LoRaWAN mini gateway 6 LoRaWAN introduction The LoRaWAN communication takes place in two directions, up (from mote to gateway) and down (from gateway to mote). The mini gateway can send and receive LoRaWAN messages both ways, as shown in Figure 1.
Data Bytes in Hex Data send from mote or gateway Table 3: Message information The MAC Header specifies the message type and the version of the LoRaWAN protocol used. Bits 7 – 5 4 – 2 1 – 0 Field...
=ADDR [Address] [Address] = The address that is set. 8.2 DRDW – Datarate down This command is used for the datarate that is used on the down channel of the LoRaWAN communication, see Figure 1. To set the datarate use:...
LoRaWAN mini gateway 8.3 DRUP – Datarate up This command is used for the datarate that is used on the up channel of the LoRaWAN communication, see Figure 1. To set the datarate use: #DRUP[Datarate] The [Datarate] values are listed in Table 6.
LoRaWAN mini gateway =CHDW [Channel Description] 8.5 CHUP – Channel up This command is used for the channel that is used on the up channel of the LoRaWAN communication, see Figure 1. To set the channel use: #CHUP[Channel] The [Channel] can have the values listed in Table 7.
LoRaWAN mini gateway *APPK[Key] To request the current key use: ?APPK The reply will be: =APPK[Key] 8.8 SACK – Send ACK The SACK command determines if the ACK bit of the Frame control field is set in messages send from the mini gateway.
=Tx timing Yes/No 8.10 TXCF – Transmit Confirmation The transmit confirmation sets the LoRaWAN message type that is send. If you sent a confirmed message you request an ACK from either the mote or the gateway, the message is sent to. For more information see chapter 7.
LoRaWAN mini gateway To set the direction use: #TXDI[Value] Where [Value] is: 00 = Up 01 = Down The response is: *Tx Direction Up/Down To request the current direction use: ?TXDI The response is: =Tx Direction Up/Down 8.12 DATA – Send data This command is used to send data to the node or gateway with all the settings done with de different commands.
