28 === 1. Introduction ===
29
30 ==== 1.1 What is PG1302 LoRaWAN Concentrator? ====
31
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
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
40 (((
41 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.

115
116 === 3. Install the software? ===
117
118 There are two ways to install software in RPi4 to use PG1302.
119
120 * Flash SD card with Dragino pre-build image which support Web UI.
121 * Install lora packet forwarder in existing RPi OS.
122
123 === 4. Flash with pre-build image ===
124
125 ==== 4.1 Download the dragino image for RPI ====

143
144 ==== 4.3 Access the Linux console. ====
145
146 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.
147
148 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

298 ==== 5.2 Get Gateway ID in Raspberry and input this in TTN v3. ====
299
300 In RPI, run below command to get a Gateway ID
301
302 ifconfig eth0
303
304 (% style="text-align:center" %)
305 [[image:1651745210205-512.png||height="130" width="621"]]
306
307
308 We got the ether (eth0 MAC) address is b8:27:eb:49:62:bc). Add ffff at the end and remove “:” to get the gateway ID: b827ebxxxxbcffff. Input this to TTN v3.
309
310 Make sure to select legacy packet forwarder.

373 ===== 5.5.2 Config Gateway ID, Frequency Band and Server address =====
374
375 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**
376
377 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.
