30 1.1 What is PG1302 LoRaWAN Concentrator?
31
32 (((
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.
34 )))
35
36 (((
37 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.
38 )))
39
40 (((
41 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.

117 3. Install the software?
118
119 There are two ways to install software in RPi4 to use PG1302.
120
121 * Flash SD card with Dragino pre-build image which support Web UI.
122 * Install lora packet forwarder in existing RPi OS.
123
124
125 4. Flash with pre-build image
126
127 4.1 Download the dragino image for RPI
128

148 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.
149
150 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

301 5.2 Get Gateway ID in Raspberry and input this in TTN v3.
302
303 In RPI, run below command to get a Gateway ID
304
305 ifconfig eth0

308 [[image:1651745210205-512.png||height="130" width="621"]]
309
310
311 We got the ether (eth0 MAC) address is b8:27:eb:49:62:bc). Add ffff at the end and remove “:” to get the gateway ID: b827ebxxxxbcffff. Input this to TTN v3. Make sure to select legacy packet forwarder.

363 (% style="text-align:center" %)
364 [[image:1651745611629-818.png]]
365
366
367 This will download the packet forwarder package from Dragino Server to RPI, and start install the package.
368
369 You can get these output:

372 [[image:1651745657252-173.png||height="426" width="621"]]
373
374
375 5.5.2 Config Gateway ID, Frequency Band and Server address
376
377 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**
378
379 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.
380
381 (% style="text-align:center" %)
382 [[image:1651745709709-887.png||height="820" width="621"]]
383
384
385 User can find the TTN v3 server address from:
386
387 [[Server Addresses ~| The Things Stack for LoRaWAN (thethingsindustries.com)>>url:https://www.thethingsindustries.com/docs/getting-started/server-addresses/#deployments]]
388
389
390 And the default frequency band is US915 in **global_conf.json** file.
391
392 (% style="text-align:center" %)
393 [[image:1651745838008-820.png||height="650" width="621"]]
394
395
396 * 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.**
397
398 1).Chose your need the name of region frequency.
399
400 (% style="text-align:center" %)
401 [[image:1651745867516-322.png]]
402
403
404 2). Use this command to copy it.
405
406 cp /etc/lora/cfg-302/EU-global_conf.json /etc/lora/global_conf.json
407
408 (% style="text-align:center" %)
409 [[image:1651745984006-868.png]]
410
411
412 * If user wants to change to other LoRaWAN server, modify the **global_conf.json** file.
413
414
415 5.2.3 Check result
416
417 Run below command to restart the dragino_fwd:
418
419 sudo systemctl stop draginofwd
420
421 sudo systemctl start draginofwd
422
423 debug check the ruing status of fwd:
424
425 sudo systemctl status draginofwd
426
427 (% style="text-align:center" %)
428 [[image:1651746045057-414.png]]
429
430
431 The dragino_fwd will start with the new gateway ID and TTN v3 should show the connection ok:
432
433 (% style="text-align:center" %)
434 [[image:1651746078253-168.png||height="372" width="621"]]
435
436
437
438 We can check dragino_fwd running states in RPi by running:
439
440 //**sudo journalctl -u draginofwd -f**//
441
442 (% style="text-align:center" %)
443 [[image:1651746111963-838.png]]
444
445
446
447 If there are LoRaWAN nodes transmits nearby, we can see the traffic in TTN v3 –> Gateway ~-~-> Live data
