= Configure node connection to TTNv3 =

187

188

Following is an example for how to join the TTN v3 LoRaWAN Network.

189

190

The gateway is already set up to connect to the TTN network, so we now need to configure the TTNv3 server.

191

192

We take LES01 as an example.

== Step1 ==

Create a device in TTN with the OTAA keys from LSE01.

197

198

Each LSE01 is shipped with a sticker with the default device EUI as below:

199

200

You can enter this key in the LoRaWAN Server portal. Below is TTN screen shot:

201

202

[[~[~[image:https://wiki.dragino.com/images/thumb/c/c7/TTNv3--01.png/600px-TTNv3--01.png~|~|alt="TTNv3--01.png" height="277" width="600"~]~]>>url:https://wiki.dragino.com/index.php/File:TTNv3--01.png]]

== Step2 ==

There are all our nodes in the repository. Users can choose the corresponding brand, model, firmware version and frequency.The decoder and configuration information of the node are pre-configured.Users do not need to configure them.

209

210

[[~[~[image:https://wiki.dragino.com/images/thumb/f/fc/TTNv3--03.png/600px-TTNv3--03.png~|~|alt="TTNv3--03.png" height="333" width="600"~]~]>>url:https://wiki.dragino.com/index.php/File:TTNv3--03.png]]

== Step3 ==

Add APP EUI in the application:

215

216

[[~[~[image:https://wiki.dragino.com/images/thumb/9/9f/TTNv3--04.png/600px-TTNv3--04.png~|~|alt="TTNv3--04.png" height="439" width="600"~]~]>>url:https://wiki.dragino.com/index.php/File:TTNv3--04.png]]

== Step4 ==

Add APP KEY and DEV EUI:

221

222

[[~[~[image:https://wiki.dragino.com/images/thumb/a/a4/TTNv3--05.png/600px-TTNv3--05.png~|~|alt="TTNv3--05.png" height="500" width="600"~]~]>>url:https://wiki.dragino.com/index.php/File:TTNv3--05.png]]

= TTN V3 integrated into MQTT server =

== Introduction ==

The Application Server exposes an MQTT server to work with streaming events. In order to use the MQTT server you need to create a new API key, which will function as connection password. You can also use an existing API key, as long as it has the necessary rights granted.

229

230

== Create device steps at MQTT ==

231

232

The user creates a new API KEY after creating a device on TTN V3.

233

234

Then copy the password and open MQTT.fx.

235

236

Fill in Broker Address and Broker port.

237

238

[[~[~[image:https://wiki.dragino.com/images/thumb/8/82/V3_MQTT1_.png/600px-V3_MQTT1_.png~|~|alt="V3 MQTT1 .png" height="325" width="600"~]~]>>url:https://wiki.dragino.com/index.php/File:V3_MQTT1_.png]]

239

240

Fill in the username and password into MQTT.

241

242

[[~[~[image:https://wiki.dragino.com/images/thumb/6/6a/V3_MQTT2.png/600px-V3_MQTT2.png~|~|alt="V3 MQTT2.png" height="434" width="600"~]~]>>url:https://wiki.dragino.com/index.php/File:V3_MQTT2.png]]

243

244

The Application Server publishes uplink traffic on the following topics:

245

246

{{{ v3/{application id}@{tenant id}/devices/{device id}/join

247

v3/{application id}@{tenant id}/devices/{device id}/up

248

v3/{application id}@{tenant id}/devices/{device id}/down/queued

249

v3/{application id}@{tenant id}/devices/{device id}/down/sent

250

v3/{application id}@{tenant id}/devices/{device id}/down/ack

251

v3/{application id}@{tenant id}/devices/{device id}/down/nack

252

v3/{application id}@{tenant id}/devices/{device id}/down/failed

253

v3/{application id}@{tenant id}/devices/{device id}/service/data

254

v3/{application id}@{tenant id}/devices/{device id}/location/solved

255

}}}

256

257

Note: Remember that the format of these topics for The Things Stack Open Source would contain {application id} instead of {application id}@{tenant id}.

258

259

[[~[~[image:https://wiki.dragino.com/images/thumb/d/dc/V3_MQTT3.png/600px-V3_MQTT3.png~|~|alt="V3 MQTT3.png" height="400" width="600"~]~]>>url:https://wiki.dragino.com/index.php/File:V3_MQTT3.png]]

260

261

While you could subscribe to all of these topics separately, for the simplicity of this tutorial we use # to subscribe to all topics, i.e. to receive all uplink traffic.

262

263

[[~[~[image:https://wiki.dragino.com/images/thumb/e/e8/V3_MQTT4.jpg/600px-V3_MQTT4.jpg~|~|alt="V3 MQTT4.jpg" height="326" width="600"~]~]>>url:https://wiki.dragino.com/index.php/File:V3_MQTT4.jpg]]

264

265

Downlinks can be scheduled by publishing the message to the topic v3/{application id}@{tenant id}/devices/{device id}/down/push.

266

267

Note: Remember that the format of this topic for The Things Stack Open Source deployment would be v3/{application id}/devices/{device id}/down/push.

268

269

Instead of /push, you can also use /replace to replace the downlink queue. Replacing with an empty array clears the downlink queue. Example:

270

271

[[~[~[image:https://wiki.dragino.com/images/thumb/e/e8/V3_MQTT5.png/600px-V3_MQTT5.png~|~|alt="V3 MQTT5.png" height="289" width="600"~]~]>>url:https://wiki.dragino.com/index.php/File:V3_MQTT5.png]]

272

273

To send an unconfirmed downlink message to the device dev1 in application app1 in tenant tenant1 with the hexadecimal payload BE EF on FPort 15 with normal priority, use the topic v3/app1@tenant1/devices/dev1/down/push with the following contents:

274

275

Note: Use this handy tool to convert hexadecimal to base64.

276

277

[[~[~[image:https://wiki.dragino.com/images/thumb/9/9f/V3_MQTT6.png/600px-V3_MQTT6.png~|~|alt="V3 MQTT6.png" height="313" width="600"~]~]>>url:https://wiki.dragino.com/index.php/File:V3_MQTT6.png]]

278

279

280

== Send Downlink message ==

281

282

How to configure downlink in TTN V3?

283

284

A few examples: set the transmission interval to 90 seconds.

285

286

Downlink command:01 00 00 5A

287

288

[[~[~[image:https://wiki.dragino.com/images/thumb/9/90/Downlink_50.png/600px-Downlink_50.png~|~|height="327" width="600"~]~]>>url:https://wiki.dragino.com/index.php/File:Downlink_50.png]]

downlink

After sending, you can view it in live data.

293

294

[[~[~[image:https://wiki.dragino.com/images/thumb/1/15/Downlink_51.png/600px-Downlink_51.png~|~|height="141" width="600"~]~]>>url:https://wiki.dragino.com/index.php/File:Downlink_51.png]]

downlink

When downlink is successfully sent, the downlink information can be received on the serial port.

299

300

Note: If the downlink byte sent is longer, the number of bytes will be displayed.

301

302

[[~[~[image:https://wiki.dragino.com/images/thumb/c/c9/Downlink_52.png/600px-Downlink_52.png~|~|height="407" width="600"~]~]>>url:https://wiki.dragino.com/index.php/File:Downlink_52.png]]

downlink

If you want to get a successful reply to send downlink in TTN v3. You need to set the response level.

307

308

If the equipment uses CLASS A. You can set AT+RPL=2 or send the downlink command: 2102

309

310

If the equipment uses CLASS C. You can set AT+RPL=4 or send the downlink command: 2104

311

312

When the device successfully receives the downlink, the server will receive a confirmation packet of 00.

313

314

[[~[~[image:https://wiki.dragino.com/images/thumb/d/d9/Downlink_54.png/600px-Downlink_54.png~|~|height="127" width="600"~]~]>>url:https://wiki.dragino.com/index.php/File:Downlink_54.png]]

= Request Remote Support =

323

324

These pages are useful to check what is wrong on the Join process. Below shows the four steps that we can check the Join Process.

325

\\If problem not solve, and you need dragino remote support, please follow to this document: [[TTN Support instruction>>url:https://www.dragino.com/downloads/index.php?dir=&file=TTNv3_Support_Guide.pdf]] If user has checked below steps and still can't solve the problem, please send us (support @ dragino.com) the screenshots for each step to check. They include:

326

327

* End node is connected to serial port to show the Join frequency and DR. (If possible)

328

* Gateway (from gateway UI) traffic to show the packet got from end node and receive from Server. (If possible)

329

* Gateway traffic (from server UI) to shows the data exchange between gateway and server. (Normally possible)

330

* End Node traffic (from server UI) to shows end node activity in server. (Normally possible)

331

* End Node Keys screen shot shows in end node and server. so we can check if the keys are correct. (In most case, we found keys doesn't match, especially APP EUI)

332

333

334

**~1. End Device Join Screen shot, we can check:**

335

336

* If the device is sending join request to server?

337

* What frequency the device is sending?

338

339

[[~[~[image:https://wiki.dragino.com/images/thumb/7/77/LoRaWAN_Communication_Debug1.png/600px-LoRaWAN_Communication_Debug1.png~|~|height="596" width="600"~]~]>>url:https://wiki.dragino.com/index.php/File:LoRaWAN_Communication_Debug1.png]]

340

341

Console Output from End device to see the transmit frequency

342

343

User can run AT+CFG command to print configuration information.

344

345

* Is the device in OTAA mode or ABP mode? AT+NJM=1 (OTAA mode), AT+NJM=0 (ABP mode)

346

347

[[~[~[image:https://wiki.dragino.com/images/thumb/c/c5/LoRaWAN_Communication_Debug23.png/600px-LoRaWAN_Communication_Debug23.png~|~|height="514" width="600"~]~]>>url:https://wiki.dragino.com/index.php/File:LoRaWAN_Communication_Debug23.png]]

348

349

Console Output from End device to see the transmit frequency

350

351

**2. Gateway packet traffic in gateway web or ssh. we can check:**

352

353

* If the gateway receive the Join request packet from sensor? (If this fail, check if the gateway and sensor works on the match frequency)

354

* If the gateway gets the Join Accept message from server and transmit it via LoRa?

355

356

[[~[~[image:https://wiki.dragino.com/images/thumb/1/1c/OTAA_Join-2.png/600px-OTAA_Join-2.png~|~|height="325" width="600"~]~]>>url:https://wiki.dragino.com/index.php/File:OTAA_Join-2.png]]

357

358

Console Output from Gateway to see packets between end node and server.

359

360

361

**3. Gateway Traffic Page in LoRaWAN Server**

362

363

* If the Join Request packet arrive the gateway traffic in server? If not, check the internet connection and gateway LoRaWAN server settings.

364

* If the server send back a Join Accept for the Join Request? if not, check if the keys from the device match the keys you put in the server, or try to choose a different server route for this end device.

365

* If the Join Accept message are in correct frequency? If you set the server to use US915 band, and your end node and gateway is EU868, you will see the Join Accept message are in US915 band so no possible to Join success.

366

367

368

369

The Traffic for the End node in the server, use TTNv3 as example

370

371

[[~[~[image:https://wiki.dragino.com/images/thumb/4/4b/LoRaWAN_Communication_Debug3.png/600px-LoRaWAN_Communication_Debug3.png~|~|height="281" width="600"~]~]>>url:https://wiki.dragino.com/index.php/File:LoRaWAN_Communication_Debug3.png]]

372

373

The Traffic for the End node in the server, use TTNv3 as example

374

375

**4. Data Page in LoRaWAN server**

376

377

* If this data page shows the Join Request message from the end node? If not, most properly you have wrong settings in the keys. Keys in the server doesn't match the keys in End Node.
