29 ~1. Introduction
30
31 1.1 What is PG1302 LoRaWAN Concentrator?
32
33 The PG1302 is a multi-channel high performance transmitter/receiver designed to simultaneously receive several LoRa packets using random spreading factors on
34
35 random  channels. Its goal is to enable robust connection between a central wireless data concentrator and a massive amount of wireless end-points spread over a very wide
36
37 range of distances.
38
39
40 The PG1302 is design to use with Raspberry Pi to build smart metering fixed networks and Internet of Things applications with up to 5000 nodes per km2 in moderately
41
42 interfered environment.
43
44
45 PG1302 is fully compatible with RPi3/4, users can use the pre-build OS from Dragino to set up and easy to use the module by Web UI. Or install the raw lorawan driver
46
47 in the exist OS.

115 3. Install the software?
116
117 There are two ways to install software in RPi4 to use PG1302.
118
119 * Flash SD card with Dragino pre-build image which support Web UI.
120 * Install lora packet forwarder in existing RPi OS.
121
122 4. Flash with pre-build image

141 4.3 Access the Linux console.
142
143 Connect the RPI Ethernet port to your router, RPi will obtain an IP address from your router. In the router’s management portal, you should be able to find what IP address the  router has assigned to the RPI. You can use this IP to connect the WEB UI or SSH access of RPI.
144
145 Make sure your PC and the RPI is in the same network, then use a SSH tool (such as [[putty>>url:http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~~sgtatham/putty/download.html]]) to access it. Below are screenshots

389 5.5.2 Config Gateway ID, Frequency Band and Server address
390
391 After installation, user can find the configuration file in** /etc/lora/ **Replace the gateway ID we got above to the **gateway_ID** in file **local_conf.json**
392
393 The default LoRaWAN server points to localhost, user need to put the correct server address to the server_address field in file **local_conf.json**, like below.

401
402 [[Server Addresses ~| The Things Stack for LoRaWAN (thethingsindustries.com)>>url:https://www.thethingsindustries.com/docs/getting-started/server-addresses/#deployments]]
403

411
412 * If user want to change to other frequency bands, User can copy the file from **/etc/lora/cfg-302 **and put it into** /etc/lora/global_conf.json.**
413
414 1).Chose your need the name of region frequency.
