237 == 3.1 Overview ==
238
239 The DLOS8N supports flexible network set up for different environments. This section describes the typical network topology. The network set up includes:
240
241 * **WAN Port Internet Mode**
242 * **WiFi Client Mode**
243 * **WiFi AP Mode**
244 * **Cellular Mode**
245
246 == 3.2 Use WAN port to access Internet ==
247
248 By default, the DLOS8N is set to use the WAN port to connect to an upstream network. When you connect the DLOS8N’s WAN port to an upstream router, DLOS8N will get an IP address from the router and have Internet access via the upstream router. The network status can be checked in the (% style="color:#4f81bd" %)**home page**:

394 This section shows how to add a LoRaWAN End device to a LoRaWAN network and see the data from TTN web site.
395
396 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.
397
398 [[image:1652422794767-871.png]]
399
400 (% style="color:#4f81bd" %)**Step 1**: (% style="color:black" %)Create a Device definition in TTN v3 with the OTAA keys from the example LT-22222-L IO Controller device.
401
402 Three codes are required to define the device in TTN v3:
403
404 * DEV EUI - Unique ID code for a particular device.
405 * APP EUI - ID code for an Application defined in TTN v3.
406 * APP Key - Unique key to secure communications with a particular device.
407
408 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.
409
410 [[image:1652422840936-838.png]]
411
412
413 (% style="color:red" %)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.
414
415 For the TTN v3 server, you can use the codes set in the device as in the following example.
416
417 Select **Add Application** to open the screen below.
418
419 [[image:1652422946999-255.png||height="356" width="744"]]

426
427 Select OTAA activation mode
428
429
430 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.
431
432 [[image:1652422998005-968.png||height="352" width="744"]]
433
434 First, input the End device ID, AppEUI and DevEUI.
435
436 [[image:1652423022781-339.png||height="365" width="741"]]
437
438 Secondly, choose the corresponding frequency and LoRaWAN class capabilities.
439
440 [[image:1652423046741-467.png||height="355" width="736"]]
441
442 Finally, Application layer settings input the corresponding AppKey. Before saving the configuration, check that the data matches the device.
443
444
445 (% style="color:#4f81bd" %)**Step 2**: (% style="color:black" %)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.

481 === 5.2.2 LoRa ~-~-> ABP Decryption ===
482
483 The DLOS8N can communicate with LoRaWAN ABP End Node without the need of LoRaWAN server. It can be used in some cases such as:
484
485 * No internet connection.
486 * User wants to get data forward in gateway and forward to their server based on MQTT/HTTP, etc. (Combine ABP communication method and [[MQTT forward together>>http://8.211.40.43:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/MQTT%20Forward%20Instruction/]]).

725 = 7. Linux System =
726
727 The DLOS8N is based on the OpenWrt Linux system. It is open source, and users are free to configure and modify the Linux settings.
728
729 == 7.1 SSH Access for Linux console ==
730
731 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.
732
733 IP address:  IP address of DLOS8N

741 After logging in, you will be in the Linux console and can enter commands as shown below.
742
743 [[image:1652431588565-830.png]]
744

749
750 == 7.2 Edit and Transfer files ==
751
752 The DLOS8N supports the (% style="color:green" %)**SCP protocol** (% style="color:black" %)and has a built-in (% style="color:green" %)**SFTP server**. (% style="color:black" %)There are many ways to edit and transfer files using these protocols.
753
754 In Windows, one of the easiest methods is using the [[WinSCP>>url:https://winscp.net/eng/index.php]] utility.
755
756 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.
757
758 Screenshot is as below:
759
760 [[image:1652431650755-450.png]]
761
762
763 == 7.3 File System ==
764
765 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.
766
767 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.
768
769 You can use an external USB flash memory device to extend the size of flash memory for storage.
770
771
772 == 7.4 Package maintenance system ==
773
774 DLOS8N uses the OpenWrt [[**OPKG package maintenance system**>>https://oldwiki.archive.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 //**.
775
776 Below are some example **//opkg //** commands. For more information please refer to the [[OPKG package maintain system>>https://oldwiki.archive.openwrt.org/doc/techref/opkg]]** **([[https:~~/~~/oldwiki.archive.openwrt.org/doc/techref/opkg>>https://oldwiki.archive.openwrt.org/doc/techref/opkg]])

838
839
840 == 9.3 Can I make my own firmware for the gateway, where can I find the source code? ==
841
842 Yes, You can make your own firmware for the DLOS8N for branding purposes or to add customized applications.
843
844 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]]
845
846
847 == 9.4 Can I use 868Mhz version for 915Mhz bands? ==
848
849 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.

882 == 10.3 I configured DLOS8N for WiFi access and lost its IP. What to do now? ==
883
884 [[image:1652435238615-272.png||height="247" width="727"]]
885
886 The DLOS8N has a fall-back IP address on its WAN port. This IP is always enabled so you can use the fall-back IP to access DLOS8N no matter what the WiFi IP is. The fall back IP is useful for connecting and debug the unit.
887
888 (% style="color:red" %)Note: fallback IP can be disabled in the WAN and DHCP page.
889
890
891 Steps to connect via fall back IP:
892
893 ~1. Connect PC’s Ethernet port to DLOS8N’s WAN port
894
895 2. Configure PC’s Ethernet port has
896 IP: 172.31.255.253 and
897 Netmask: 255.255.255.252
898
899 As below photo:
900
901 [[image:1652435256286-879.png]]
902
903 3. In the PC, use IP address 172.31.255.254 to access the DLOS8N via Web or Console.
904
905 Please note the latest firmware uses port 8000 for http and 2222 for ssh access.
