141
142 ==== 2.1 System structure ====
143
144 This example is an example to show how to set up the PG1302 + RPi as a LoRaWAN gateway to use with [[TheThingsNetwork>>url:http://www.thethingsnetwork.org/]](TTN) LoRaWAN server.
145
146 Set up method for other server are similar.

162 === 3. Install the software? ===
163
164 There are two ways to install software in RPi4 to use PG1302.
165
166 * Flash SD card with Dragino pre-build image which support Web UI.
167 * Install lora packet forwarder in existing RPi OS.

190 ==== 4.3 Access the Linux console ====
191
192 (((
193 (((
194 Connect the RPI Ethernet port to your router, RPi will obtain an IP address from your router. In the router’s
195
196 management portal, you should be able to find what IP address the router has assigned to the RPI. You can
197
198 use this IP to connect the WEB UI or SSH access of RPI.
199 )))
200
201 (((
202 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.
