Low Data Consumption Mode Config(for 4G version)

This tutorial will guide users to configure the low data consumption mode for the M2 Multi-Platform Gateway 4G version. In this mode, the traffic per month is expected to be around 60M. The specific traffic depends on the nodes packets, etc.

note

1. The status display of the APP may be delayed
2. The network switch and RGB indicator light will change after 5 minutes

Check Firmware Version

Before configuring the low data consumption mode, check the OS and firmware version first.

tip

The OS version needs to be newer than 0.9.5
The firmware version needs to be newer than 1.1.6

Check the Quick Start to log in the Luci page.

Navigate to Status -> Overview, check the current OS and firmware version.

Upgrade OS

The OS firmware can‘t be updated automatically, so users need to manual operate it.

Navigate to System -> Backup/Flash Firmware, click Update.

danger

Keep the power connection during the upgrade period.

White List Config

This tab is used to filter out nodes you don't need to save traffic.

• For SenseCAP Mode, Nodes other than SenseCAP will be automatically filtered, don’t need additional configuration.

• For Packet Forwarder and Basic Station Mode, need to enable the White List Mode.

  tip

  If you are using AWS platform, you can skip this step, just config the white list on AWS console.

  

  OUI List: The first three bytes of the node EUI. Used to filter join-request packets.
  eg. for SenseCAP node, the OUI is '2CF7F1'

  Network ID List/DevAddr: Used to filter uplink packets.
  eg. for SenseCAP node,the NetID is '000013', DevAddr is '27000000 - 27FFFFFF'

  More details refer to NetID and DevAddr Prefix Assignments

Set PING Params

Used to check if the link is up, leave it blank to assume interface is always online.

Enable Low Data Consumption Mode

Enable the Low Data Consumption Mode, and set the alive time, default in SesneCAP Platform: 86400.

After settings, please restart the gateway to apply the changes.
