4.4 Add a LoRaWAN End Device

383

384

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

385

386

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.

387

388

[[image:1652422794767-871.png]]

389

390

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

391

392

393

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

394

395

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

396

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

397

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

398

399

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.

400

401

402

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

403

404

405

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.

406

407

408

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

409

410

411

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

412

413

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

421

422

Select OTAA activation mode

423

424

425

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.

426

427

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

428

429

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

430

431

432

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

433

434

Secondly, choose the corresponding frequency and LoRaWAN class capabilities.

435

436

437

[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image040.png]]

438

439

Finally, Application layer settings input the corresponding AppKey. Before saving the configuration, check that the data matches the device.

440

441

442

**Step 2**: Power on LT-22222-L device and it will automatically join the TTN network. After joining successfully, it will start to upload messages to the TTN v3. Select the Live data tab and you will see the data appearing in the panel.

443

444

445

Note that it may take some time for the device data to appear in the TTN v3 display.

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.

765

766

1.

767

11. SSH Access for Linux console

768

769

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.

770

771

772

IP address: IP address of DLOS8N

773

774

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

User Name: **root**

Password: **dragino** (default)

779

780

781

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

782

783

784

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

1.

11. Edit and Transfer files

796

797

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.

798

799

800

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

801

802

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.

803

804

805

Screenshot is as below:

806

807

[[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.

814

815

816

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.

817

818

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

1.

11. Package maintenance system

825

826

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 //**.

827

828

829

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]])

830

831

832

In Linux Console run:

833

834

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

835

836

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

837

838

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

839

840

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

841

842

843

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

11. Can I connect DLOS8N to LORIOT?

870

871

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?

876

877

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

878

879

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?

884

885

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?

892

893

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:

894

895

896

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

897

898

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:

903

904

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

905

906

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

907

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

927

928

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

929

930

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.

931

932

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

933

934

935

Steps to connect via fall back IP:

936

937

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

938

1. Configure PC’s Ethernet port has

939

IP: 172.31.255.253 and

940

Netmask: 255.255.255.252

As below photo:

[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image068.jpg]]

945

946

1. In the PC, use IP address 172.31.255.254 to access the DLOS8N via Web or Console.

947
