Sensgreen LoRaWAN Network Server (LNS) is a robust and reliable component of the Sensgreen Smart Building Platform that plays a crucial role in managing LoRaWAN-connected devices within your building. LoRaWAN is a low-power, wide-area networking (LPWAN) protocol designed for long-range communication between IoT devices and gateways.
Gateways act as a bridge between sensor devices and the LoRaWAN network, collecting, packaging, and forwarding sensor data to the network. This enables the collection of sensor data over a large geographic area, facilitating remote monitoring and control applications.
Configure the Gateway for Sensgreen LNS
Step 1: Access the Gateway Interface
These step depends on the gateway's brand and model but generally there are options to connect via Wi-Fi or LAN. The credentials required for this connection are usually included on the product box or in the product's user manual. If not, you can obtain this information by contacting the manufacturer.
