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.

151 (((
152 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.
153 )))
154
155 (((
156 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

304 ==== 5.2 Get Gateway ID in Raspberry and input this in TTN v3. ====
305
306 In RPI, run below command to get a Gateway ID
307
308 (% class="mark" %)ifconfig eth0
309
310 (% style="text-align:center" %)
311 [[image:1651745210205-512.png||height="130" width="621"]]
312
313
314 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.
315
316 Make sure to select legacy packet forwarder.

333
334 Enable SPI and I2C first:
335
336 a)SPI needs to be enabled on the Raspberry Pi
337
338 Run sudo raspi-config to open the config window

367 (% style="text-align:center" %)
368 [[image:1651745611629-818.png]]
369
370
371 This will download the packet forwarder package from Dragino Server to RPI, and start install the package.
372
373 You can get these output:

378
379 ===== 5.2.2 Config Gateway ID, Frequency Band and Server address =====
380
381 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**
382
383 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.
384
385 (% style="text-align:center" %)
386 [[image:1651745709709-887.png||height="820" width="621"]]
387
388
389 User can find the TTN v3 server address from:
390
391 [[Server Addresses ~| The Things Stack for LoRaWAN (thethingsindustries.com)>>url:https://www.thethingsindustries.com/docs/getting-started/server-addresses/#deployments]]
392
393
394 And the default frequency band is US915 in **global_conf.json** file.
395
396 (% style="text-align:center" %)
397 [[image:1651745838008-820.png||height="650" width="621"]]
398
399
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.

423 ===== 5.2.3 Check result =====
424
425 Run below command to restart the dragino_fwd:
426
427 sudo systemctl stop draginofwd
428
429 sudo systemctl start draginofwd
430
431 debug check the ruing status of fwd:
