31 1.1 What is PG1302 LoRaWAN Concentrator?
32
Xiaoling 57.1 33 The PG1302 is a multi-channel high performance transmitter/receiver designed to simultaneously receive several LoRa packets using random spreading factors on 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 range of distances.
Xiaoling 49.1 34
35
Xiaoling 57.1 36 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 interfered environment.
Xiaoling 36.1 37
Xiaoling 57.1 38
39 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 in the exist OS.

110 3. Install the software?
111
Xiaoling 39.1 112 There are two ways to install software in RPi4 to use PG1302.
Xiaoling 36.1 113
114 * Flash SD card with Dragino pre-build image which support Web UI.
115 * Install lora packet forwarder in existing RPi OS.
116
117 4. Flash with pre-build image

136 4.3 Access the Linux console.
137
138 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.
139
140 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
