[release] LoRa Gateway Bridge v3.2.0-test.1

v3.2.0-test.1

Features

NetID and JoinEUI filters

Configuration options have been implemented to filter uplink messages on netID and JoinEUI. This makes it possible to ignore messages from neighboring to save on bandwidth usage (e.g. when the gateway is using a cellular backhaul).

Execute commands

This feature makes it possible to execute commands on the gateway (when the LoRa Gateway Bridge is running on the gateway). Note: commands must be pre-configured in the LoRa Gateway Bridge configuration file.


Testing

After installing the test-release, you can generate a new configuration file as documented: https://www.loraserver.io/lora-gateway-bridge/install/config/#configuration-file.

lora-gateway-bridge configfile --config lora-gateway-bridge-old.toml > lora-gateway-bridge-new.toml

Or:

/path/to/lora-gateway-bridge configfile --config lora-gateway-bridge-old.toml > lora-gateway-bridge-new.toml

This configuration file will contain examples and documentation with regards to the filters and command execution features.

Since no one else has mentioned it, we have been testing filtering on both NetID and JoinEUI, and it’s working beautifully. Cutting out all that extra traffic is very helpful (extra processing that we’re doing, more so than bandwidth).
