31 1.1 What is PG1302 LoRaWAN Concentrator?
32
33 (% class="box" %)
34 (((
35 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.
36 )))
37
38 (% class="box" %)
39 (((
40 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.
41 )))
42
43 (% class="box" %)
44 (((
45 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.
46 )))

111 3. Install the software?
112
113 There are two ways to install software in RPi4 to use PG1302.
114
115 * Flash SD card with Dragino pre-build image which support Web UI.
116 * Install lora packet forwarder in existing RPi OS.
117
118 4. Flash with pre-build image

137 4.3 Access the Linux console.
138
139 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.
140
141 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

385 5.5.2 Config Gateway ID, Frequency Band and Server address
386
387 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**
388
389 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.
390

393
394 [[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image054.jpg]]
395
396 User can find the TTN v3 server address from:
397
398 [[Server Addresses ~| The Things Stack for LoRaWAN (thethingsindustries.com)>>url:https://www.thethingsindustries.com/docs/getting-started/server-addresses/#deployments]]

407
408 * 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.**
409
410 1).Chose your need the name of region frequency.
