Connect HT-M01S (Rev. 2.0) to LoRa Server
Summary
This article aims to describe how to connect HT-M01S (Rev. 2.0) Gateway to a LoRa server, such as TTN/TTS, ChirpStack, which facilitates secondary development and rapid deployment of LoRa devices.
Before all operation, make sure the HT-M01S is runing well . If not, please refer to this HT-M01S (Rev. 2.0) Quick Start document.
Connect to TTN/TTS
Register a LoRa gateway in TTN/TTS
Select a cluster in the TTN console page to start adding devices and gateways. Or start adding devices and gateways in TTS console.
Create a new gateway.
Fill in the HT-M01S information as shown below and complete the addition.
Gateway EUI – The unique ID of HT-M01S gateway, view from the display screen of the HT-M01S or view through the serial port (the gateway ID will be printed through the serial port when the HT-M01S starts).
Gateway ID – Generated by default.
Gateway name – Filled in by the user, can be filled in arbitrarily.
Frequency Plan – Matches the LoRa band configuration in HT-M01S.
Configure the Gateway
In the HT-M01S gateway, the server address, port, frequency band, and channel need to be configured. The server address, port, frequency band and channel are configured in the “HT-M01S Config” interface, please refer to the HT-M01S (Rev. 2.0) Quick Start document.
Check the server address in the gateway details.

Connect to ChirpStack Server
ChirpStack is the most popular LoRa server open source project, widely used in many fields, and also the best choise for a private LoRa server.
ChirpStack Installation guide: https://www.chirpstack.io/overview/

ChirpStack Gateway Bridge
One thing need attention! the ChirpStack need a special service named Gateway Bridge
, which converts LoRa® Packet Forwarder protocols into a ChirpStack Network Server common data-format(JSON and Protobuf).
the Gateway Bridge
service can running on the Raspberry Pi or the ChirpStack server.
Install ChirpStack Gateway Bridge: https://www.chirpstack.io/gateway-bridge/install/debian/
Register LoRa Gateway in ChirpStack
Fill in the HT-M01S information as shown below and complete the addition.
Gateway ID – The unique ID of HT-M01S gateway, view from the display screen of the HT-M01S or view through the serial port (the gateway ID will be printed through the serial port when the HT-M01S starts).
