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.

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.

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.

97

98

~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. Add Hotspot. In the computer with helium wallet. run below command, replace the txn with the txn you got in above step. Note, below are two commands, the command without ~-~-commit is the preview mode. Check every detail in this mode and run the command with ~-~-commit to commit to the Helium Blockchain.

== 3.5 Trouble Shooting ==

472

473

=== 3.5.1 Trouble to Join Helium ===

474

475

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

476

477

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)

478

479

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

480

481

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)

482

483

484

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

485

486

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

487

488

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

497

498

* Downlink Command: 0x24

499

500

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

501

502

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

503

504

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

505

506

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

507

508

(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.

509

510

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