Semtech Packet Forwarder

A legacy forwarder typically used by developers during early-stage product development as many manufacturers pre-install it on their Gateways. It uses UDP communication (unsecured), provides minimal Device Class support, no traffic filtering, and any modification to its preconfigured channel plan must be performed manually. Onboarding requires simple configuration and registration. For full details please read the Generic Semtech Packet Forwarder

Note

Gateway registration and Software installation is only required for devices that are new to the Senet Network. If Senet provided the Gateway, no further action is necessary.
