396 11. Add a LoRaWAN End Device
397
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
401 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.
402
403
404 [[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image034.jpg]]
405
406 **Step 1**: Create a Device definition in TTN v3 with the OTAA keys from the example LT-22222-L IO Controller device.
407
408
409 Three codes are required to define the device in TTN v3:
410
411 * DEV EUI - Unique ID code for a particular device.
412 * APP EUI - ID code for an Application defined in TTN v3.
413 * APP Key - Unique key to secure communications with a particular device.
414
415 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.
416
417
418 [[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image035.png]]
419
420
421 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.
422
423
424 For the TTN v3 server, you can use the codes set in the device as in the following example.
425
426
427 Select **Add Application** to open the screen below.
428
429 [[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image036.png]]
430
431 Open the **Application **select** Add end device**
432
433
434 Start Register the end device
435
436 [[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image037.png]]
437
438 Select OTAA activation mode
439
440
441 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.
442
443 [[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image038.png]]
444
445 First, input the End device ID, AppEUI and DevEUI.
446
447
448 [[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image039.png]]
449
450 Secondly, choose the corresponding frequency and LoRaWAN class capabilities.
451
452
453 [[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image040.png]]
454
455 Finally, Application layer settings input the corresponding AppKey. Before saving the configuration, check that the data matches the device.
456
457
458 **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.
459
460
461 Note that it may take some time for the device data to appear in the TTN v3 display.

508 The DLOS8N can communicate with LoRaWAN ABP End Node without the need of LoRaWAN server. It can be used in some cases such as:
509
510 * No internet connection.
511 * 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>>url:http://wiki.dragino.com/index.php?title=MQTT_Forward_Instruction]]).

778 1. Linux System
779
780 The DLOS8N is based on the OpenWrt Linux system. It is open source, and users are free to configure and modify the Linux settings.
781
782 1.
783 11. SSH Access for Linux console
784
785 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.
786
787
788 IP address:  IP address of DLOS8N
789
790 Port:         22 (via WiFi AP mode) or 2222 (via WAN Interface)
791
792 User Name:      **root**
793
794 Password:         **dragino** (default)
795

811 11. Edit and Transfer files
812
813 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.
814
815
816 In Windows, one of the easiest methods is using the [[WinSCP>>url:https://winscp.net/eng/index.php]] utility.
817
818 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.
819
820
821 Screenshot is as below:

826 1.
827 11. File System
828
829 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.
830
831
832 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.
833
834 You can use an external USB flash memory device to extend the size of flash memory for storage.
835
836
837

840 11. Package maintenance system
841
842 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 //**.
843
844
845 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]])
846
847
848 In Linux Console run:
849
850 **root@dragino-169d30:~~# opkg update**  ~/~/ to get the latest packages list
851
852 **root@dragino-169d30:~~# opkg list**         ~/~/shows the available packages
853
854 **root@dragino-169d30:~~# opkg install iperf **~/~/ install iperf
855
856 The system will automatically install the required packages as shown below.

891 11. Can I make my own firmware for the gateway, where can I find the source code?
892
893 Yes, You can make your own firmware for the DLOS8N for branding purposes or to add customized applications.
894
895 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]]

899 11. Can I use 868Mhz version for 915Mhz bands?
900
901 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.

943
944 [[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image067.png]]
945
946 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.
947
948 (Note: fallback IP can be disabled in the WAN and DHCP page)
949
950
951 Steps to connect via fall back IP:
952
953 1. Connect PC’s Ethernet port to DLOS8N’s WAN port
954 1. Configure PC’s Ethernet port has
955 IP: 172.31.255.253 and
956 Netmask: 255.255.255.252
