633
634
635 == 9.1  Introduction ==
636
637 ChirpStack has support for creating multicast-groups to which devices can be assigned. When enqueueing a downlink payload for a multicast-group, ChirpStack will analyze which gateways must be used for broadcasting to cover the complete multicast-group. This means that potentially, a single multicast downlink payload will be emitted multiple times.
638
639 Multicast can be used for the following device-classes:
640
641 * Class-B
642 * Class-C
643
644 == 9.2  Example to configure chirpstack Multicast ==
645
646
647 This section illustrates how to configure ChirpStack Multicast. Below is the network structure, we use our LPS8v2 as the LoRaWAN gateway and SN50v3-LB as the LoRaWAN end-node here.

995 If you are using US915 or AU915, you found the frequency points of different subband ranges in your uplink
996
997 Like that：Both 905.1Mhz and 902.3Mhz appear on uplink
998 But they belong to Subband1 and Subband2 of US915 respectively
999
1000 Cause: The server and the gateway use different frequency bands (the server uses Subband1, and the gateway uses Subband2)
1001
1002 In server side, it shows the frequency is 905.1Mhz, which is sub-band2. But the RSSI is very low, Because this is not a signal in 905.1Mhz, it is on 902.3Mhz, the signal is too strong and appear a noise in 905.1Mhz.
1003
1004 How to check the frequency band used by the server：
1005
1006 You can view the information sent by the server: ch_mask in Unconfirmdedatadown
1007
1008 [[image:image-20230821113255-1.png]]
1009
1010 According to lorawan's protocol, your first ch_mask is 7 for ChMaskCntl = 7 then 125 kHz channels are disabled. Simultaneously the channels 64 to 71 are set according to the ChMask bit mask.
1011
1012 [[image:image-20230821113539-2.png]]
1013
1014 In the second message, the channel 0~~7 is true, which means that your server is using subband2.

1021 == 13.3  ChirpStackv4 node device displays "UPLINK_F_CNT_RETRANSMISSION" ==

1026 The user can Disable frame-counter validation on the chirpstack node and this warning message will not appear in the logs.
1027
1028
1029 The packet is retransmitted because the node device has enabled the acknowledgment uplink packet mode and the node cannot receive the ACK acknowledgment packet delivered by the gateway.
