Use NetworkServer Module with external gateway? #2127

Closed roman-ruthofer closed 6 months ago

roman-ruthofer commented 6 months ago

Description We are using the following indoor lora gateway https://www.thermokon.de/direct/en-gb/categories/gateway-lrw-indoor-femto

Is there any way to use the NetworkServer Module with such external gateways? It seems like the gateway is using UDP and the NetworkServer Module only exports TCP Ports.

Hi,

Network server supports Lora Basic station connectivity.

It seems that regarding the datasheet of your gateway that is also supported.

I suggest you to look at this side.

I'll have a look. Thanks!

@kbeaugrand I'm still confused if I need an edge device with "Lora Board" or if I can run it on any device running IoT Edge Runtime. I can't find a clear answer to this in the documentation. And my BaseStation log shows the error [HAL:ERRO] [lgw_start:742] FAIL TO CONNECT BOARD.

NetworkServer can run on every machine where iotedge runtime works... it doesn't require a LoRaWan antenna
