.handler.ApplicationManager

ApplicationManager manages application and device registrations on the Handler

To protect our quality of service, you can make up to 5000 calls to the ApplicationManager API per hour. Once you go over the rate limit, you will receive an error response.

SimulateUplink simulates an uplink message

Messages

.google.protobuf.Empty

A generic empty message that you can re-use to avoid defining duplicated empty messages in your APIs.

.handler.Application

The Application settings

Name Type Description
app_id string
converter string The converter is a JavaScript function that can be used to convert values in the object returned from the decoder. This can for example be useful to convert a voltage to a temperature. This function is used when the payload format is set to custom.
decoder string The decoder is a JavaScript function that decodes a byte array to an object. This function is used when the payload format is set to custom.
encoder string The encoder is a JavaScript function that encodes an object to a byte array. This function is used when the payload format is set to custom.
payload_format string The payload format indicates how payload is formatted.
register_on_join_access_key string The “register on join” access key should only be set if devices need to be registered on join
validator string The validator is a JavaScript function that checks the validity of the object returned by the decoder or converter. If validation fails, the message is dropped. This function is used when the payload format is set to custom.

fields string JSON-encoded object with fields to encode
payload bytes The binary payload to use
port uint32 The port number that should be passed to the payload function

.handler.DryDownlinkResult

DryDownlinkResult is the result from a downlink simulation

Name Type Description
logs repeated LogEntry Logs that have been generated while processing
payload bytes The payload that was encoded

.handler.DryUplinkMessage

DryUplinkMessage is a simulated message to test uplink processing

Name Type Description
app Application The Application containing the payload functions that should be executed
payload bytes The binary payload to use
port uint32 The port number that should be passed to the payload function

.handler.DryUplinkResult

DryUplinkResult is the result from an uplink simulation

Name Type Description
fields string The decoded fields
logs repeated LogEntry Logs that have been generated while processing
payload bytes The binary payload
valid bool Was validation of the message successful

.handler.LogEntry

Name Type Description
fields repeated string A list of JSON-encoded fields that were logged
function string The location where the log was created (what payload function)

.handler.SimulatedUplinkMessage

SimulatedUplinkMessage is a simulated uplink message

Name Type Description
app_id string
dev_id string
payload bytes The binary payload to use
port uint32 The port number

.lorawan.Device

Name Type Description
activation_constraints string The ActivationContstraints are used to allocate a device address for a device (comma-separated). There are different prefixes for otaa, abp, world, local, private, testing.
app_eui bytes The AppEUI is a unique, 8 byte identifier for the application a device belongs to.
app_id string The AppID is a unique identifier for the application a device belongs to. It can contain lowercase letters, numbers, - and _.
app_key bytes The AppKey is a 16 byte static key that is known by the device and the application. It is used for negotiating session keys (OTAA).
app_s_key bytes The AppSKey is a 16 byte session key that is known by the device and the application. It is used for payload encryption. This key is negotiated during the OTAA join procedure, or statically configured using ABP.
dev_addr bytes The DevAddr is a dynamic, 4 byte session address for the device.
dev_eui bytes The DevEUI is a unique, 8 byte identifier for the device.
dev_id string The DevID is a unique identifier for the device. It can contain lowercase letters, numbers, - and _.
disable_f_cnt_check bool The DisableFCntCheck option disables the frame counter check. Disabling this makes the device vulnerable to replay attacks, but makes ABP slightly easier.
f_cnt_down uint32 FCntDown is the downlink frame counter for a device session.
f_cnt_up uint32 FCntUp is the uplink frame counter for a device session.
last_seen int64 When the device was last seen (Unix nanoseconds)
nwk_s_key bytes The NwkSKey is a 16 byte session key that is known by the device and the network. It is used for routing and MAC related functionality. This key is negotiated during the OTAA join procedure, or statically configured using ABP.
uses32_bit_f_cnt bool The Uses32BitFCnt option indicates that the device keeps track of full 32 bit frame counters. As only the 16 lsb are actually transmitted, the 16 msb will have to be inferred.
