29 ~1. Introduction
30
31 1.1 What is PG1302 LoRaWAN Concentrator?
32
33 The PG1302 is a multi-channel high performance transmitter/receiver designed to simultaneously receive several LoRa packets using random spreading factors on random  channels. Its goal is to enable robust connection between a central wireless data concentrator and a massive amount of wireless end-points spread over a very wide range of  distances.
34
35 The PG1302 is design to use with Raspberry Pi to build smart metering fixed networks and Internet of Things applications with up to 5000 nodes per km2 in moderately  interfered environment.
36
37 PG1302 is fully compatible with RPi3/4, users can use the pre-build OS from Dragino to set up and easy to use the module by Web UI. Or install the raw lorawan driver in the  exist OS.

103 3. Install the software?
104
105 There are two ways to install software in RPi4 to use PG1302.
106
107 * Flash SD card with Dragino pre-build image which support Web UI.
108 * Install lora packet forwarder in existing RPi OS.
109
110 4. Flash with pre-build image
111
112 4.1 Download the dragino image for RPI

129 4.3 Access the Linux console.
130
131 Connect the RPI Ethernet port to your router, RPi will obtain an IP address from your router. In the router’s management portal, you should be able to find what IP address the  router has assigned to the RPI. You can use this IP to connect the WEB UI or SSH access of RPI.
132
133 Make sure your PC and the RPI is in the same network, then use a SSH tool (such as [[putty>>url:http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~~sgtatham/putty/download.html]]) to access it. Below are screenshots

377 5.5.2 Config Gateway ID, Frequency Band and Server address
378
379 After installation, user can find the configuration file in** /etc/lora/ **Replace the gateway ID we got above to the **gateway_ID** in file **local_conf.json**
380
381 The default LoRaWAN server points to localhost, user need to put the correct server address to the server_address field in file **local_conf.json**, like below.

400 * If user want to change to other frequency bands, User can copy the file from **/etc/lora/cfg-302 **and put it into** /etc/lora/global_conf.json.**
401
402 1).Chose your need the name of region frequency.
