Gateway Integration

The following instructions are to be followed to onboard LoRaWAN gateways to work with the myDevices Network Server.

Configure Packet Forwarder#

The Semtech packet forwarder config.json file needs to be configured to regional frequencies and on Sub-Band 2 (FSB2)

info

myDevices uses the Sub-Band 2 (FSB2) channels.

For any other specific regions, please refer to the TTN Frequency Plan page: https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/docs/lorawan/frequency-plans.html

Gateway Server Addresses#

Set the server_address of the gateway_conf to one of the address below, according to the region.

Example

{
[...]
"gateway_conf": {
"server_address": "us-2.lns.mydevices.com",
"serv_port_up": 1700,
"serv_port_down": 1700,
[...]
}
}

For other regions, refer to the table below:

Australiaau-2.lns.mydevices.com
Asiaas-2.lns.mydevices.com
Indiain-2.lns.mydevices.com
Japanjp-2.lns.mydevices.com

Cronjob / Watchdog / Monit Service#

The gateway should include a cronjob / watchdog that will check every 1-5 minutes to see if the packet forwarder is running. If the packet forwarder is not running, the cronjob should then restart the packet forwarder.

Here is an example of a cronjob we have used for the Semtech Packet Forwarder:

*/5 * * * * /bin/bash -c 'export PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin; if ! ps -ef | grep lora_pkt_fwd | grep -v grep >/dev/null; then /etc/init.d/lora-packet-forwarder restart; fi

Registration#

After configuring the gateway, please submit a support ticket to register the gateway to our network server. Please, be sure to include the Gateway EUI.
