fake_gps per server #1

Closed jpmeijers closed 7 years ago

jpmeijers commented 7 years ago

TTN wants us not to use fake_gps if a gateway does not have a GPS, as the location should be configured via the console. Other servers might still need the location in the status updates. See: https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/docs/gateways/registration.html#start-with-configuration

Recommendation: Add include_gps or a similar setting in the server block of the config.

In fact, the packet forwarder should get the gateway configuration on start, with the right frequency plan and location set in the Console.

@jpmeijers: an additional switch is not required, TTN delivery uses the ttn-gateway-connector (in ttn_transport.c) so not including the data in the status packets when fake_gps is set is sufficient.

@johanstokking: The software stack should get the correct configuration. This means the start script can take care of this using wget or something along those lines. There is no need to incorporate this into the packet forwarder.

(Just a FYI, @kersing: @ pings the github account you reference; you'd want @johanstokking next time.)
