11. Add a LoRaWAN End Device

429

430

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

431

432

433

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.

434

435

436

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

437

438

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

439

440

441

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

442

443

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

444

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

445

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

446

447

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.

448

449

450

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

451

452

453

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.

454

455

456

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

457

458

459

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

460

461

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

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

464

465

466

Start Register the end device

467

468

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

469

470

Select OTAA activation mode

471

472

473

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.

474

475

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

476

477

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

478

479

480

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

481

482

Secondly, choose the corresponding frequency and LoRaWAN class capabilities.

483

484

485

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

486

487

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

488

489

490

**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.

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.

813

814

1.

815

11. SSH Access for Linux console

816

817

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.

818

819

820

IP address: IP address of DLOS8N

821

822

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

User Name: **root**

Password: **dragino** (default)

827

828

829

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

830

831

832

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

833

834

835

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

837

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

1.

11. Edit and Transfer files

844

845

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.

846

847

848

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

849

850

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.

851

852

853

Screenshot is as below:

854

855

[[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.

862

863

864

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.

865

866

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

1.

11. Package maintenance system

873

874

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 //**.

875

876

877

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]])

878

879

880

In Linux Console run:

881

882

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

883

884

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

885

886

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

887

888

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

889

11. Can I connect DLOS8N to LORIOT?

918

919

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?

924

925

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

926

927

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?

932

933

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?

940

941

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:

942

943

944

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

945

946

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:

951

952

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

953

954

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

955

956

957

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

958

11. I configured DLOS8N for WiFi access and lost its IP. What to do now?

975

976

[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image067.png]]

977

978

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.

979

980

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

981

982

983

Steps to connect via fall back IP:

984

985

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

986

1. Configure PC’s Ethernet port has

987

IP: 172.31.255.253 and

988

Netmask: 255.255.255.252

As below photo:

[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image068.jpg]]

993

994

1. In the PC, use IP address 172.31.255.254 to access the DLOS8N via Web or Console.

995
