| - | To understand how the frequency configuration works, it is necessary to know that the Wirnet iFemtoCell hardware contains an RF front-ends connected to 2 SX1257 chips. A look at the [[wiki:lora_features#lora_specific_hardware|]] may help to understand. Each of these chips has a 0.8 MHz Bandwidth. Thus, all 8 channels must be contained within these two 0.8 MHz intervals.\\ | + | To understand how the frequency configuration works, it is necessary to know that the Wirnet iFemtoCell hardware contains an RF front-ends connected to 2 SX1257 chips.

| - | ==== gateway EUI ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Gateway EUI is used by LNS to identify from which gateway messages come from. | ||
| - | |||
| - | By default, EUI are generated this way: | ||
| - | |||
| - | * Wirnet iBTS : 7276FF002E<last 6 characters of the CPU serial number> | ||
| - | * Wirnet iFemtoCell : 7276FF00<last 8 characters of the CPU board serial number> | ||
| - | |||
| - | When lorafwd starts, a file containing the default EUI is generated. | ||
| - | |||
| - | <code bash> | ||
| - | cat /var/run/lora/gateway-id.toml | ||
| - | gateway.id = 0x7276FF002E050789 | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | If a new EUI has been defined under ''/user/etc/lorafwd'', then, this new EUI is used by lorafwd. Otherwise, the default EUI is used. | ||
