LoRa/LoRaWAN Gateway Kit

LoRa is a perfect long-range wireless solution to create low-power, wide area

networks.So far we have released several "LoRa" boards such as Seeeduino

LoRaWan and Grove LoRa Radio etc. However if you want to build you own LoRa

network, there are 3 things that you should prepare to get started: a Gateway, at

least one Node and a local server where you can monitor all your devices.

This kit provides all the basic elements you need: a Raspberry Pi 3, a Seeeduino

LoRaWAN with GPS and a gateway & local server that allows you to collect and

transfer data among all your LoRa nodes. By connecting the gateway with

Seeeduino LoRaWAN and Grove modules, you can build your IOT prototype within

minutes.

Regarding the gateway module RHF0M301, it is a 10 channel(8 x Multi-SF + 1 x

Standard LoRa + 1 x FSK) LoRaWan gateway moduel with a 24pin DIP port on

board, users can easily connect the RHF0M301 with PRI 2 bridge RHF4T002,

adapter for Raspberry Pi 3 and RHF0M301. We also included a 868MHz antenna,

an 8GB SD card and USB cables, Ethernet Cables and other accessories.

Do you have a question about the LoRa and is the answer not in the manual?

Page 3 Partlist¶ ❶ Parts number Parts name Quantity ❷ Raspberry Pi 3 1 PCS ❸ Gateway module RHF0M301–868 1 PCS ❹ PRI 2 Bridge RHF4T002 1 PCS ❺ Seeeduino LoRaWAN with GPS (RHF76-052AM) 1 PCS ❻ USB to UART Adapter 1 PCS ❼...
Page 4 Getting Started¶ Hardware¶ Interfaces overview¶ Since there are many interfaces here, it is necessary to know the capabilities of these interfaces. Please refer to the following figure for details. ❶ ❷ • Micro-USB Input: The whole system use this Micro-USB interface for power supply.
Page 5 Hardware connection¶ ❷ ❸ • Step 1. Plug Gateway module RHF0M301–868 into PRI 2 Bridge RHF4T002. • Step 2. Plug PRI 2 Bridge RHF4T002 into Raspberry Pi 3. • Step 3. Connect via the 20cm Micro-USB cable. • Step 4. Connect the USB to UART Adapter to the GPIO of Raspberry Pi 3. Please connect them as the picture shown below.
Page 6 Software¶ Software Tool¶ In the following guide, below tools will be needed, please install it to your computer. • Arduino, portable serial tool, used to open the serial port of Seeeduino LoRaWAN with GPS (RHF76-052AM) and send AT commands to it. •...
Page 7 Connect To Local Server¶ Step 1. Power up and connect to putty¶ a) First, make sure the serial tool and RPi (RHF4T002 Adapter) are connected correctly. b) Plug FT232 tool to PC (If COM port is not recognized correctly, please refer Virtual COM Port Drivers) c) Open Device Manager of your PC to get the right COM port.
Page 8 e) Please use RHF2S001 default user name and password to log in. ( Username: rxhf, Password:risinghf ). Note, when input the password, there is no any echo f) Connect RHF2S001 with router through ethernet cable g) Run ifconfig to check the ip address and mac address.
Page 9 IP IS IN THE BLUE SQUARE, MAC ADDRESS IS IN ORANGE SQUARE (FORMAT: B8:27:EB:XX:XX:XX)¶ Note After you get the IP, it is recommended to login RHF2S001 again through SSH. Because SSH is faster (Ethernet than UART) and stable. We normally use serial tool to get the IP. Reopen PuTTY, use the SSH module to connect again.

Page 11 Serial1.write(SerialUSB.read()); • Then choose the right serial port of Seeeduino Lora GPS, and choose the board Tool->Board->Seeeduino_LoRAWAN. After that you can click the upload button.If you can not find Seeeduino_LoRAWAN in the board list or do not know how to update the code,please click here for more information.
Page 12 • Now please open the serial monitor in the upper right corner ( or you can press Ctrl+Shift+M at the same time ).Choose Newline (This option will add "\r\n" at the end of each command.), set the baud rate 9600.Then tap the commands below and press send.
Page 13 d) Access Internal Server Console Fill your browser with the IP address (IP of your gateway) ,it Will jump to the website below. Step 4. Use Seeeduino LoRaWAN GPS(RHF76-052AM) access LoRaWAN server¶ There are two modes,in this wiki we only talk about the ABP Mode(This Mode is free for anyone),for more information about OTAA Mode(This model is commercial, you need to pay for it),you can click here.
Page 14 c) Fill in the blank with the ID info. you just get. You can fill in the name and owner as your wish (here we use Seeed and my nick name：), use the APPEui you've just got. Then click Add button.
Page 15 Then you will jump into the configure page. In this page, we choose Personalised Motes. Fill in the DevEUI and DevAddr with ID info. of your Seeeduino LoRaWAN GPS. And set the NWKSKEYand APPSKEY by default. You can refer to the picture below.
Page 16 d) To test whether you add the device successfully, you can use the serial monitor of Arduino IDE tap the command below. at+mode=lwabp AT+CMSGHEX="0a 0b 0c 0d 0e" It should like something below. Then turn to the website, click Application->Seeed(the name of the Application you just added)->View application data, you will see the data you've just sent form the Seeeduino_LoRAWAN.
Page 17 Connect To Loriot Server¶ Step.1 Loriot Server Gateway Registration¶ a) New user need register an account first, click registration address . Fill in UserName, Password and email address to register, after registration an email will be sent to you, please follow the instruction in the email to activate. b) After successful activation, click here to log in.
Page 18 g) Click “Register Raspberry Pi gateway” to finish the registration. h) Click the registered gateway to enter configuration page, switch “Frquency Plan” manually, your plan here is decided by the type of your RHF2S001 type, available plan are CN470，CN473， CN434，CN780，EU868, after selected please refresh the page to get the exact channel.In this wiki we choose EU868.
Page 19 j) Finish gateway registration. You will see the gateway is Connected now. Next is to register node.
Page 20 Step 2. Loriot Server Connect Node device¶ a) Get the available gateway channels Current gateway channels could be got from Dashboard -> Gateway -> Your Gateway , you can see the available channels as the picture below. b) Seeeduino LoRAWAN GPS(RHF3M076) Configuration Open the serial monitor of Arduino IDE, tap the command below.
Page 21 c) Add Seeeduino_LoRAWAN GPS as an ABP Node Log in Loriot server , Click Dash Board->Applications->SimpleApp . Click Import ABP ，input below items： • DevAddr: Seeeduino_LoRAWAN GPS get through "AT+ID" command (Note: Loriot doesn't support colon connector, need remove manually) •...
Page 22 d) Send data from Seeeduino_LoRAWAN Back to serial monitor of Arduino IDE, send command: AT+CMSGHEX="0a 0b 0c 0d 0e" Then go to Dashboard -> Applications -> SampleApp ->Device , click the Node Device EUI or DevAddr, you will find the data you've just sent here.
