This section contains instructions for connecting the Dragino LPS8N LoRaWAN® gateway to The Things Stack using LoRa Basics™ Station.
Registering Gateway
In the The Things Stack console, go to the Gateways tab and click the Register Gateway button to register the gateway and make sure to select these three settings below:
When the keys popup shows after registering, download the keys, and click I have downloaded the keys.
Note:
If you have already registered your gateway and forgot to check the boxes, or if you have been using UDP and want to switch to LoRa Basics™ Station, create API keys manually.Configuring Gateway
In the Gateway’s Web UI, navigate to LoRaWAN > LoRaWAN in the top menu.
On this page, configure the following settings:
- Service Provider:
The Things Network -- Basic Station - CUPS Server URI: The Things Stack server address with port 443 (e.g.
https://eu1.cloud.thethings.network:443) - CUPS Authorization Key: The CUPS key you just downloaded.
- LNS Authorization Key: The LNS key you just downloaded.
- CUPS Certificate Authority: Install a certificate by clicking on the
DEFAULT_CERTIFICATEbutton.
Note: When entering the keys, the “Authorization: Bearer” field should not be entered in the TTN Basics Station configuration of the gateway.
Once you’ve done all that, click Save & Apply.
Finally, test your connection by going to the LPS8N’s Overview page. You should see the gateway status changed to connected (indicated by a blue dot) or observe the frequently updating Last seen time. Also, see the Live data section for various gateway related activities.
You can also verify the presence of a green tick on the LoRa icon in the Web UI.
