Figure 9 | Packet Forwarder General Setup
As this is the most important part of the LoRaWAN Gateway, the number of settings and
options is greatest here. Thus, this section will be larger and provide information in more
detail than previous ones. For the aforementioned reasons this section has several
configuration tabs, which are listed in the following paragraphs. Additionally some of the
configuration options have their own documents, with detailed explanation of the
configuration process.
General Setup
This is where the core settings are: Gateway EUI, Frequency channels, etc.
Gateway EUI:
The value in this field is necessary for registering your gateway with any LoRaWAN Network
Server.
Protocol:
You have three options, which define how the Gateway will function:
Semtech UDP GWMP Protocol:
By default, this is the Semtech Packet Forwarder, which sends packets to the Server
Address of your choice (IP or URL). By default it points to the local TTN router.
The default port value is 1700 used by TTN.
One can also set parameters as the Push Timeout (ms), Statistic Interval (s), Keep Alive
Interval (s) and the Auto-restart Threshold.
