ASAS Documentation

# LoRaWAN Configuration

The ASAS Gateway comes with LoRaWAN settings pre-configured for typical deployments in Malaysia using the AS923 region and its integrated Network Server. This section outlines these default settings and how your data is handled.

You can view most of these settings in the LoRaWAN or Gateway section in the Web Interface.

# Default LoRaWAN Settings

The following settings are factory configured for optimal performance:

  • Region: Preset to AS923. This configuration is optimized for use in Malaysia and compatible regions using this frequency plan.
  • Channel Plan: The channel plan defaults to the standard AS923 configuration.
  • Antenna Gain: Set to 4 dBi by default, matching the standard antenna provided with the ASAS Gateway.
    • Important: If you intend to use a different antenna with a different gain, please contact us for assistance. Correct antenna gain configuration is crucial for optimal performance and regulatory compliance.

# Data Handling: Built-in Network Server & MQTT

The ASAS Gateway utilizes its Built-in LoRaWAN Network Server by default. This means raw LoRaWAN packets from your end-devices are processed directly on the gateway.

Key Features of the Built-in Server:

  • Local Processing: Handles device activation (OTAA/ABP), uplink data decryption, and downlink scheduling.
  • Data Output via MQTT: Decoded application data from your LoRaWAN end-devices is published to our central MQTT server. Your applications can subscribe to this server to receive data.

MQTT Server Details:

  • Server Address: mqtt.5ir.tech
  • Port: 9005
  • Topics: data

# Using an External LoRaWAN Network Server

By default, the ASAS Gateway uses its integrated Built-in Network Server, and packet forwarding to an external server is not active.

  • Custom Configuration: If your project specifically requires forwarding LoRaWAN data to a different, external LoRaWAN Network Server , this is considered a custom setup.
  • Please contact us for assistance if you need to configure the gateway to forward packets to an external LNS. We can guide you through the necessary steps.
