CHAPTER 6: SETTINGS AND LOGS
6.1 SETTINGS
Once you click on Settings, you can make changes to several settings.
6.1.1 GATEWAY ID
Within the LoRaWAN
logic most devices that collect values from sensors are gateways because they just upload your
®
valued data to any cloud platform. While AW3000 is different since it does the JOIN Procedure and provides actions
and visualization, the Semtech chip used (SX1308) is still intended for gateway usage. The ID assigned is the prebuilt ID
(EUI64) of the Semtech Chip, and it cannot be changed. If you are running a redundant AW3000 domain (see Chapter
11: Tips and Tricks), a gateway ID list may appear here.
6.1.2 REGIONAL SETTING
Per regulations in most regions, users shall not have the ability to amend regional settings for radio devices. Per
standard Black Box processes and procedures, you received your AW3000 for the region that you ordered it from. The
chip used inside can handle more than just your region. If you purchase your AW3000 in one region and need to use it
in a different region, contact Black Box tech support. Once legal requirements are satisfied, a Black Box team member
can provide an unlock code, which enables you to change the regional setting in that hour.
NOTE: You will need to provide the Black Box support team with your Gateway ID (see above) and the current hour
in your timezone. For example, if you call at 1:50pm and you get your unlock code at 1:55pm it will be valid for
another 5 minutes.
For specific regions (America (North and South American countries), Australia, and Japan) an additional frequency
option is available, since these regions have a much larger frequency spectrum allowed for LoRaWAN. With that setting
you can select the frequency band on which you want to operate. The default is Band 1.
NOTES:
Some of the open source LoRaWAN cloud platforms use Band 2.
•
You need to select the band before joining sensors. If you joined sensors in Band 1 and change to Band 2, you
•
will no longer receive their transmissions. AW3000 will attempt to move them to the new frequency band, but
the change will not be effective immediately.
