398 This section shows how to add a LoRaWAN End device to a LoRaWAN network and see the data from TTN web site.
399
400 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.
401
402 [[image:1652422794767-871.png]]
403
404 (% 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.
405
406 Three codes are required to define the device in TTN v3:
407
408 * DEV EUI - Unique ID code for a particular device.
409 * APP EUI - ID code for an Application defined in TTN v3.
410 * APP Key - Unique key to secure communications with a particular device.
411
412 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.
413
414 [[image:1652422840936-838.png]]
415
416
417 (% 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.
418
419 For the TTN v3 server, you can use the codes set in the device as in the following example.
420
421 Select **Add Application** to open the screen below.
422

430
431 Select OTAA activation mode
432
433
434 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.
435
436 [[image:1652422998005-968.png||height="352" width="744"]]
437
438 First, input the End device ID, AppEUI and DevEUI.
439
440 [[image:1652423022781-339.png||height="365" width="741"]]
441
442 Secondly, choose the corresponding frequency and LoRaWAN class capabilities.
443
444 [[image:1652423046741-467.png||height="355" width="736"]]
445
446 Finally, Application layer settings input the corresponding AppKey. Before saving the configuration, check that the data matches the device.
447
448
449 (% style="color:#4f81bd" %)**Step 2**: (% style="color:black" %)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.

487 The DLOS8N can communicate with LoRaWAN ABP End Node without the need of LoRaWAN server. It can be used in some cases such as:
488
489 * No internet connection.
490 * User wants to get data forward in gateway and forward to their server based on MQTT/HTTP, etc. (Combine ABP communication method and [[MQTT forward together>>http://8.211.40.43:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/MQTT%20Forward%20Instruction/]]).

729 = 7. Linux System =
730
731 The DLOS8N is based on the OpenWrt Linux system. It is open source, and users are free to configure and modify the Linux settings.
732
733 == 7.1 SSH Access for Linux console ==
734
735 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.
736
737 IP address:  IP address of DLOS8N

753
754 == 7.2 Edit and Transfer files ==
755
756 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.
757
758 In Windows, one of the easiest methods is using the [[WinSCP>>url:https://winscp.net/eng/index.php]] utility.
759
760 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.
761
762 Screenshot is as below:
763
764 [[image:1652431650755-450.png]]
765
766
767 == 7.3 File System ==
768
769 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.
770
771 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.
772
773 You can use an external USB flash memory device to extend the size of flash memory for storage.
774
775
776 == 7.4 Package maintenance system ==
777
778 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 //**.
779
780 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]])

842
843
844 == 9.3 Can I make my own firmware for the gateway, where can I find the source code? ==
845
846 Yes, You can make your own firmware for the DLOS8N for branding purposes or to add customized applications.
847
848 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]]
849
850
851 == 9.4 Can I use 868Mhz version for 915Mhz bands? ==
852
853 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.

887
888 [[image:1652435238615-272.png||height="247" width="727"]]
889
890 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.
891
892 (% style="color:red" %)Note: fallback IP can be disabled in the WAN and DHCP page.
893
894
895 Steps to connect via fall back IP:
896
897 ~1. Connect PC’s Ethernet port to DLOS8N’s WAN port
898
899 2. Configure PC’s Ethernet port has
900 IP: 172.31.255.253 and
901 Netmask: 255.255.255.252
902
903 As below photo:
904
905 [[image:1652435256286-879.png]]
906
907 3. In the PC, use IP address 172.31.255.254 to access the DLOS8N via Web or Console.
908
909 Please note the latest firmware uses port 8000 for http and 2222 for ssh access.
