4 -In LoRaWAN protocol, the gateway transmit packet use the output power base on the Power Index from LoRaWAN server downlink. for example: LoRaWAN server send downlink with this info "rf_power=14", gatewat got this info and it will search the index for rf_power=14 and use the related rf setting to set output power. In some case, the LoRaWAN server might set the rf-power to a quite low value ( for example 0dB) which is not practical for use. In such case, User can manunal change the rf_power=0's rf settings to a higher power out. Below are the methods.

11 -In LoRaWAN protocol, the gateway output power refer to the downstream packets sent by Gateway. This output power is controlled by LoRaWAN server.

36 -When LoRaWAN server sends a downlink stream, server will also ask the gateway to use which rf_power as output. So user don't need to consider to control in the gateway side.

38 -If user want to always use a higher power or a lower power. User can modify the pa_gain,mix_gain,dig_gain for specify rf_power to achieve this purpose. This is not recommended, because this might break the regulator for specific country.

40 -Please note, that the global_conf.json file will be overwritten by the match region files in /etc/lora/cfg-30x when changing settings in the web. So user needs to change the files in /etc/lora/cfg-cfg-30x instead of global_conf.json
