QSG VIDEO

Built-in LNS for Rapid Private Network Build-out

SX1302 multi-channel LoRaWAN
Multi-channel half-duplex access supports concurrent uplinks, multi-region bands and scalable LoRaWAN deployments.
Built-in LNS for fast private networks
Enables key network functions on the gateway for quick local rollout and pilot validation.
Industrial acquisition + LoRaWAN
DSA-enabled protocol acquisition and normalized output combine “wireless access + industrial data” in one box.
Scale & coverage oriented:
Designed for large deployments; range depends on environment/installation for scenario-based planning.
Security & runtime assurance
Trusted boot/security mechanisms plus watchdog and power-loss protection enhance stability and security.
Programmable platform
Linux with container support enables custom edge apps and processing logic for fast scenario delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the EC312-LoRaWAN Gateway offer?

The EC312-LoRaWAN is an industrial LoRaWAN concentrator — a gateway that aggregates LoRa end-node traffic and forwards it to a network server (built-in or external). Highlights:

——

Four SKUs (selected by cellular region and LoRa frequency plan):

SKUCellularLoRa frequency planRegion

EC312-H-FQ53-L868 EMEA Cat 1EU868EMEA
EC312-H-FQ33-L915 NA Cat 1US915 / AS923North America
EC312-H-FQ53-L915 EMEA Cat 1US915 / AS923EMEA exporting to NA / APAC bands
EC312-H-LQA3-L470 China Cat 1CN470China

> Note: North-American models use 2× SMA for the LTE antenna (main + diversity); other regions use 1× SMA.

Target applications per the datasheet: smart city (building / lighting management), smart manufacturing (monitoring / predictive maintenance), smart energy (wind-turbine remote start), smart agriculture (environmental monitoring, irrigation).

  1. Mount to a 35 mm DIN rail or panel using the supplied bracket.
  2. Connect antennas at the SMA connectors: 1× LoRaWAN, 1× LTE (or 2× for NA models), 1× Wi-Fi, 1× GPS/GNSS. The LoRaWAN antenna placement determines coverage — keep it elevated and clear of metal obstructions.
  3. Insert SIM(s) into the dual nano-SIM slots if cellular is needed.
  4. Connect power to the DC 9–48 V terminal. The supercapacitor activates on first charge; if external power is then lost, the gateway shuts down safely within ~20 seconds and triggers a power-failure alarm.
  5. Connect a PC via Ethernet — ETH1 defaults to 192.168.3.100 , ETH2 defaults to 192.168.4.100 . Set your PC adapter to a static IP in the matching subnet (e.g., 192.168.4.x ).
  6. Open a browser to https://192.168.4.100:9100 (HTTPS only on port 9100; HTTP auto-redirects). Log in with username adm and the password printed on the device nameplate.

For headless / shell access, SSH into the same IP as user edge (password on the nameplate). The root account is disabled for SSH; use sudo -s to escalate. IEOS owns network management — do not run native Linux network commands while IEOS is running, or stop it first with systemctl stop ieos_daemon .

Verify status via the front-panel LEDs: PWR (red, always on when powered), STATUS (yellow, flashing in normal operation), NET (green steady = network connected, flashing = dialing).

In the IEOS web GUI, the LoRaWAN page offers three modes: Off, Packet Forward, or Built-in Network Server.

Packet Forward (to an external NS):

  • UDP — enter up to 5 NS server addresses + port; configurable keepalive interval (default 10 s) and max keepalive failures; tick which CRC outcomes to forward (CRC OK on by default; CRC invalid / missing off by default).
  • MQTT — enter broker IP + port + Client ID + optional username/password and TLS (CA or self-signed); choose JSON or binary (protobuf) data format and QoS; the topic prefix is prepended to defaults like gateway/{{gateway_dev_eui}}/event/up and .../stats .

Built-in Network Server (ChirpStack):

  • The Region is fixed by the model (display-only). Match the Frequency Plan to the end-node and the NS. Configure ADR, Min/Max TX Data Rate, Rx1 Delay (1–15 s), RX1 Data Rate Offset, and RX2 Frequency / Data Rate.
  • The local MQTT integration broker runs at 127.0.0.1:9121 (credentials carrier / mqtt@carrier ). MQTT topics follow the standard ChirpStack pattern: application/{{app_id}}/device/{{dev_eui}}/up , .../down , .../join , .../txack , .../status .

ChirpStack initial setup workflow:

  1. From the IEOS LoRaWAN page → Built-in LNS → Go to Network Server Manage Page.
  2. Log in with default credentials admin / admin and change them immediately.
  3. Add Gateway — Gateway EUI is shown on the IEOS Overview status page.
  4. Add Device Profile — set MAC version and regional parameters per end-node spec.
  5. Add Application — generates an Application ID used in MQTT topics.
  6. Add Device — enter Device EUI, Join EUI, and Application Key from the end-node manufacturer.
  7. Test — trigger end-node data and verify in the ChirpStack Events tab; use the Queue tab to test Class C downlinks.

Pick the EC312-LoRaWAN Gateway when the deployment needs LoRaWAN end-node aggregation — sensors over LoRa, ChirpStack-managed networks, or Packet-Forward to The Things Stack — with cellular/Wi-Fi/Ethernet backhaul. Pick the EC312 Edge Computer when the deployment needs general-purpose Linux edge compute with cellular and richer industrial I/O via expansion modules, without a LoRa radio.
