Device profile

The Device Profile defines the device capabilities and boot parameters that are needed by ChirpStack Network Server to "connect" with a device.

LoRaWAN® Backend Interface

The following fields are described by the LoRaWAN Backend Interfaces specification. Fields marked with an X are implemented by ChirpStack Network Server.

  • SupportsClassB End-Device supports Class B
  • ClassBTimeout Maximum delay for the End-Device to answer a MAC request or a confirmed DL frame (mandatory if class B mode supported)
  • PingSlotPeriod Mandatory if class B mode supported
  • PingSlotDR Mandatory if class B mode supported
  • PingSlotFreq Mandatory if class B mode supported
  • SupportsClassC End-Device supports Class C
  • ClassCTimeout Maximum delay for the End-Device to answer a MAC request or a confirmed DL frame (mandatory if class C mode supported)
  • MACVersion Version of the LoRaWAN supported by the End-Device
  • RegParamsRevision Revision of the Regional Parameters document supported by the End-Device
  • SupportsJoin End-Device supports Join (OTAA) or not (ABP)
  • RXDelay1 Class A RX1 delay (mandatory for ABP)
  • RXDROffset1 RX1 data rate offset (mandatory for ABP)
  • RXDataRate2 RX2 data rate (mandatory for ABP)
  • RXFreq2 RX2 channel frequency (mandatory for ABP)
  • FactoryPresetFreqs List of factory-preset frequencies (mandatory for ABP)
  • MaxEIRP Maximum EIRP supported by the End-Device
  • MaxDutyCycle Maximum duty cycle supported by the End-Device
  • RFRegion RF region name (automatically set by ChirpStack Network Server)
  • Supports32bitFCnt End-Device uses 32bit FCnt (mandatory for LoRaWAN 1.0 End-Device) (always set to true)

Geolocation buffer

The following extra fields can be used to configure the geolocation buffer:

  • GeolocBufferTTL Maximum TTL for items in the geolocation buffer.
  • GeolocMinBufferSize Minimum required buffer size before using geolocation.
