.

56
57
58 = 4. Case 3: Standard LoRaWAN connection~-~- use Gateway built-in LoRaWAN server to connect to external IoT server =
59
60 **Application Scenario**:
61
62 * There is already IoT server but no LoRaWAN server.
63 * Not willing to use public LoRaWAN server nor built own LoRaWAN server.
64 *
65
66 **Suitable Gateway:**
67
68 * LoRaWAN Gateway model: LPS8v2.
69
70 **How it works:**
71
72 * a) LPS8v2 already includes a LoRaWAN server (TTN Stack v3). Enable this server in Web UI.
73 * b) Input End Nodes keys in LPS8v2 LoRaWAN server.
74 * c) Configure LPS8v2, End Node and LoRaWAN server frequency plan.
75 * d) Configure local LoRaWAN server to forward data to external Application Server.

81 = 5. Case 4: Standard LoRaWAN connection~-~- use Gateway built-in LoRaWAN server and IoT server =
82
83 **Application Scenario**:
84
85 * No cloud IoT Server or LoRaWAN server
86 * Not willing to use public LoRaWAN server nor built own LoRaWAN server.

89 **Suitable Gateway:**
90
91 * LoRaWAN Gateway model: LPS8v2.

95 * a) LPS8v2 already includes a LoRaWAN server (TTN Stack v3). Enable this server in Web UI.
96 * b) Input End Nodes keys in LPS8v2 LoRaWAN server.
97 * c) Configure LPS8v2, End Node and LoRaWAN server frequency plan.
98 * d) Configure IoT server (Node-Red) in LPS8v2

103
104 = 6. Case 5: Standard LoRaWAN connection~-~- without LoRaWAN server, use ABP LoRaWAN End node =
105
106 Recommend using Case3 as a replacement.
107
108 Below gateways support this mode:
109
110 * LoRaWAN Gateway model: [[LPS8>>url:http://www.dragino.com/products/lora-lorawan-gateway/item/148-lps8.html]], [[LG308>>url:http://www.dragino.com/products/lora-lorawan-gateway/item/140-lg308.html]], [[DLOS8>>url:http://www.dragino.com/products/lora-lorawan-gateway/item/160-dlos8.html]]
111
112 How it works:
113
114 * a) LoRaWAN End Nodes runs ABP mode
115 * b) No LoRaWAN server involved.
116 * c) Gateway stores keys from node and decode end nodes' data locally
117 * d) Gateway sends end node data to Application Server.

123 LoRaWAN connection without LoRaWAN server
124
125
126 = 7. Case 6: None standard LoRaWAN connection~-~- without LoRaWAN server, none standard LoRaWAN protocol, no security =
127
128 This method is to encryption part from LoRaWAN protocol and make the server side simple.

136
137 = 8. Case 7: Private LoRa connection~-~- without LoRaWAN server, use Raw LoRa protocol =
138
139 Below gateways support this mode:
140
141 * LoRaWAN Gateway model: [[LG01-N>>url:http://www.dragino.com/products/lora-lorawan-gateway/item/143-lg01n.html]], [[OLG01-N>>url:http://www.dragino.com/products/lora-lorawan-gateway/item/144-olg01n.html]], [[LG02>>url:http://www.dragino.com/products/lora-lorawan-gateway/item/135-lg02.html]], [[OLG02>>url:http://www.dragino.com/products/lora-lorawan-gateway/item/136-olg02.html]]
142
143 How it works:
144
145 * a) LoRa End Node send Raw LoRa packet base on pre-define format
146 * b) No LoRaWAN server involved.
147 * c) Gateway parse the packet and get sensor ID and data.
148 * d) Gateway sends these data to Application Server.
