Laird

Sentrius RG1XX LoRa® gateway

The Laird gateway can be configured in two ways:

  • MQTT Forwarder
  • Semtech Forwarder

Note: The first option is not (yet) compatible with ChirpStack Network Server v3 as the Laird gateway comes with ChirpStack Gateway Bridge v2. In case you would like to use this gateway with ChirpStack Network Server v3, use the second option.

MQTT Forwarder

Note: The ChirpStack Gateway Bridge v2 component comes pre-installed since firmware version 93.7.2.9. If your gateway is running an older version, please update it first.

The pre-installed ChirpStack Gateway Bridge can be configured through the gateway web-interface using the following steps:

  • Login into the gateway web-interface.
  • In the top navigation bar, click on LoRa.
  • In the left navigation menu, click Forwarder.
  • From the Mode dropdown, select MQTT Forwarder.
  • Enter your MQTT Server Address and optionally the MQTT Username and Password.

Semtech Forwarder

For this option you need to install the ChirpStack Gateway Bridge component first on a server. See the Install Documentation for more information.

The Semtech (UDP) Forwarder can be configured through the gateway web-interface using the following steps:

  • Login into the gateway web-interface.
  • In the top navigation bar, click on LoRa.
  • In the left navigation menu, click Forwarder.
  • Fromt he Mode dropdown, select Semtech Forwarder.
  • As Network Server Address enter the address of your ChirpStack Gateway Bridge instance.
