Adding Gateways to the NBnano Platform


Changing LNS Frequency Region

Before adding your gateways, you will need to ensure your NBnano is configured to the frequency that is applicable to your region. To do this navigate to Project–>LNS Configuration, then select the frequency that corresponds to your LoRaWAN region. If it is already set correctly you may proceed to the next step.

LoRaWAN Gateway Driver

To add a Gateway, go to the IQnexus market and find ‘LoRaWAN Gateway’. Click on Actions and select New Device.

Gateway Details

On the next screen fill in the gateway details:

DevEUI
This is the ID of the gateway. You can find this ID on the Packet Forward settings page in the gateway settings (192.168.55.1).

Name
The name you wish to associate with your gateway.

Press apply when done.

 

You should be taken back to Devices > Gateways and there you will see your new gateway. As soon as the Gateway connects to the NBnano, link status will show as green as. You may need to refresh the page for the status to change.

Debugging

If your gateway’s link status never changes to green, you must check the following settings:

– Assigned IPs of both the gateway and the NBnano are in the same network segment.
– The NBnano Platform is accessible through the LAN using a PC.
– The Server Ports in the Packet Forward Settings on the LoRaWAN Gateway are 1700.
