Stage 3: Building Your Gateway

Registering Your Gateway with the Network Server

  1. Open the UI of your ChirpStack network server by browsing to http://*CHIRPSTACK_IP_ADDRESS*:8080.

  2. Click Gateways in the menu on the left.

  3. Click Add Gateway.

    Note

    If prompted, and if you are comfortable doing so, allow the browser to access your location. The location is used to configure the location of the gateway. You can also configure it yourself, as shown in the next step.

  4. Complete the form that appears:

    • Name:

      A human-readable name for the gateway. Only letters, numbers and dashes are allowed, e.g., gateway-one.

    • Description:

      A human-readable description, e.g., Gateway for testing.

    • Gateway ID (EUI64):

      Paste in the GATEWAY_ID you found earlier in the step: Set Up LoRa Concentrator shield.

      Note

      If you do not have the GATEWAY_ID, log back into your gateway and open the gateway configuration screen to locate it.

    • Location:

      Set the location of the gateway by clicking + and - to adjust the zoom level and drag the pin on the map to the correct location.

  5. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the Submit button.

  6. The gateway page now appears, showing the status of the gateway.
