Xiaoling 2.2 20 == 1.1 What is the DLOS8N ==
Xiaoling 1.2 21
Xiaoling 3.2 22 The DLOS8N is (% class="mark" %)an open source outdoor LoRaWAN Gateway(%%). It lets you bridge LoRa wireless network to an IP network via WiFi, Ethernet, 3G or 4G cellular. The LoRa wireless allows users to send data and reach extremely long ranges at low data-rates.
Xiaoling 1.2 23
Xiaoling 6.2 24 DLOS8N (% class="mark" %)supports Semtech packet forwarder(%%) and (% class="mark" %)LoRaWAN Station connection(%%), it is fully compatible with LoRaWAN protocol. DLOS8N includes a(% class="mark" %) SX1302 LoRaWAN concentrator(%%).
Xiaoling 1.2 25
Xiaoling 3.2 26 DLOS8N has (% class="mark" %)pre-configured standard LoRaWAN frequency bands(%%) to use for different countries.User can also customize the frequency bands to use in their own LoRaWAN network.
Xiaoling 1.2 27
Xiaoling 3.2 28 DLOS8N can communicate with ABP LoRaWAN end node without LoRaWAN server. System integrator can use it to integrate with their existing IoT Service without set up own LoRaWAN server or use 3rd party LoRaWAN service.
Xiaoling 1.2 29
Xiaoling 3.2 30 DLOS8N supports (% class="mark" %)auto-provision(%%) for mass deployment and long term maintain. System intergrator can easily change the settings.

Xiaoling 1.2 228
229 The DLOS8N supports flexible network set up for different environments. This section describes the typical network topology. The network set up includes:
230
231 * **WAN Port Internet Mode**
232 * **WiFi Client Mode**

234 * **Cellular Mode**
235
Xiaoling 13.2 236 == 3.2 Use WAN port to access Internet ==
237
Xiaoling 16.2 238 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**:

Xiaoling 1.2 389
Xiaoling 42.2 390 (% 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.
Xiaoling 1.2 391
392 Three codes are required to define the device in TTN v3:
393
394 * DEV EUI - Unique ID code for a particular device.
395 * APP EUI - ID code for an Application defined in TTN v3.
396 * APP Key - Unique key to secure communications with a particular device.
397
398 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.

746
Xiaoling 45.2 747 1.
Xiaoling 1.2 748 11. SSH Access for Linux console
749
750 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.

777
778 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.
779
780
781 In Windows, one of the easiest methods is using the [[WinSCP>>url:https://winscp.net/eng/index.php]] utility.
782
783 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.
784
785
786 Screenshot is as below:

Xiaoling 1.2 792 11. File System
793
794 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.
795
796
797 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.
798
799 You can use an external USB flash memory device to extend the size of flash memory for storage.

807 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 //**.
808
809
810 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]])

Xiaoling 1.2 856 11. Can I make my own firmware for the gateway, where can I find the source code?
857
858 Yes, You can make your own firmware for the DLOS8N for branding purposes or to add customized applications.
859
860 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]]

Xiaoling 1.2 864 11. Can I use 868Mhz version for 915Mhz bands?
865
866 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.

871 1. Trouble Shooting
872 11. I get kernel error when install new package, how to fix?
873
874 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:
875
876
877 root@dragino-16c538:~~# opkg install kmod-dragino2-si3217x_3.10.49+0.2-1_ar71xx.ipk
878
879 Installing kmod-dragino2-si3217x (3.10.49+0.2-1) to root…
880
881 Collected errors:
882
883 ~* satisfy_dependencies_for: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for kmod-dragino2-si3217x:
884
885 *      kernel (= 3.10.49-1-4917516478a753314254643facdf360a) *
886
887 ~* opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package kmod-dragino2-si3217x.
888
889
890 In this case, you can use the –force-depends option to install such package as long as the actual kernel version is the same.
891
892 Opkg install kmod-dragino2-si3217x_3.10.49+0.2-1_ar71xx.ipk –force-depends

Xiaoling 1.2 907 11. I configured DLOS8N for WiFi access and lost its IP. What to do now?
908
Xiaoling 45.2 909 [[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image067.png]]
Xiaoling 1.2 910
911 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.
912
913 (Note: fallback IP can be disabled in the WAN and DHCP page)
914
915
916 Steps to connect via fall back IP:
917
918 1. Connect PC’s Ethernet port to DLOS8N’s WAN port
919 1. Configure PC’s Ethernet port has
920 IP: 172.31.255.253 and
921 Netmask: 255.255.255.252

927 1. In the PC, use IP address 172.31.255.254 to access the DLOS8N via Web or Console.
928
929 Please note the latest firmware uses port 8000 for http and 2222 for ssh access.
