382 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.

492 The DLOS8N can communicate with LoRaWAN ABP End Node without the need of LoRaWAN server. It can be used in some cases such as:
493
494 * No internet connection.
495 * 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]]).

762 1. Linux System
763
764 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)
775
776 User Name:      **root**
777
778 Password:         **dragino** (default)
779
780
781 After logging in, you will be in the Linux console and can enter commands as shown below.

795 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:

810 1.
811 11. File System
812
813 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.
819
820
821

824 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.

875 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]]

883 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.

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
