11. Add a LoRaWAN End Device

433

434

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

435

436

437

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.

438

439

440

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

441

442

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

443

444

445

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

446

447

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

448

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

449

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

450

451

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.

452

453

454

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

455

456

457

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.

458

459

460

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

461

462

463

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

464

465

[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image036.png]]

473

474

Select OTAA activation mode

475

476

477

The LoRaWAN version for your device should be provided by the manufacturer in a datasheet as LoRaWAN version or LoRaWAN specification. The most commonly used LoRaWAN versions are v1.0.2 and v1.0.3.

478

479

[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image038.png]]

480

481

First, input the End device ID, AppEUI and DevEUI.

482

483

484

[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image039.png]]

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.

817

818

1.

819

11. SSH Access for Linux console

820

821

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.

822

823

824

IP address: IP address of DLOS8N

825

826

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

User Name: **root**

Password: **dragino** (default)

831

832

833

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

834

835

836

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

837

838

839

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

841

[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image065.png]]

1.

11. Edit and Transfer files

848

849

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.

850

851

852

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

853

854

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.

855

856

857

Screenshot is as below:

858

859

[[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.

866

867

868

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.

869

870

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

1.

11. Package maintenance system

877

878

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 //**.

879

880

881

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]])

882

883

884

In Linux Console run:

885

886

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

887

888

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

889

890

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

891

892

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

893

894

895

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

11. Can I connect DLOS8N to LORIOT?

924

925

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?

930

931

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

932

933

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?

938

939

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?

946

947

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:

948

949

950

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

951

952

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:

957

958

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

959

960

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

961

962

963

985

986

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

987

988

989

Steps to connect via fall back IP:

990

991

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

992

1. Configure PC’s Ethernet port has

993
