18 === 1. Introduction ===
19
20 ==== 1.1 What is PG1302 LoRaWAN Concentrator? ====
21
22 (((
23 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.
24 )))
25
26 (((
27 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.
28 )))
29
30 (((
31 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.
32 )))

95 === 3. Install the software? ===
96
97 There are two ways to install software in RPi4 to use PG1302.
98
99 * Flash SD card with Dragino pre-build image which support Web UI.
100 * Install lora packet forwarder in existing RPi OS.
101
102 === 4. Flash with pre-build image ===

120
121 ==== 4.3 Access the Linux console ====
122
123 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. 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

163 [[image:1651744554845-970.png||height="328" width="621"]]
164
165 Different PG1302 hardware version can support different frequency range:
166
167 ➢ 868: valid frequency: 863Mhz ~~ 870Mhz. for bands EU868, RU864, IN865 or KZ865.
168
169 ➢ 915: valid frequency: 902Mhz ~~ 928Mhz. for bands US915, AU915, AS923 or KR920
170
171 After user choose the frequency plan, he can see the actually frequency in used by checking the
