Introduction
This user manual describes how to get started with the P-NUCLEO-LRWAN2 and P-NUCLEO-LRWAN3 starter packs.
Hardware and software setups are discussed in detail, together with the setup of supported network and application servers.
The P-NUCLEO-LRWAN2 starter pack supports the higher frequency bands (868 MHz and 915 MHz). It includes:
•
A sensor node based on STMicroelectronics NUCLEO-L073RZ Nucleo board and USI
®
I-NUCLEO-LRWAN1 LoRa
®
expansion board with antenna
•
A LoRaWAN
®
gateway based on STMicroelectronics NUCLEO-F746ZG Nucleo board and RisingHF LRWAN_GS_HF1
expansion board with antenna
The P-NUCLEO-LRWAN3 starter pack supports the lower frequency bands (433 MHz and 470 MHz). It includes:
•
A sensor node based on STMicroelectronics NUCLEO-L073RZ Nucleo board and RisingHF LRWAN_NS1 LoRa
®
expansion board
•
A LoRaWAN
®
gateway based on STMicroelectronics NUCLEO-F746ZG Nucleo board and RisingHF LRWAN_GS_LF1
expansion board
• Antennas
This user manual also describes the I-CUBE-LRWAN STM32Cube Expansion Package for the sensor node, and the gateway
binary software.

1 P-NUCLEO-LRWAN2 starter pack overview
Figure 2 shows an overview of the P-NUCLEO-LRWAN2 starter pack, which includes a LoRaWAN
®
sensor
device and gateway as well as the antennas.
Instructions at the back of the insert card guide the users on how to power up and configure the sensor device
and gateway and setup the network.
The starter pack is configured to use the EU868 frequency band with the sensor device in OTAA mode and
the gateway forwarding the packets to Loriot EU1 server. The pack is user configurable by firmware and by AT
commands.

development kit (P-NUCLEO-LRWAN2 starter pack)
The antennas in this product are assembled and locked with the boards, which was not the case in earlier
versions. They do not have to be removed by users to comply with FCC regulations. The current product
packaging is adapted to this configuration. Visuals and illustrations in the related technical documents may differ
from the current product version.
