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.

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 ===

144 ==== 4.3 Access the Linux console ====
145
146 (((
147 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
148 )))
149
150 (((
151 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.
152 )))
153
154 (((
155 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

302 ==== 5.2 Get Gateway ID in Raspberry and input this in TTN v3. ====
303
304 In RPI, run below command to get a Gateway ID
305
306 (% class="mark" %)ifconfig eth0
307
308 (% style="text-align:center" %)
309 [[image:1651745210205-512.png||height="130" width="621"]]
310
311
312 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.
313
314 Make sure to select legacy packet forwarder.

365 (% style="text-align:center" %)
366 [[image:1651745611629-818.png]]
367
368
369 This will download the packet forwarder package from Dragino Server to RPI, and start install the package.
370
371 You can get these output:

376
377 ===== 5.2.2 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.
382
383 (% style="text-align:center" %)
384 [[image:1651745709709-887.png||height="820" width="621"]]
385
386
387 User can find the TTN v3 server address from:
388
389 [[Server Addresses ~| The Things Stack for LoRaWAN (thethingsindustries.com)>>url:https://www.thethingsindustries.com/docs/getting-started/server-addresses/#deployments]]
390
391
392 And the default frequency band is US915 in **global_conf.json** file.
393
394 (% style="text-align:center" %)
395 [[image:1651745838008-820.png||height="650" width="621"]]
396
397
398 * 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.**
399
400 1).Chose your need the name of region frequency.

421 ===== 5.2.3 Check result =====
422
423 Run below command to restart the dragino_fwd:
424
425 sudo systemctl stop draginofwd
426
427 sudo systemctl start draginofwd
428
429 debug check the ruing status of fwd:
