11. Add a LoRaWAN End Device

422

423

This section shows how to add a LoRaWAN End device to a LoRaWAN network and see the data from TTN web site.

424

425

426

We use [[LT-22222-L>>url:http://www.dragino.com/products/lora-lorawan-end-node/item/156-lt-22222-l.html]] IO Controller as a reference device - the setup for other LoRaWAN devices will be similar.

427

428

429

[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image034.jpg]]

430

431

**Step 1**: Create a Device definition in TTN v3 with the OTAA keys from the example LT-22222-L IO Controller device.

432

433

434

Three codes are required to define the device in TTN v3:

435

436

* DEV EUI - Unique ID code for a particular device.

437

* APP EUI - ID code for an Application defined in TTN v3.

438

* APP Key - Unique key to secure communications with a particular device.

439

440

A set of these codes are stored in each device by the manufacturer as the default codes for that particular device. Each device is shipped with a sticker with the default Device EUI as shown below.

441

442

443

[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image035.png]]

444

445

446

Note: You may be able to change these codes in a device by using a configuration facility on the device e.g. the LT-22222 uses a serial port access and a series of AT commands. Changing the codes may be necessary in the case where you have to use codes assigned by a LoRa WAN server.

447

448

449

For the TTN v3 server, you can use the codes set in the device as in the following example.

450

451

452

Select **Add Application** to open the screen below.

453

454

[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image036.png]]

456

Open the **Application **select** Add end device**

457

458

459

Start Register the end device

460

461

[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image037.png]]

462

463

Select OTAA activation mode

464

465

466

The LoRaWAN version for your device should be provided by the manufacturer in a datasheet as LoRaWAN version or LoRaWAN specification. The most commonly used LoRaWAN versions are v1.0.2 and v1.0.3.

467

468

[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image038.png]]

469

470

First, input the End device ID, AppEUI and DevEUI.

471

472

473

[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image039.png]]

474

475

Secondly, choose the corresponding frequency and LoRaWAN class capabilities.

476

477

478

[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image040.png]]

479

480

Finally, Application layer settings input the corresponding AppKey. Before saving the configuration, check that the data matches the device.

481

482

483

**Step 2**: Power on LT-22222-L device and it will automatically join the TTN network. After joining successfully, it will start to upload messages to the TTN v3. Select the Live data tab and you will see the data appearing in the panel.

484

485

1. Linux System

The DLOS8N is based on the OpenWrt Linux system. It is open source, and users are free to configure and modify the Linux settings.

806

807

1.

808

11. SSH Access for Linux console

809

810

User can access the Linux console via the SSH protocol. Make sure your PC and the DLOS8N are connected to the same network, then use a SSH tool (such as [[putty>>url:http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~~sgtatham/putty/download.html]] in Windows) to access it.

811

812

813

IP address: IP address of DLOS8N

814

815

Port: 22 (via WiFi AP mode) or 2222 (via WAN Interface)

User Name: **root**

Password: **dragino** (default)

820

821

822

After logging in, you will be in the Linux console and can enter commands as shown below.

823

824

825

[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image064.png]]

826

827

828

The “logread -f” command can be used to debug how system runs.

829

830

[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image065.png]]

1.

11. Edit and Transfer files

837

838

The DLOS8N supports the **SCP protocol** and has a built-in **SFTP server**. There are many ways to edit and transfer files using these protocols.

839

840

841

In Windows, one of the easiest methods is using the [[WinSCP>>url:https://winscp.net/eng/index.php]] utility.

842

843

After establishing access via WinSCP to the device, you can use an FTP style window to drag / drop files to the DLOS8N, or edit the files directly in the windows.

844

845

846

Screenshot is as below:

847

848

[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image066.png]]

1.

11. File System

The DLOS8N has a 16MB flash and a 64MB RAM. The /var and /tmp directories are in the RAM, so contents stored in /tmp and /var will be erased after rebooting the device. Other directories are in the flash and will remain after reboot.

855

856

857

The Linux system uses around 8MB ~~10MB flash size which means there is not much room for user to store data in the DLOS8N flash.

858

859

You can use an external USB flash memory device to extend the size of flash memory for storage.

1.

11. Package maintenance system

866

867

DLOS8N uses the OpenWrt [[OPKG package maint>>url:https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/techref/opkg]][[e>>url:https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/techref/opkg]][[n>>url:https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/techref/opkg]][[ance>>url:https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/techref/opkg]][[ system>>url:https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/techref/opkg]]. There are more than 3000+ packages available in our package server for users to install for their applications. For example, if you want to add the **//iperf //** tool, you can install the related packages and configure DLOS8N to use **//iperf //**.

868

869

870

Below are some example **//opkg //** commands. For more information please refer to the [[OPKG package maintain system>>url:https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/techref/opkg]]** **([[https:~~/~~/wiki.openwrt.org/doc/techref/opkg>>url:https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/techref/opkg]])

871

872

873

In Linux Console run:

874

875

**root@dragino-169d30:~~# opkg update** ~/~/ to get the latest packages list

876

877

**root@dragino-169d30:~~# opkg list** ~/~/shows the available packages

878

879

**root@dragino-169d30:~~# opkg install iperf **~/~/ install iperf

880

881

The system will automatically install the required packages as shown below.

882

883

884

//root@dragino-169d30:/etc/opkg# opkg install iperf//

885

11. Can I connect DLOS8N to LORIOT?

912

913

Yes, the set up instruction is here: [[http:~~/~~/wiki.dragino.com/index.php?title=Notes_for_LORIOT>>url:http://wiki.dragino.com/index.php?title=Notes_for_LORIOT]]

1.

11. Can I make my own firmware for the gateway, where can I find the source code?

918

919

Yes, You can make your own firmware for the DLOS8N for branding purposes or to add customized applications.

920

921

The source code and compile instructions can be found at: [[https:~~/~~/github.com/dragino/openwrt_lede-18.06>>url:https://github.com/dragino/openwrt_lede-18.06]]

1.

11. Can I use 868Mhz version for 915Mhz bands?

926

927

It is possible but the distance will be very short, you can select US915 frequency band in 868Mhz version hardware. It will work but you will see the performance is greatly decreased because the 868Mhz version has an RF filter for band 863~~870Mhz, all other frequencies will have high attenuation.

1. Trouble Shooting

11. I get kernel error when install new package, how to fix?

934

935

In some cases, when installing a package with **//opkg//**, it will generate a kernel error such as below due to a mismatch I the kernel ID:

936

937

938

root@dragino-16c538:~~# opkg install kmod-dragino2-si3217x_3.10.49+0.2-1_ar71xx.ipk

939

940

Installing kmod-dragino2-si3217x (3.10.49+0.2-1) to root…

Collected errors:

~* satisfy_dependencies_for: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for kmod-dragino2-si3217x:

945

946

* kernel (= 3.10.49-1-4917516478a753314254643facdf360a) *

947

948

~* opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package kmod-dragino2-si3217x.

949

950

951

In this case, you can use the –force-depends option to install such package as long as the actual kernel version is the same.

952

973

974

(Note: fallback IP can be disabled in the WAN and DHCP page)

975

976

977

Steps to connect via fall back IP:

978

979

1. Connect PC’s Ethernet port to DLOS8N’s WAN port

980
