12 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.

14 (((
15 Dragino has different gateway models that support different types.

42
43 == 2.2 Step 1:Configure Frequency Band ==
44
45 Each country has a requirement for frequency region. Choose the right one for your area.

52 == 2.3 Step 2: Download the Helium-gateway-rs ==
53
54 Click Download Helium Server and the gateway will download the Helium-gateway-rs

79 Install the Helium gateway-rs
80
81 **Note**: User will see the echo characters of Helium gateway-rs have been installed successfully.
82
83
84 == 2.5 Step 4: Save&start the Helium Server ==
85
86 Click **Save&Apply** and gateway will start to connect the Helium. The UI shows the connect status.

89
90 Start Helium-gateway-rs
91
92
93 == 2.6 Step 5: Check Gateway Connection before onboarding ==
94
95 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.
96
97 (((
98 Check end device event from [[Helium Console>>url:https://staging-console.helium.wtf/]], We can see the LGT92 data arrived Helium via our hotspot.

102
103 Check if the packet is transferred via LPS8
104
105 **Note:** The hotspot is not valid for search in Helium Console before onboarding.
106
107
108 == 2.7 Step 6: Onboarding Data-Only Hotspot ==
109
110 (% 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 .**
111
112 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.
113
114 Below are the steps we do as per above link here.
115
116 (((
117 ~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.
