I have rn2903 microchip module and a microchip gateway. I find difficulties in implementing it

Setup and configuration

I have all the information like device eui, app eui through mac commands. But I do not know how to connect Lora rn2903 mote to a server through gateway. Can someone please help me out with this.

@viswa5095,
At this point, is your rn2903 able to transmit data and you are trying to get it registered with your network? If so, I think the article you want is this one:

(When I did this the first time, I missed a critical step under “Application”)

This assumes you have the Loraserver stack up and running.

When I first started with Loraserver, I thought that the device had to be “connected” or “paired” to the gateway in some fashion. It does not. That is all managed through the Lora Application Server.

Hi,
I am new to Lora and I really do not know how to connect them. Can you say what I should do now. I have a Lora gateway and rn2903 module. Both are from microchip. I do not know how to connect them.

In full disclosure, I’m very new as well.

Do you have a Lora server and Lora app server instance running? If not, you need to do that first. They are required to register the gateway and the application. In my case I was going for the simplest configuration for purposes of learning.

  1. I installed the lora server and lora app server on a Raspberry Pi https://www.loraserver.io/guides/debian-ubuntu/. Other installation instructions can be found here: https://www.loraserver.io/guides/

  2. Then I installed the lora gateway on the gateway device (which is recommended). I had a Multitech Conduit gateway https://www.loraserver.io/lora-gateway-bridge/gateway/multitech/. There are instructions for other gateways here https://www.loraserver.io/lora-gateway-bridge/gateway/

  3. Run the Lora app server web UI and configure the Gateway and device. https://www.loraserver.io/guides/first-gateway-device/

These are high level steps.

It’s also crucial to understand that the device and the gateway won’t have any sort of explicit pairing or connection. The device broadcasts a packet and any gateway in range will pick that transmission up.
