Alec Chen 1.3 24 **Step 1: Get a Unique gateway ID.**
Alec Chen 1.2 25
Alec Chen 1.3 26 Every LPS8N has a unique gateway id. The ID can be found at LoRaWAN page:

88 == **2.3  Configure frequency** ==
89
90 We also need to set the frequency plan in LPS8N to match the end node we use, so to receive the LoRaWAN packets from the LoRaWAN sensor.

Alec Chen 1.4 101 This section shows how to add a LoRaWAN End device to a LoRaWAN network and see the data from TTN web site.
Alec Chen 1.3 102
Alec Chen 1.4 103 We use [[LT-22222-L>>url:http://www.dragino.com/products/lora-lorawan-end-node/item/156-lt-22222-l.html]] IO Controller as a reference device - the setup for other LoRaWAN devices will be similar.

Alec Chen 1.2 106
Alec Chen 1.4 107 **Step 1**: Create a Device definition in TTN v3 with the OTAA keys from the example LT-22222-L IO Controller device.
Alec Chen 1.2 108
109
Alec Chen 1.4 110 Three codes are required to define the device in TTN v3:
Alec Chen 1.2 111
Alec Chen 1.4 112 * DEV EUI - Unique ID code for a particular device.
113 * APP EUI - ID code for an Application defined in TTN v3.
114 * APP Key - Unique key to secure communications with a particular device.
Alec Chen 1.2 115
Alec Chen 1.4 116 A set of these codes are stored in each device by the manufacturer as the default codes for that particular device. Each device is shipped with a sticker with the default Device EUI as shown below.

Alec Chen 1.2 120
Alec Chen 1.4 121 **Note: You may be able to change these codes in a device by using a configuration facility on the device e.g. the LT-22222 uses a serial port access and a series of AT commands.  Changing the codes may be necessary in the case where you have to use codes assigned by a LoRa WAN server.**
Alec Chen 1.2 122
123
Alec Chen 1.4 124 For the TTN v3 server, you can use the codes set in the device as in the following example.

Alec Chen 1.2 136
Alec Chen 1.4 137 Select OTAA activation mode
Alec Chen 1.2 138
139
Alec Chen 1.4 140 The LoRaWAN version for your device should be provided by the manufacturer in a datasheet as LoRaWAN version or LoRaWAN specification. The most commonly used LoRaWAN versions are v1.0.2 and v1.0.3.
141
142 [[image:https://wiki.dragino.com/xwiki/bin/download/Main/User%20Manual%20for%20All%20Gateway%20models/LPS8N%20-%20LoRaWAN%20Gateway%20User%20Manual/WebHome/1657094475730-208.png?rev=1.1||alt="1657094475730-208.png"]]
143
144 First, input the End device ID, AppEUI and DevEUI.

147
148 Secondly, choose the corresponding frequency and LoRaWAN class capabilities.

151
152 Finally, Application layer settings input the corresponding AppKey. Before saving the configuration, check that the data matches the device.
153
154
155 **Step 2**:  Power on LT-22222-L device and it will automatically join the TTN network. After joining successfully, it will start to upload messages to the TTN v3. Select the Live data tab and you will see the data appearing in the panel.
156
157
158 **Note that it may take some time for the device data to appear in the TTN v3 display.**
