Use the LoRa Network Server Configuration settings for the LoRa networking configured on the Conduit. When LoRa is enabled, the Conduit acts as a network server allowing end-points to join with the correct credentials on the correct frequency and sub-band. Configured LoRa for either the 915 frequency band (NAM), or the 868 frequency band (EU). For NAM, the 915 band allows 8 sub-bands. For the EU, the 868 band has three default channels and five configurable channels.<\/p>\n

Use the TX Power setting to control the gateway’s transmission power. The Rx 1 DR Offset and RX 2 Datarate are sent with a join response to configure the data rates used for receive windows. The offset is applied to the upstream data rate for reception on the first window.<\/p>\n
