1. Typical Network Setup

259

11. Overview

260

261

The DLOS8N supports flexible network set up for different environments. This section describes the typical network topology. The network set up includes:

262

263

* **WAN Port Internet Mode**

264

* **WiFi Client Mode**

* **WiFi AP Mode**

* **Cellular Mode**

1.

11. Use WAN port to access Internet

271

272

By default, the DLOS8N is set to use the WAN port to connect to an upstream network. When you connect the DLOS8N’s WAN port to an upstream router, DLOS8N will get an IP address from the router and have Internet access via the upstream router. The network status can be checked in the **home page**:

273

11. Access the Internet as a WiFi Client.

282

283

In the WiFi Client Mode, DLOS8N acts as a WiFi client and gets DHCP from an upstream router via WiFi.

284

285

286

The settings for WiFi Client is under page **System à WiFi ** **à WiFi WAN Client Settings**

287

288

11. Add a LoRaWAN End Device

453

454

This section shows how to add a LoRaWAN End device to a LoRaWAN network and see the data from TTN web site.

455

456

457

We use [[LT-22222-L>>url:http://www.dragino.com/products/lora-lorawan-end-node/item/156-lt-22222-l.html]] IO Controller as a reference device - the setup for other LoRaWAN devices will be similar.

458

459

460

[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image034.jpg]]

461

462

**Step 1**: Create a Device definition in TTN v3 with the OTAA keys from the example LT-22222-L IO Controller device.

463

464

465

Three codes are required to define the device in TTN v3:

466

467

* DEV EUI - Unique ID code for a particular device.

468

* APP EUI - ID code for an Application defined in TTN v3.

469

* APP Key - Unique key to secure communications with a particular device.

470

471

A set of these codes are stored in each device by the manufacturer as the default codes for that particular device. Each device is shipped with a sticker with the default Device EUI as shown below.

472

473

474

[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image035.png]]

475

476

477

Note: You may be able to change these codes in a device by using a configuration facility on the device e.g. the LT-22222 uses a serial port access and a series of AT commands. Changing the codes may be necessary in the case where you have to use codes assigned by a LoRa WAN server.

478

479

480

For the TTN v3 server, you can use the codes set in the device as in the following example.

481

482

483

Select **Add Application** to open the screen below.

484

485

1. Linux System

The DLOS8N is based on the OpenWrt Linux system. It is open source, and users are free to configure and modify the Linux settings.

837

838

1.

839

11. SSH Access for Linux console

840

841

User can access the Linux console via the SSH protocol. Make sure your PC and the DLOS8N are connected to the same network, then use a SSH tool (such as [[putty>>url:http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~~sgtatham/putty/download.html]] in Windows) to access it.

842

843

844

IP address: IP address of DLOS8N

845

846

Port: 22 (via WiFi AP mode) or 2222 (via WAN Interface)

User Name: **root**

Password: **dragino** (default)

851

852

853

After logging in, you will be in the Linux console and can enter commands as shown below.

854

855

856

[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image064.png]]

857

858

859

The “logread -f” command can be used to debug how system runs.

860

861

1.

11. Edit and Transfer files

868

869

The DLOS8N supports the **SCP protocol** and has a built-in **SFTP server**. There are many ways to edit and transfer files using these protocols.

870

871

872

In Windows, one of the easiest methods is using the [[WinSCP>>url:https://winscp.net/eng/index.php]] utility.

873

874

After establishing access via WinSCP to the device, you can use an FTP style window to drag / drop files to the DLOS8N, or edit the files directly in the windows.

875

876

877

Screenshot is as below:

878

879

[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image066.png]]

1.

11. File System

The DLOS8N has a 16MB flash and a 64MB RAM. The /var and /tmp directories are in the RAM, so contents stored in /tmp and /var will be erased after rebooting the device. Other directories are in the flash and will remain after reboot.

886

887

888

The Linux system uses around 8MB ~~10MB flash size which means there is not much room for user to store data in the DLOS8N flash.

889

890

You can use an external USB flash memory device to extend the size of flash memory for storage.

1.

11. Package maintenance system

897

898

DLOS8N uses the OpenWrt [[OPKG package maint>>url:https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/techref/opkg]][[e>>url:https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/techref/opkg]][[n>>url:https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/techref/opkg]][[ance>>url:https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/techref/opkg]][[ system>>url:https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/techref/opkg]]. There are more than 3000+ packages available in our package server for users to install for their applications. For example, if you want to add the **//iperf //** tool, you can install the related packages and configure DLOS8N to use **//iperf //**.

899

900

901

Below are some example **//opkg //** commands. For more information please refer to the [[OPKG package maintain system>>url:https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/techref/opkg]]** **([[https:~~/~~/wiki.openwrt.org/doc/techref/opkg>>url:https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/techref/opkg]])

902

903

904

In Linux Console run:

905

906

**root@dragino-169d30:~~# opkg update** ~/~/ to get the latest packages list

907

908

**root@dragino-169d30:~~# opkg list** ~/~/shows the available packages

909

910

**root@dragino-169d30:~~# opkg install iperf **~/~/ install iperf

911

912

The system will automatically install the required packages as shown below.

913

914

915

//root@dragino-169d30:/etc/opkg# opkg install iperf//

11. Can I connect DLOS8N to LORIOT?

944

945

Yes, the set up instruction is here: [[http:~~/~~/wiki.dragino.com/index.php?title=Notes_for_LORIOT>>url:http://wiki.dragino.com/index.php?title=Notes_for_LORIOT]]

1.

11. Can I make my own firmware for the gateway, where can I find the source code?

950

951

Yes, You can make your own firmware for the DLOS8N for branding purposes or to add customized applications.

952

953

The source code and compile instructions can be found at: [[https:~~/~~/github.com/dragino/openwrt_lede-18.06>>url:https://github.com/dragino/openwrt_lede-18.06]]

1.

11. Can I use 868Mhz version for 915Mhz bands?

958

959

It is possible but the distance will be very short, you can select US915 frequency band in 868Mhz version hardware. It will work but you will see the performance is greatly decreased because the 868Mhz version has an RF filter for band 863~~870Mhz, all other frequencies will have high attenuation.

1. Trouble Shooting

11. I get kernel error when install new package, how to fix?

966

967

In some cases, when installing a package with **//opkg//**, it will generate a kernel error such as below due to a mismatch I the kernel ID:

968

969

970

root@dragino-16c538:~~# opkg install kmod-dragino2-si3217x_3.10.49+0.2-1_ar71xx.ipk

971

972

Installing kmod-dragino2-si3217x (3.10.49+0.2-1) to root…

Collected errors:

~* satisfy_dependencies_for: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for kmod-dragino2-si3217x:

977

978

* kernel (= 3.10.49-1-4917516478a753314254643facdf360a) *

979

980

~* opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package kmod-dragino2-si3217x.

981

982

983

In this case, you can use the –force-depends option to install such package as long as the actual kernel version is the same.

984

985

Opkg install kmod-dragino2-si3217x_3.10.49+0.2-1_ar71xx.ipk –force-depends

11. I configured DLOS8N for WiFi access and lost its IP. What to do now?

1001

1002

[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image067.png]]

1003

1004

The DLOS8N has a fall-back IP address on its WAN port. This IP is always enabled so you can use the fall-back IP to access DLOS8N no matter what the WiFi IP is. The fall back IP is useful for connecting and debug the unit.

1005

1006

(Note: fallback IP can be disabled in the WAN and DHCP page)

1007

1008

1009

Steps to connect via fall back IP:

1010

1011

1. Connect PC’s Ethernet port to DLOS8N’s WAN port

1012

1. Configure PC’s Ethernet port has

1013

IP: 172.31.255.253 and
