Overview

This guide is designed to assist users in configuring the R3000LG device to connect to the Loriot LoRaWAN network server using the Base Station TLS protocol. The following steps will guide you through the configuration process.

Prerequisites

The R3000LG device is properly installed and operational.
A valid Loriot account with network server access permissions.

Select the “Basics Station Semtech”
Enter the gateway’s MAC address and location information.
Click Register Basics Station Semtech gateway

Step 3: Configure TLS Certificates

Obtain the TLS CA certificate, key, and certificate files from the Loriot dashboard.
Transfer these files to the R3000LG device.

Step 4: Set Base Station Parameters

Access the R3000LG management interface.
Configure the Base Station parameters, including server address, port, and TLS authentication.
Upload the tls Certification

Step 5: Test the Connection

Save the configuration and restart the device.
Check the connection status and verify data transmission.

Troubleshooting

If the connection fails, ensure the TLS certificates are correctly installed.
Verify that the network server address and port settings are accurate.

Conclusion

Connecting an R3000LG to Loriot with Base Station TLS is complete only after the gateway reports an active Loriot connection and valid LoRaWAN uplinks appear in the platform. This confirms both secure authentication and end-to-end packet forwarding.
