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

(% style="color:#4f81bd" %)**Step 1**: (% style="color:black" %)Create a Device definition in TTN v3 with the OTAA keys from the example LT-22222-L IO Controller device.

391

392

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

393

394

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

395

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

396

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

397

398

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.

399

400

[[image:1652422840936-838.png]]

401

402

403

(% style="color:red" %)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.

404

405

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

406

407

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

= 7. 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.

718

719

== 7.1 SSH Access for Linux console ==

720

721

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.

722

723

IP address: IP address of DLOS8N

724

725

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

726

727

User Name: (% style="color:green" %)**root**

728

729

Password: (% style="color:green" %)**dragino** (% style="color:black" %)(default)

730

731

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

732

733

[[image:1652431588565-830.png]]

734

735

The “(% class="mark" %)**logread -f**(%%)” command can be used to debug how system runs.

738

739

740

== 7.2 Edit and Transfer files ==

741

742

The DLOS8N supports the (% style="color:green" %)**SCP protocol** (% style="color:black" %)and has a built-in (% style="color:green" %)**SFTP server**. (% style="color:black" %)There are many ways to edit and transfer files using these protocols.

743

744

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

745

746

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.

747

748

Screenshot is as below:

749

750

[[image:1652431650755-450.png]]

751

752

753

== 7.3 File System ==

754

755

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.

756

757

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.

758

759

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

760

761

762

== 7.4 Package maintenance system ==

763

764

DLOS8N uses the OpenWrt [[**OPKG package maintenance system**>>https://oldwiki.archive.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 //**.

765

766

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

767

768

**In Linux Console run:**

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]]

828

829

830

== 9.3 Can I make my own firmware for the gateway, where can I find the source code? ==

831

832

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

833

834

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]]

835

836

837

== 9.4 Can I use 868Mhz version for 915Mhz bands? ==

838

839

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.

== 10.3 I configured DLOS8N for WiFi access and lost its IP. What to do now? ==

873

874

[[image:1652435238615-272.png||height="247" width="727"]]

875

876

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.

877

878

(% style="color:red" %)Note: fallback IP can be disabled in the WAN and DHCP page.

879

880

881

Steps to connect via fall back IP:

882

883

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

884

885

2. Configure PC’s Ethernet port has

886

IP: 172.31.255.253 and

887

Netmask: 255.255.255.252

As below photo:

[[image:1652435256286-879.png]]

892

893

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

894

895

Please note the latest firmware uses port 8000 for http and 2222 for ssh access.
