Document the allowed f_port values while scheduling the downlink via MQTT integration #537

Closed ymgupta closed 3 years ago

ymgupta commented 3 years ago

Summary

The customers are either missing to specify the f_port value or specifying the wrong f_port value while scheduling the downlink via MQTT integration. We believe the applications server cannot show the validations error as the connection between the MQTT client and broker will be closed after the messages are published. Hence, we need to mention the allowed values for f_port in the documentation so that the customer will be aware of it.

Why do we need this ?

This will help the customers to schedule the downlinks with the allowed f_port values to avoid errors in downlink scheduling.

What is already there? What do you see now?

Documentation on MQTT integration with different clients and how to schedule downlinks. Ref: https://www.thethingsindustries.com/docs/integrations/mqtt/mqtt-clients/

What is missing? What do you want to see?

A note point mentioning the allowed values (1..223) for the f_port attribute. Ref: https://lora-alliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/lorawan1_0_2-20161012_1398_1.pdf

I'm going to be really busy for the next couple weeks creating the generic node conference documentation and content, so @ymgupta @i3mSuperMan please assign @nejraselimovic for these documentation improvements.
