| - | ====== Packet forwarder ====== | ||
| - | ===== What is the packet forwarder ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | The packet forwarder is a program running on the host of a Lora gateway. It forwards RF packets received by the gateway to a server through a IP/UDP link, and emits RF packets that are sent by the server.\\ | ||
| - | |||
| - | Every X seconds the program displays statistics about the received and sent RF packets, and about the received and sent network datagrams. The program also send a few statistics to the server in JSON format.\\ | ||
| - | |||
| - | For a full packet forwarder description and the way it works, read the "Semtech readme file" available in each packet forwarder [[wiki:resources#semtech_packet_forwarder_v2|resource page]]. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== How to install the packet forwarder? ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | <fc #4682b4>**Step 1** - Choose the packet forwarder to install from the [[wiki:resources#semtech_packet_forwarder_v2|resource page]]. Choosing the last version of the packet forwarder is recommended.</fc>\\ | ||
| - | <fc #4682b4>**Step 2** - Retrieve the current firmware and FPGA versions.</fc>\\ | ||
| - | <fc #4682b4>**Step 3** - Check that they are compatible with the packet forwarder (from compatibility section of the packet forwarder page). If there are not update them ([[wiki:sw_updates|software updates page]].</fc>).\\ | ||
| - | <fc #4682b4>**Step 4** - Download the packet forwarder precompiled .ipk file.</fc>\\ | ||
| - | <fc #4682b4>**Step 5** - Install the .ipk file using the instructions of the [[wiki:sw_updates|software updates page]].</fc> | ||

| - | ===== How to configure and monitor the packet forwarder? ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | * [[wiki:loraloc_spf-5.1.0| Wirnet™ iBTS Packet Forwarder v5.1.0 - instructions (February 2018)]] | ||
| - | |||
| - | * [[wiki:loraloc_spf-4.0.0| Wirnet™ iBTS Packet Forwarder v4.0.0 - instructions (June 2017)]] | ||
| - | |||
| - | * [[wiki:loraloc_spf-3.3.1| Wirnet™ iBTS Packet Forwarder v3.3.1 and lower - instructions (January 2017)]] | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | * The associated semtech HAL is indicated in the name of IPK: | ||
| - | * ''packet-forwarder-v2_<version>-**<HAL>**_klk_lpbs.ipk'' | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | <note important> | ||
| - | Due to firewall modification in firmware v3.3.3, the packet forwarders, version 5.1.0 and lower, need to be specially configurated for this firmware version. \\ \\ | ||
| - | |||
| - | Modify the firewall rules in the file ''/user/spf2/bin/execute_spf2.sh''. \\ | ||
| - | In files, the rules must be add with ''iptables -I'' command instead of ''iptables -A'' command. \\ | ||
| - | The following commands will correctly adapt the script ''/user/spf2/bin/execute_spf2.sh'': | ||
| - | |||
| - | <code> | ||
| - | sed -i "/null/ s/-A/-I/" /user/spf2/bin/execute_spf2.sh | ||
| - | /etc/init.d/firewall restart | ||
| - | monit restart spf2 | ||
| - | </code> | ||
