[Kerlink iStation] Forwarding LoRa packets to TTN
The following describes how to forward LoRa packet to TTN, by configuring the Packet Forwarder.
The gateway used is a Wirnet iStation 868, connected to a LAN/WAN using a 48V/30W PoE Adapter (gateway requires less than 9W).
Gateway EUI is 7076FF00560503F6, so short id (refering to CPU, ...) is 0503F6, ip address is 192.168.1.199
This step requires a web browser on a machine connected to the same LAN.
Using a terminal and an SSH client, open a SSH connection to the gateway:
sebastienjean@Air-SebJ-6 ~ % ssh [email protected]
The authenticity of host '192.168.1.199 (192.168.1.199)' can't be established.
ED25519 key fingerprint is SHA256:avsigvHVnCWhzxoTC78Dl6VJKiRVhrYrV30gqk3v+xs.
This key is not known by any other names
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])? yes
Warning: Permanently added '192.168.1.199' (ED25519) to the list of known hosts.

N.B. login is root, default password is pdmk-gatewayID (here pdmk-0503F6).
As described here, use klk_apps_config to configure a single forwarding instance (on OS versions > 5.0 it is possible to forward to multiple LNS, refer to the previous document)
