| - | ===== 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 an UDP/IP 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 sends 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? ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | - Choose the packet forwarder to install from the [[wiki:resources#semtech_packet_forwarder_v2|resource page]]. Choosing the latest version of the packet forwarder is recommended. | ||
| - | - Retrieve the matching firmware and FPGA packages (check compatibility on the packet forwarder page). Update them if necessary (see [[wiki:sw_updates|software updates page]]). | ||
| - | - Download the packet forwarder precompiled ''.ipk'' file. | ||
| - | - Install the ''.ipk'' file using the instructions of the [[wiki:sw_updates|software updates page]]. | ||
