There are three types of hotspots that can connect to Helium. They are full-hotspot, light hotspot and 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.

Dragino has different gateway models that support different types.

67

68

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

69

70

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

73

74

Start Helium-gateway-rs

75

76

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

77

78

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.

79

80

(((

81

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

82

85

86

Check if the packet is transferred via LPS8

87

88

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

89

90

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

91

92

(% 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 .**

93

94

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.

95

96

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

~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.

== 3.5 Trouble Shooting ==

478

479

=== 3.5.1 Trouble to Join Helium ===

480

481

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

482

483

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)

484

485

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

486

487

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)

488

489

490

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

491

492

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

493

494

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

503

504

* Downlink Command: 0x24

505

506

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

507

508

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

509

510

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

511

512

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

513

514

(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.

515

516

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