acknowledgement of downlink packets

[piyush s]

Hi,

I was wondering if there is some way using which I could receive the acknowledgement from the downstream packets (from Conduit to end device) sent via the mosquitto_pub.

I have already gone through the link (http://www.multitech.net/developer/software/lora/conduit-mlinux-lora-communication/) and seen the section “Downstream packet options” with the option “ack” as true, but I am not sure what is the usage of this option.

I ran a command to send some data with this option as true, the command didn’t return anything.

Can someone please help me with this?

thanks,

Can we please have some response on this query?

If ack is set the network server will hold the payload until confirmation of packet receipt from the device.

If an uplink is received without the ACK bit set then the same packet will be sent to the device again.

This behavior will continue until ACK is received or the queue is cleared.

Could you please provide an example for this? This seems to be bit confusing to understand.

thanks,
