Onboard your gateways to AWS IoT Core for LoRaWAN
If you're using AWS IoT Core for LoRaWAN for the first time, you can add your first LoRaWAN gateway and device by using the console.
Note
If you're using a public network to connect your LoRaWAN devices to the cloud, you can skip onboarding your gateways. For more information, see Managing LoRaWAN traffic from public LoRaWAN devices networks (Everynet).
Before onboarding your gateway
Before you onboard your gateway to AWS IoT Core for LoRaWAN, we recommend that you:
-
Use gateways that are qualified for use with AWS IoT Core for LoRaWAN. These gateways connect to AWS IoT Core without any additional configuration settings and have a version 2.0.4 or later of the LoRa Basics Station
software running on them. For more information, see Managing gateways with AWS IoT Wireless. -
Consider the naming convention of the resources that you create so that you can more easily manage them. For more information, see Describing your AWS IoT Wireless resources.
-
Have the configuration parameters that are unique to each gateway ready to enter in advance, which makes entering the data into the console go more smoothly. The wireless gateway configuration parameters that AWS IoT requires to communicate with and manage the gateway include the gateway's EUI and its LoRa frequency band.
