Running Basic Station on Conduit

Code base and documentation

Installation

Install the Basic Station from downloads.

$ sudo -s
# wget http://www.multitech.net/downloads/lora-basic-station_2.0.3-r1.0_arm926ejste.ipk
# opkg install lora-basic-station_2.0.3-r1.0_arm926ejste.ipk

The /opt/lora/station binary will be installed.

Basic Station to Packet Forwarder

This example python script shows how to send a channel configuration to the connection basic station gateway. It is useful for getting started and ensuring the gateway is functioning.
Basic Station Examples

TTN Configuration

tc.uri

wss://<ORG>.<REGION>.cloud.thethings.industries:8887

wss://multitech.eu1.cloud.thethings.industries:8887

tc.key – Gateway Token

The tc.key file needs to be formatted correctly to be used and can be created with this command. Create an API with Gateway Link permissions and copy the key to the tc.key file.

echo -en "Authorization: NNSXS.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\r\n" > tc.key

tc.trust

openssl s_client -showcerts -servername multitech.eu1.cloud.thethings.industries -connect multitech.eu1.cloud.thethings.industries:8887

Configuration files

Adjust the station.conf file for the desired frequencies, see examples.
Download station.conf
Configure tc.uri to point to the network server web socket port
```
ws://192.168.52.72:6090
```
For secure web sockets use wss and provide tc.key or tc.trust and tc.crt files
```
wss://192.168.52.72:6090
```
