11 | |||
12 | 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. | ||
13 | |||
14 | **It can be used in some cases such as:** | ||
15 | |||
16 | * No internet connection. | ||
17 | * Users want to get data forward in the gateway and forward it to their server based on MQTT/HTTP. | ||
18 | * Forward the data to the built-in Application server Node-Red. | ||
19 | * Just storing the data on the gateway or external storage | ||
20 | |||
21 | **The basic of this feature is the decoding of** (% style="color:blue" %)**LoRaWAN ABP End Node**(%%). **Requirements:** | ||
22 | |||
23 | 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 | ||
24 | 1. LoRaWAN Gateway model: LPS8-V2 | ||
25 | 1. System version: Since V.12 | ||
26 | |||
27 | |||
28 | = 2. Quick Start = | ||
29 | |||
30 | |||
31 | The default factory version of LPS8-V2 is installed with the Built-in LoRaWAN Server: (% style="color:blue" %)**The Things Network - Stack (Open Source 3.19 Version).** | ||
32 | |||
33 | Once the gateway is DHCP an IPV4 address, and then you can access the build-in server TTN-Stack. | ||
34 | |||
35 | |||
36 | |||
37 | == 2.1. Configure the gateway mode == | ||
38 | |||
39 | |||
40 | You can access the gateway's Manage Web UI, via the URL ( (% style="color:blue" %)__**//http:~/~/<hostname> or http:~/~/<local-IPV4-address> //**__(%%)) in your browser | ||

58 | == 2.2. Login to the built-in server TTN-Stack == | ||
59 | |||
60 | |||
61 | 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. | ||
62 | |||

101 | If you use dragino sensors then you can find the recorder on this URL: | ||

108 | == 2.5. Visual Data == | ||
109 | |||
110 | |||
111 | In this section, you can be seen that the payload of the sensor has been interpreted as visual data. | ||
112 | |||
113 | And the next part will discuss where to let the data flow。 | ||

120 | = 3. Forward the data or store the data = | ||
121 | |||
122 | |||
123 | You are done most of the work, now you just need to plan the flow of data to where. | ||
124 | |||
125 | |||
126 | |||
127 | == 3.1 Forward data to an external server based on MQTT/HTTP. == | ||

161 | == 3.3 Just storing the data on the gateway or external storage. == | ||
162 | |||
163 | |||
164 | Data can be stored or read by subscribing to topics: (% style="color:#037691" %)**v3/<application_name>/devices/<devices_name>/up**. | ||
165 | |||
166 | Then add the storage node **(write file)**, Users can download the Node-Red flowchart from this link to test data storage:[[attach:test_data_storage.json||target="_blank"]] | ||
167 | |||
168 | After the configuration is complete, users can find the node logs in the root/ directory | ||

176 | = 4. Sent the downlink to the sensor = | ||
177 | |||
178 | |||
179 | Downlinks can be scheduled by publishing the message to the topic (% style="color:#037691" %)** v3/<application_name>/devices/<devices_name>/down/push**. | ||
180 | |||
181 | (% style="color:red" %)**Note**: **Remember that the format of this topic for The Things Stack Open Source deployment would be (v3/<application_name>/devices/<devices_name>/down/push).** | ||

184 | |||
185 | |||
186 | Instead of /push, you can also use /replace to replace the downlink queue. Replacing with an empty array clears the downlink queue. Example: | ||
187 | |||
188 | (% class="box" %) | ||
189 | ((( | ||
190 | { | ||
191 | "downlinks": [{ | ||
