LoRa Basics Station #

TTN supports the LoRa Basics Station LNS protocol. LNS establishes a data connection between Basics Station and TTN, and is preferred over the legacy UDP Packet Forwarder.

Some of the advantages of Basics Station over the legacy UDP Packet Forwarder are:

Centralized Update and Configuration Management
TLS and Token-based Authentication
Centralized Channel-Plan Management
No Dependency on Local Time Keeping

Connecting Your Device #

To connect your device, use the following settings:

Server Address: wss://lns.{eu|us|in|au}.thethings.network:443
Server Certificate: see the certificates section

Check the I’m using the legacy packet forwarder button when registering your gateway in the console.

Legacy Packet Forwarder

NOTE: This is not the legacy packet forwarder, but internally this setting is correct.
