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 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.
38
39 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.

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

132 4.3 Access the Linux console.
133
134 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.
135
136 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

380 5.5.2 Config Gateway ID, Frequency Band and Server address
381
382 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**
383
384 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.
385

388
389 [[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image054.jpg]]
390
391 User can find the TTN v3 server address from:
392
393 [[Server Addresses ~| The Things Stack for LoRaWAN (thethingsindustries.com)>>url:https://www.thethingsindustries.com/docs/getting-started/server-addresses/#deployments]]
394
395
396 And the default frequency band is US915 in **global_conf.json** file.

402
403 * 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.**
404
405 1).Chose your need the name of region frequency.
