 FAQ

 

9.1

 

 How can I configure for a customized frequency band? 

 

 

See below link for how to customize frequency band: 

 

http://wiki.dragino.com/index.php?title=Customized_Frequency_Band_for_Gateway

 

 

 

9.2

 

 Can I make my own firmware for the gateway, Where can I find the source 

code? 

 

Yes, You can make your own firmware for the LPS8N for branding purposes or to add customized 

applications. 

 

The source code and compile instructions can be found at: 

https://github.com/dragino/openwrt_lede-18.06

 

 

9.3

 

 Can I use 868Mhz version for 915Mhz bands? 

 

It is possible but the distance will be very short, you can select US915 frequency band in 868Mhz 

version hardware. It will work but you will see the performance is greatly decreased because the 

868Mhz version has an RF filter for band 863~870Mhz, all other frequencies will have high 

attenuation.
