Summary
Package: system,lora
Every RouterBOARD with a miniPCI-e interface which supports LTE modems could also be turn in LoRaWAN gateway by installation of R11e-LoRa8 or R11e-LoRa9 card.
Warning: RouterOS doesn`t support 3rd party LoRaWAN gateway cards
Properties
Sub-menu: /lora
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| antenna-gain (integer [-128..127]; Default: 0) | Antenna gain in dBi. |
| channel-plan (as-923 | au-915 | custom | eu-868 | in-865 | kr-920 | ru-864 | us-915; Default: eu-868) | Frequency plans for various regions. |
| disabled (yes | no; Default: yes) | Whether LoRaWAN gateway is disabled. |
| forward (crc-disabled | crc-error | crc-valid; Default: crc-valid,crc-error) | Defines what kind of packets should be forwarded to Network server:
|
| lbt-enabled (yes | no; Default: no) | Whether gateway should use LBT (Listen Before Talk) protocol. |
| listen-time (integer [0us..4294967295us]; Default: 5000us) | Time in microseconds to track RSSI before TX (used when lbt-enabled=yes). |
| name (string; Default: ) | Name of LoRaWAN gateway. |
| network (private | public; Default: public) | Whether sync word should be used (network=private) or shouldn`t (network=public). |
| rssi-threshold (integer [-32,768 .. 32,767]; Default: -65dB) | RSSI value to determine whether forwarder may use specific channel to talk. If RSSI value is below rssi-threshold, channel could be used (used when lbt-enabled=yes). |
| servers (list of string; Default: ) | Name or names of servers from /lora servers. |
| src-address (IP; Default: ) | Specifies uplink packet source address if necessary (address should match an address configured on the RB). |
Channels
Sub-menu: /lora channels
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| bandwidth (7.8_kHz | 15.6_kHz | 31.2_kHz | 62.5_kHz | 125_kHz | 250_kHz | 500_kHz; Default: 125_kHz) | Bandwidth of specific channel, pre-defined when any of channel-plan preset is used, but could be manually changed when channel-plan is set to custom. |
| disabled (yes | no; Default: no) | Whether specific channel is disabled. |
| freq-off (integer [Hz]; Default: ) | Channel frequency offset against radio central frequency, it makes possible to adjust channel frequencies so that channels doesn`t overlap. |
| radio (radio0 | radio1; Default: ) | Defines which radio uses selected channel. |
| spread-factor (SF7 | SF8 | SF9 | SF10 | SF11 | SF12; Default: ) | Defines the Spread Factor for a channel with type=LoRa. Lower Spread Factor means higher data rate. |
Radios
Sub-menu: /lora radios
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| center-freq (integer [0..4294967295Hz]; Default: ) | Defines radio central frequency, default value depends on selected channel-plan. |
| disabled (yes | no; Default: no) | Whether radio is disabled. |
| rssi-off (integer; Default: -162) | Used to calculate precise RSSI level of received packets |
| tx-enabled (yes | no; Default: ) | Whether radio is used for transmission. By default one of radios has set tx-enabled=yes and the other has set tx-enabled=no. |
| tx-freq-min (integer [0..4294967295Hz]; Default: ) | |
| tx-freq-max (integer [0..4294967295Hz]; Default: ) |
Servers
Sub-menu: /lora servers
There are two pre-defined servers that could be used (it requires to make an | The Things Network account to use them):
[admin@MikroTik] > lora servers print # NAME UP-PORT DOWN-PORT ADDRESS 0 TTN-EU 1700 1700 eu.mikrotik.thethings.industries 1 TTN-US 1700 1700 us.mikrotik.thethings.industries
Of course, custom servers can be added too.
