• two standard RJ45 ethernet cables: one from the network to the PoE injector, and one from the PoE injector to the station. Detailed instructions are available in the LoRa station Installation and Maintenance guide available on the Documentations page.

• WIRGRID debug tool (access to linux console)

Connect the debug tool on the station front :
PC Drivers are available at ftdi drivers

• USB wire (A type <> B type) to connect debug probe to PC

• PoE injector (class 1, 48V) or DC power supply (10V to 30V).

• firstly connect the debug tool to the station and to the PC : open a serial terminal on PC (typically HyperTerminal application on Windows) on the com port created by FTDI driver with the following standard parameters :

  baudrate : 115200
  data length : 8
  parity : none
  stop bit : 1
  flow control : none

• after getting prompt : enter login “root” with password “root”.

• PC Ethernet wire can be connected to the PoE power supply unit or directly to the station USB connector using an USB/NET adaptor. Then, start an ssh client (typically Putty on Windows) on port 22 and using the station “out of the box” default IP address which is 192.168.4.155. The PC ethernet address must have been previously configured in the same LAN (192.168.4.150 for example).
• after getting prompt : enter login “root” with password “root”.

On Firmware v1.x, several binaries are installed on the LoRa Station filesystem based on the Semtech examples (from github:lora_gateway).

• Go to the path /mnt/fsuser-1/test_hal_v1.5.0_868Mhz

Read the readme.md files to learn how to use them.

Install the ready-to-use “packet forwarder” on the gateway and see your End Point on the semtech demonstration server.
Firmware V2.x:

• Delivered without pre-installed binaries, download and intall them from : firmware_v2.x test_applications
• Test applications are built with LoRa MAC layer activated by default.
• LoRa Mote provided with this firmware can be configured thanks to a PC tool

LoRa Mote configuration page

Firmware v1.x:

• Follow the link demo_lora_packet_forwarderready-to-use_package
• Lora MAC layer not activated by default (test apps and LoRa Motes).

Compile the Semtech's HAL and test binaries.

• Follow the link configuration

build your own kernel and rootfs

• Follow the link Distribution

Install the IBM/LRSC-ready firmware and register your LoRa Station to the IBM/LRSC network:

• Follow the direct link https://lrsc.ch/ssc/kerlink.html and contact LRSC team.
