RAK free cloud LoRaServer for testing!

Oskariot · June 18, 2019, 6:00am

thank you for quick answer (as usual ). I have already red this document and mentioned section 8.2. I’m asking not for setting independent loraserver, there is a lot of description in your documentation, but what is not clear for me to what to set on gateway side PI/2245 to connect to independent loraserver (yours, mine or whoever else). Maybe I’m missing something but so far it is not clear:

can I use originally installed GW SW on PI/RAK2245 with loraserver, just somehow tweak it (i.e. set IP address of independent server instead of 127.0.0.1 mentioned in documentation)
should I use different PI/RAK2245 image and install GW/bridge or any other required SW.
anything else

Hi, @Oskariot

You are right, if you want to connect your RAK2245 RPi Gateway with a loraserver (No matter built-in or independent. No matter yours, mine or whoever else:wink:), you just need to configure your RAK2245 RPi Gateway according to the section 6.2.2 of my document.

The difference of them is only one point: IP address!
For example, 127.0.0.1 indicates the built-in loraserver, and 209.250.251.9 indicates my cloud EU868 loraserver, and maybe xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx indicates your or other’s loraserver.
Just fill with the IP address of the loraserver you want to connect with, and that’s all about how to configure RAK2245 RPi Gateway.

Ok, it is clear now.

Hi All;

Do you have AS923 frequency for LoRaServer?

Thank you,
Best regards.

Fomi · June 20, 2019, 7:38am

Hi @emporejrz

We’re setting up a new loraserver which works in AS923 ASAP.
Please wait.

BTW, you can supply your information firstly as same as other friends above, in format as follow:
“your name” + “your email” + “the frequency you want to use” + “how long you want to hold this account” + “your RAK LoRa product picture”.

Hi, @emporejrz

I’ve just sent you an email, please check it.
From now on, there is a RAK cloud LoRaServer which works in AS923 frequency, and its IP address is 47.101.11.150.

abhishek2101 · June 20, 2019, 10:03am

@Fomi can you tell us which version are you using of loraserver.io ?

emporejrz · June 21, 2019, 1:23am

Hi @Fomi;

I  can't open 47.101.11.150. How should I do?

Thank you,
Best regards.

Fomi · June 21, 2019, 1:50am

Please see my document or my email firstly.
What you should open in browser is not 47.101.11.150, but http://47.101.11.150:8080
I’ve told you in the email too.

Just try again.

Fomi · June 21, 2019, 4:09am

The current version of loraserver is 2.6

Oskariot · June 22, 2019, 1:47pm

Hi @Fomi, it seems that RAK products (2245, 7249 …) are not compatible with loraserver 3.xx so far, so that is why you are using 2.6, right?

abhishek2101 · June 22, 2019, 5:52pm

@Fomi it would be of much help if RAK can be clear as to which version of loraserver.io is compatible with DIY7249.

I have ordered it few days back and now stuck and don’t know which server to use with it.

Please mention clear versions, please.

Fomi · June 24, 2019, 1:26am

Hi @Oskariot

No, RAK products are compatible with loraserver 3.x actually, but when we set up the cloud loraserver, we just use 2.6 version. It is just used for testing RAK products, and i think it is enough so far.

Fomi · June 24, 2019, 1:42am

Hi @abhishek2101

We’ve ever tested with loraserver 2.6, 2.8, and 3.0, and they work well.
Then we set up the cloud loraserver for testing, and we think it will be helpful for customers, but it is only used for testing RAK products. So 2.6 version is fine i think, and in the future soon, we may upgrade it to 3.x.

Oskariot · June 24, 2019, 5:58am

Hi @Fomi

Thank you for answer, I have to wait on your 3.xx version of test server, because I have problem to run 2245 with 3.xx version, and it seems that @stormforce133 with RAK7249 has similar problem … or I missing something.
