4.6.2 Configuring LoRa Service
4.6.2.1 Pktfwd Config

update region

$ cat /etc/ed_gwl/region
EU868 # EU868 / US915
pktfwd use 1700 as UDP port
$ sudo systemctl restart ed-pktfwd.service
4.6.2.2 chirpstack-gateway-bridge Configuration
You can use nano to edit the configuration file chirpstack-gateway- bridge.toml.
$ sudo nano /etc/chirpstack-gateway-bridge/chirpstack-gateway-bridge.toml

This configuration provides a Semtech UDP packet-forwarder backend and

integrates with a MQTT broker. Many options and defaults have been omitted

for simplicity.

See https://www.chirpstack.io/gateway-bridge/install/config/ for a

full

configuration example and documentation.

Gateway backend configuration.

[backend] # Backend type.
type=”semtech_udp”

Semtech UDP packet-forwarder backend.

[backend.semtech_udp] # ip:port to bind the UDP listener to

Example: 0.0.0.0:1700 to listen on port 1700 for all network interfaces.

This is the listener to which the packet-forwarder forwards its data

so make sure the ‘serv_port_up’ and ‘serv_port_down’ from your

packet-forwarder matches this port.

udp_bind = “0.0.0.0:1700″

Integration configuration.

[integration] # Payload marshaler.

This defines how the MQTT payloads are encoded. Valid options are:

* protobuf: Protobuf encoding

* json: JSON encoding (easier for debugging, but less compact than

‘protobuf’)
marshaler=”protobuf”

MQTT integration configuration.

[integration.mqtt] # Event topic template.
event_topic_template=”eu868/gateway/{{ .GatewayID }}/event/{{ .EventType }}”

Command topic template.

command_topic_template=”eu868/gateway/{{ .GatewayID }}/command/#”

MQTT authentication.

[integration.mqtt.auth] # Type defines the MQTT authentication type to use.

Set this to the name of one of the sections below.

type=”generic”

Generic MQTT authentication.

[integration.mqtt.auth.generic] # MQTT server (e.g. scheme://host:port where scheme is tcp, ssl or ws)
server=”tcp://127.0.0.1:1883″

Connect with the given username (optional)

username=””

Connect with the given password (optional)

password=””
• ‘event_topic_template / command_topic_template’ needs to modify the prefix with gateway zone.
Example:
event_topic_template=”eu868/gateway/{{ .GatewayID }}/event/{{ .EventType }}”
If you use the US915 or CN470 module, please change the prefix eu868 to us915_0/cn470_10.
event_topic_template=”us915_0/gateway/{{ .GatewayID }}/event/{{ .EventType }}”
• The server address of integration.mqtt needs to be your chirpstack server.
$ sudo systemctl restart chirpstack-gateway-bridge.service
After modify chirpstack-gateway-bridge.toml config，need restart chirpstack- gateway-bridge service.
4.6.2.3 Reboot
$ sudo reboot
