There are three types of hotspots that can connect to Helium. They are (% style="color:#4f81bd" %)**full-hotspot**(%%), (% style="color:#4f81bd" %)**light hotspot** (%%)and (% style="color:#4f81bd" %)**data-only hotspot**(%%). Definition of these three types of hotspots can be found here: [[of Helium Hotspots>>url:https://docs.helium.com/mine-hnt%7CTypes]]. Different hotspots support different mining abilities.

* Firmware Requirement: > [[lgw~~-~~-build-v5.4.1640315898>>url:https://www.dragino.com/downloads/index.php?dir=LoRa_Gateway/LPS8/Firmware/Release/]]

40

41

== 2.2 Step 1: Configure Frequency Band ==

42

43

Each country has a requirement for frequency region. Choose the right one for your area.

76

77

Install the Helium gateway-rs

78

79

**Note**: User will see the echo characters of Helium gateway-rs have been installed successfully.

80

81

82

== 2.5 Step 4: Save&start the Helium Server ==

83

84

Click **Save&Apply** and gateway will start to connect the Helium. The UI shows the connect status.

85

87

88

Start Helium-gateway-rs

89

90

91

== 2.6 Step 5: Check Gateway Connection before onboarding ==

92

93

A hotspot can transfer data to Helium after finishing step4. We can add a device to Helium and see if the device can join Helium. For example, we add an LGT92 sensor and see below info.

94

95

(((

96

Check end device event from [[Helium Console>>url:https://staging-console.helium.wtf/]], We can see the LGT92 data arrived Helium via our hotspot.

100

101

Check if the packet is transferred via LPS8

102

103

**Note:** The hotspot is not valid for search in Helium Console before onboarding.

104

105

106

== 2.7 Step 6: Onboarding Data-Only Hotspot ==

107

108

(% style="color:red" %)**Note: Onboarding a Data-Only hotspot is not necessary, and it will gain very, very small awards on HNT by data-transfer .**

109

110

User can refer [[this link>>url:https://docs.helium.com/mine-hnt/data-only-hotspots]] for how to onboarding a data-only hotspot. After onboarding the data-only hotspot, user can see the hotspot on Helium Console.

111

112

Below are the steps we do as per above link here.

113

114

(((

115

~1. Set up Helium-Wallet in my computer. [[https:~~/~~/docs.helium.com/wallets/cli-wallet>>url:https://docs.helium.com/wallets/cli-wallet]]. and funds this wallet. From this step, we got the wallet info as below.

Assume the device is powered correctly. If you don't see data in Helium. The possibilities are:

)))

(((

1) You are out of Helium Gateway coverage. (If you have other end nodes, you can check whether they work and what is the signal strength you see in the platform)

)))

(((

2) Your end node frequency band doesn't match the Helium gateway frequency band. (Please double-check if frequency band matches)

)))

(((

3) You have input the wrong keys into Helium Platform ( You can send us the screenshots for the keys and Dragino support team can check for you)

=== 3.5.2 Packet Loss for AU915 / US915 Band ===

585

586

(((

587

The node working on the AU915/US915 frequency has packet loss or the frequency channel and the gateway channel are different.

)))

(((

The reason for this problem is that the node does not lock the channel after joining the network.

)))

(((

Solution:

)))

(((

(1) If the user does not have a device to upgrade the firmware, you can use the AT+CHE command or the downlink command to set the channel. It is best to turn off the adaptive rate (ADR).Reset the device after setting the channel.

)))

* (((

AT Command: AT+CHE

)))

* (((

Example:AT+CHE=1 ~/~/set channel mode to 1

)))

* (((

Downlink Command: 0x24

)))

(((

Format: Command Code (0x24) followed by 1 bytes channel value.

)))

(((

If the downlink payload=2401, it means set channel mode to 1, while type code is 24.

)))

* (((

Example 1: Downlink Payload: 2401 ~/~/ set channel mode to 1

)))

* (((

Example 2: Downlink Payload: 2405 ~/~/ set channel mode to 5

)))

(((

(2) If the user has a device to upgrade the firmware, it is better to upgrade the device to the latest version. The latest version has fixed the problem that the AU915/US915 frequency does not lock the channel.

)))

(((

The latest firmware for end node will have this bug fixed.
