This page shows the LoRa Radio Settings. There are a set of default frequency band according to LoRaWAN protocol, and user can customized the band* as well. Different DLOS8 hardware version can support different frequency range: 868: valid frequency: 863Mhz ~ 870Mhz. for bands EU868, RU864, IN865 or KZ865.
5.2.2 LoRa --> ABP Decryption The DLOS8 can communicate with LoRaWAN ABP End Node without the need of LoRaWAN server. It can be used in some cases such as: No internet connection. User wants to get data forward in gateway and forward to their server based on MQTT/HTTP, etc.
This page is for the connection set up to a general LoRaWAN Network server such as: TTN, ChirpStack Note *: User can ignore the latitude and longitude settings here, DLOS8 will use the actually value from GPS module. **: Packet filter is to drop the unwanted LoRaWAN packet, instruction see here: http://wiki.dragino.com/index.php?title=Main_Page#Filter_unwanted_LoRaWAN_packets...
