The LoRaWAN I/O Server implements both a LoRaWAN Network and Application servers for the integration of a LoRaWAN network.
HSYCO acts as a server for one or more LoRaWAN gateways configured as standard Semtech packet forwarders. Communication is carried on UDP packets.
The implementation complies with the Semtech's paket forwarder protocol v4.0.1 and supports Class A end devices using unconfirmed data frames and ABP authentication.
Contents
HSYCO Configuration
Add a LORAWAN I/O Server in the I/O Servers section of the Settings and set its parameters:
Note: only one instance of the LORAWAN I/O Server is allowed and it consumes one item for each defined gateway from the I/O Servers license total.
High Availability
- Shutdown when inactive: defaults to true.
Options
| ID | Default | Values | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| localport | 1700 | <port_number> | the IP port number used locally by HSYCO to listen for incoming UDP packets sent by the gateways |
| debug | false | true | print debugging information to the logs |
| false | don't print debugging information to the logs |
LoRaWAN Utility
Use the LoRaWAN Utility to automatically discover gateways and devices and setup communication and functional parameters.
Gateways Configuration
The LoRaWAN gateway(s) that will be used need to be configured to forward the received device data frames to HSYCO.
To this end, configure the gateway(s) as standard Semtech packet forwarder(s). Make sure the network configuration allows for the communication with HSYCO and use HSYCO's IP address and the port number specified in the "localport" option for the network server's configuration.

Downlink frame JSON format
Datapoint "dev.<id>.queue" accepts as value a JSON object with the following attributes:
- data: hexadecimal representation of the data
- channel: Cayenne channel
- value: value for the specified Cayenne channel
- port: port number to send the data to
- attempts: number of attempts made to deliver the frame to the gateway before discarding it
- txpk: JSON object with the metadata fields to include in the downlink packet:
- codr: Coding rate
- datr: Data rate

- For additional fields see here
The attribute "data" or both "channel" and "value" are mandatory; if "data" is specified, "channel" and "value" are ignored. All other attributes are optional. When not specified, default values will be used based on the device's settings and on the latest received packet.
Example 1 (spaces added for readability):
{
"data": "aa330b",
"port": 7,
"attempts": 5,
"txpk" : {
"codr": "4/5",
"powe": 14,
"datr": "SF7BW125",
"rfch":0
