== 4.1 Configure Packet Forwarder ==

225

226

227

In the Dragino gateway web interface, you need to configure the Packet Forwarder so that it forwards its data to the port. localhost:1700 or 127.0.0.1:1700

228

229

* In the (% style="color:blue" %)**LoRaWAN** (%%)menu, click on (% style="color:blue" %)**LoRaWAN ~-~- Semtech UDP**

253

**1）Generate the gateway-bridge configuration file**

254

255

By default, the configuration file is not up-to-date,so the user needs to rebuild the gateway-bridge configuration file.

256

257

Users need to access the command line of the gateway through SSH,Then type the following command:

258

259

(% class="box infomessage" %)

260

(((

261

**/opt/chirpstack-gateway-bridge/chirpstack-gateway-bridge configfile > /etc/chirpstack-gateway-bridge/chirpstack-gateway-bridge.toml **

)))

**2）modify the gateway-bridge configuration file**

266

267

The user needs to modify the server address in line 252 in the configuration file

268

269

(% class="box infomessage" %)

270

[[image:image-20230415165254-1.png||height="583" width="956"]]

== 4.4 Debug ==

After the above configuration is completed, the user can enter the command to debug the gateway-bridge connection

281

282

(% class="box infomessage" %)

283

284

**/opt/chirpstack-gateway-bridge/chirpstack-gateway-bridge ~-~-config /etc/chirpstack-gateway-bridge/chirpstack-gateway-bridge.toml**

285

)))

286

287

If the gateway-bridge connection is normal, the debug log displays **"connected to mqtt broker"**.

288

289

[[image:image-20230415170404-2.png]]

290

291

292

If the debug log shows "**connection error**", check that the server port or server is correct

= 8. How to store/get all data traffic for a specific sensor, including raw payload, and uplink/ downlink history. =

756

757

758

All data is published to the MQTT topics. if you want to store/get the data, you would have to create an MQTT handler and store the data yourself.

759

760

This example will be shown how to store/get all the data in two ways:

761

762

(% style="color:blue" %)**//1). Chirpstack ~-~-> Node-red//**

763

764

765

[[image:image-20221012184501-1.png]]

766

767

768

Use MQTT in Nore-red to subscribe to topics published by the chirpstack-application and then continuously write to a file

782

783

If you don't want to store the information via node-red, you can get the output via the subscribe command.

784

785

786

**If connecting from the same machine, you can use the following command to receive data:**

= 9. Example: Use Local Server ChirpStack and Node-Red in LPS8v2 =

804

805

806

LPS8v2 includes a local ChirpStack Server and Node-Red. This example shows how to configure LHT65N to use with the local Node-Red server. This example assumes users already have:

807

808

* LHT65N register on LPS8v2 Built-In ChirpStack server already

809

* The user is able to see the data on the built-in ChirpStack server device page.

810

811

Below are the steps to plot the sensor data on LPS8v2 Node-Red.

812

813

814

== 9.1 Link Node-Red to Local ChirpStack ==

815

816

817

Users can download the Node-Red decoder from this link and import it into the Node-Red platform: **[[attach:LHT65N-ChirpStack-node-red.json||target="_blank"]]**

818

819

For more information on importing Input Flow, check out this link: **[[Import Input Flow for Dragino Sensors>>url:http://wiki.dragino.com/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Node-RED/#H3.A0ImportInputFlowforDraginoSensors]]**

820

821

After importing the Input Flow is complete, the user needs to edit the MQTT in the node

822

823

824

(% style="color:blue" %)**1. Change the Topic**

825

826

Topic modifies it to the following format:

**application/(% style="color:red" %)Application ID(%%)/device/(% style="color:red" %)End device ID(%%)/event/up**
