Connect HT-M7603 to LoRa Server

[简体中文]

Summary

This article aims to describe how to connect HT-M7603 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-M7603 is runing well . If not, please refer to this HT-M7603_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-M7603 information as shown below and complete the addition.

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 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/
