PG1302 - DRAGINO

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.

(((

45

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.

)))

(((

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.

125

126

* Flash SD card with Dragino pre-build image which support Web UI.

127

* Install lora packet forwarder in existing RPi OS.

==== 4.3 Access the Linux console. ====

151

152

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.

153

154

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

311

[[image:1651745210205-512.png||height="130" width="621"]]

312

313

314

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.

===== 5.2.1 Download and install LoRaWAN packet forwarder =====

331

332

Enable SPI and I2C first:

333

334

a)SPI needs to be enabled on the Raspberry Pi

335

336

Run sudo raspi-config to open the config window

===== 5.5.2 Config Gateway ID, Frequency Band and Server address =====

378

379

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**

380

381

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.

382

383

(% style="text-align:center" %)

384

[[image:1651745709709-887.png||height="820" width="621"]]

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

390

391

392

And the default frequency band is US915 in **global_conf.json** file.

395

[[image:1651745838008-820.png||height="650" width="621"]]

396

398

* 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.**

399

400

1).Chose your need the name of region frequency.
