There are three types of hotspots that can connect to Helium. They are (% style="color:#4f81bd" %)**full-hotspot**(%%), (% style="color:#4f81bd" %)**light hotspot** (%%)and (% style="color:#4f81bd" %)**data-only hotspot**(%%). Definition of these three types of hotspots can be found here: [[of Helium Hotspots>>url:https://docs.helium.com/mine-hnt%7CTypes]]. Different hotspots support different mining abilities.

* Firmware Requirement: > [[lgw~~-~~-build-v5.4.1640315898>>url:https://www.dragino.com/downloads/index.php?dir=LoRa_Gateway/LPS8/Firmware/Release/]]

42

43

== 2.2 Step 1: Configure Frequency Band ==

44

45

46

Each country has a requirement for frequency region. Choose the right one for your area.

== 2.3 Step 2: Download the Helium-gateway-rs ==

52

53

54

Click Download Helium Server and the gateway will download the Helium-gateway-rs

Click (% style="color:blue" %)**Install Helium Server**(%%) to install gateway-rs.

76

77

[[image:image-20220615150734-4.png||height="619" width="1035"]]

81

82

(% style="color:red" %)**Note: User will see the echo characters of Helium gateway-rs have been installed successfully.**

83

84

85

== 2.5 Step 4: Save&start the Helium Server ==

86

87

88

By default, Region is US915, After configuring the Configure Frequency Band, click Save&Apply on the Helium IoT screen to modify the Region.

89

91

[[image:image-20220615150903-5.png||height="592" width="1031"]]

Click (% style="color:red" %)**Save&Apply**(%%) and gateway will start to connect the Helium. The UI shows the connect status.

== 2.6 Step 5: Check Gateway Connection before onboarding ==

101

102

103

A hotspot can transfer data to Helium after finishing step4. We can add a device to Helium and see if the device can join Helium. For example, we add an LGT92 sensor and see below info.

104

105

(((

106

Check end device event from [[Helium Console>>url:https://staging-console.helium.wtf/]], We can see the LGT92 data arrived Helium via our hotspot.

112

(% style="color:red" %)**Note: The hotspot is not valid for search in Helium Console before onboarding.**

113

114

115

== 2.7 Step 6: Onboarding Data-Only Hotspot ==

116

117

118

**After the Helium Network was successfully migrated to the Solana blockchain on April 18, 2023, 9 am PST (16:00 UTC). the onboarding for data-only hotspots is not quite yet**

119

120

**Now the users are able to connect the helium console with a data-only hotspot without any onboarding.**

121

122

123

(% style="color:red" %)--**Note: Onboarding a Data-Only hotspot is necessary for downlink to work. otherwise, the downlink message for LoRa won't work .**--

124

125

126

--User can refer [[this link>>url:https://docs.helium.com/mine-hnt/data-only-hotspots]] for how to onboarding a data-only hotspot. After onboarding the data-only hotspot, user can see the hotspot on Helium Console.--

127

--Below are the steps we do as per above link here.--

//**The Data-only hotspot has finished the software installation and confirmation, But it is not connecting to Helium Console. The possibility is:**//

634

635

636

1). The hotspot does not finish the onboarding to the helium blockchain.

637

638

after the 23 version of the gateway-rs, Helium requests the user to onboarding the devices to the blockchain, otherwise, your devices can't connect to the helium console. ~-~--> Please refer to [[Step 2.7>>http://wiki.dragino.com/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Notes%20for%20Helium/#H2.7A0Step6:OnboardingData-OnlyHotspot]] to do it.

639

640

641

=== 3.5.2 End Device can't join Helium via hotspot, stuck in cycle of Joining-Accept. ===

642

643

644

Make sure your blockchain region is the same as your hotspot settings. For example, as below, the blockchain is CN region, and software is configure to EU. The hotspot is able to get the OTAA Join Request from End Device on EU region. but due to block chain is CN region, Server will send the Join -Accept in CN region, so end device can't get the OTAA Join Accept.

645

646

647

For example, if you are in USA, you have to use the US915 frequency plan. More frequency plans details on the helium network: [[https:~~/~~/docs.helium.com/lorawan-on-helium/frequency-plans>>url:https://docs.helium.com/lorawan-on-helium/frequency-plans]]

=== 3.5.3 Trouble to Join Helium ===

(((

**//Assume the device is powered correctly. If you don't see data in Helium. The possibilities are~://**

)))

(((

1) You are out of Helium Gateway coverage. (If you have other end nodes, you can check whether they work and what is the signal strength you see in the platform)

)))

(((

2) Your end node frequency band doesn't match the Helium gateway frequency band. (Please double-check if frequency band matches)

3) You have input the wrong keys into Helium Platform ( You can send us the screenshots for the keys and Dragino support team can check for you)

=== 3.5.4 Packet Loss for AU915 / US915 Band ===

(((

The node working on the AU915/US915 frequency has packet loss or the frequency channel and the gateway channel are different.

)))

(((

The reason for this problem is that the node does not lock the channel after joining the network.

)))

(((

(% style="color:red" %)**Solution:**

)))

(((

(1) If the user does not have a device to upgrade the firmware, you can use the AT+CHE command or the downlink command to set the channel. It is best to turn off the adaptive rate (ADR).Reset the device after setting the channel.

)))

* (((

(% style="color:blue" %)**AT Command: AT+CHE**

)))

* (((

**Example: ** (% style="color:#037691" %)**AT+CHE=2**(%%) ~/~/set channel mode to 1

)))

* (((

(% style="color:blue" %)**Downlink Command: 0x24**

)))

(((

Format: Command Code (0x24) followed by 1 bytes channel value.

)))

(((

If the downlink payload=0x2402, it means set channel mode to use sub-band 2, while type code is 24.

)))

* (((

**Example 1**: Downlink Payload: (% style="color:#037691" %)**0x2402** (%%) ~/~/ set channel mode to 2

)))

(((

(2) If the user has a device to upgrade the firmware, it is better to upgrade the device to the latest version. The latest version has fixed the problem that the AU915/US915 frequency does not lock the channel.

)))

(((

The latest firmware for end node will have this bug fixed.
