LORIX OS User's guide LoRaWAN Settings Current: Antenna Antenna You gateway can have different antennas connected. The software has to know about which antenna is configured to adapt the output power adequately.By default, antenna type is not configured at all. If the antenna type is not configured, most of the packet forwarders will not run. Setting a bad antenna type will not damage the gateway. Available antenna types In v0.4.0-rc the antenna type was called "indoor" instead of 2dBi and "outdoor" instead of 4dBi. Antennas vary in two parameters : ingress protection and gain.Ingress protectionIndoor and outdoor antennas are available. Whether it's one or the other, this has no impact on the software and is therefore not to be configured.GainThe antennas are available in two different sizes corresponding to the gain:200mm (7,87 inches) : ~2dBi500mm (19,68 inches) : ~4dBiThe gain has to be configured.Check the antenna type GUI CLI The antenna type is shown on the LoRa > Status page, in the "Hardware widget". manager lora hardware antenna BASH Example output 4dBi antenna BASH Antenna type is stored at /etc/managet/antennaType Set the antenna type GUI CLI You can change the antenna type through the LoRa > Settings page, on the "Hardware" tab: Syntax sudo manager lora hardware antenna set <2dbi|4dbi> BASH Example sudo manager lora hardware antenna set 4dbi BASH ×
