API Reference

The application provider REST APIs allow system administrators to send downlinks and register/activate/deactivate devices on an application. Senet provides application administrators with an API key to authenticate API usage. Response messages are JSON-formatted.

Downlink API

Send downlink messages to devices on the managed application.

Parameter	Description	Required	Default Value	Allowed Values
eui	The IEEE EUI-64 identifier for the LoRa device.	Yes		Hexadecimal String
pdu	The PDU to send to the device.	Yes		Hexadecimal String
port	The port (fport) to send to the device.	No	1	1-254
confirmed	The flag to tell the receiving device to acknowledge the reception of the PDU.	No	false	true or false

Uplink API

A Device transmits an uplink messages to one or more gateways that relay the message to the network server. The network server forwards the message to an IoT platform.

Application Payload

The Senet Network receives payload data from devices via one or more gateways that receive the transmission. In addition to streaming the payload data (pdu), network information is also included. The data is formatted using JSON and contains the following default fields. Optional RF fields can also be added by enabling "Include RF Data" in the notification target.

The Senet Network supports the standard JSON object model where each object contains one-to-many key/values pairs. The JSON object is in the following format:

Note

Senet may add additional fields during future Portal updates. Please ensure that the application ignores any unknown fields and continue to parse the notification data.

{
   "Key":"String Value",
   "Key": Numeric Value
}

Fields

FieldName	DataType	Description
ack	Boolean	Flag indicating if the uplink was acknowledging the receipt of a downlink
devClass	String	LoRaWAN Class designation ("A", "B", "C") of the device
devEui	String	64-bit Extended Unique Identifier of the device transmitting the message
gwEui	String	64-bit Extended Unique Identifier of the receiving Gateway that processed the message
joinId	Number	Incrementing Integer used to Identify the last join
pdu	String	Protocol Data Unit or Customer Payload data
port	Number	0 indicates that the FRMPayload contains MAC commands only and 1..223 are application specific
seqNo	Number	Incrementing Integer used to Identify an uplink
txtime	String	Time the message was received by the gateway

Example:

{
   "ack":true,
   "devClass": "A" ,
   "devEui":"FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF",
   "gwEui":"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA",
   "joinId":216,
   "pdu":"01000016D7011400060E06",

   "seqno":1,
   "txtime":"2017-02-09T12:38:38.375Z"

}

RF Fields

The following fields can be added to the payload by enabling "Include RF Data" in the the notification target editor. This is only available to a user with with administrative privileges.

FieldName	DataType	Description

datarate	Number	Integer that maps to a spreading factor, bandwidth and bitrate
freq	Number	Transmit Frequency in MHz
rssi	Number	Received Signal Strength Indicator reported by receiving gateway
