Managing LPWAN Gateways and Devices

The gateway-profiles configure your gateways to listen on a set of frequencies (given that you have configured this too in your LoRa Gateway Bridge configuration).

The [[network_server.network_settings.extra_channels]] configure extra channels (that are not defined by the LoRaWAN Regional Parameters specification) for your device to transmit on.

The enabled_uplink_channels define which channel-numbers as specified by the LoRaWAN Regional Parameters are enabled.

  • When you prefer to configure your gateway manually (by editing global_conf.json or local_conf.json), then you can forget about the gateway-profiles completely :slight_smile:

Examples:

US band

loraserver.toml

enabled_uplink_channels=[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]

Gateway-profile

Configure the frequencies that map to channels 0 - 7.

EU band

loraserver.toml

enabled_uplink_channels=[] (when left blank this implies all uplink channels active, thus enabled_uplink_channels=[0, 1, 2]
[[network_server.network_settings.extra_channels]] use this to configure channel 3 - 7 (optional extra channels).

Gateway-profile

Configure the channels that map to 0 - 2 (default LoRaWAN channels) + optionally also the frequencies of channel 3 - 7 that you defined yourself.
