1. Introduction

The LPS8-V2 of Dragino LoRaWAN gateway can communicate with LoRaWAN ABP End Node, the working is based on the built-in server TTN-Stack.

It can be used in some cases such as:

  • No internet connection.
  • Users want to get data forward in the gateway and forward it to their server based on MQTT/HTTP.
  • Forward the data to the built-in Application server Node-Red.
  • Just storing the data on the gateway or external storage

The basic of this feature is the decoding of LoRaWAN ABP End Node. Requirements:

  1. LoRaWAN End Node in ABP mode. Make sure your end node works in this mode. End node most are default set to OTAA mode
  2. LoRaWAN Gateway model: LPS8-V2
  3. System version: Since V.12

2. Quick Start

The default factory version of LPS8-V2 is installed with the Built-in LoRaWAN Server: The Things Network - Stack (Open Source 3.19 Version).

Once the gateway is DHCP an IPV4 address, and then you can access the build-in server TTN-Stack.

2.1. Configure the gateway mode

You can access  the gateway's Manage Web UI, via the URL ( http://<hostname> or http://<local-IPV4-address> ) in your browser

Selecting the right frequency band

2.2.  Login to the built-in server TTN-Stack

You can access the gateway's built-in server of The Things Network - Stack via the URL( http://<hostname>:8080 or http://<local-IPV4-address:8080> ) in your browser.

Such as  http://dragino-54ff12:8080  or http://<Local-IPV4-Address>

3. Forward the data or store the data

3.1. Forward data to an external server based on MQTT/HTTP.

3.2 Forward data to the built-in application server Node-Red.

3.3 Just storing the data on the gateway or external storage.

4. Sent the downlink to the sensor
