690 == 7.1 How the gateway will consume data traffic ==
691
692
693 Below list the place where the data traffic will use.
694
695 * Valid uplink data to LoRaWAN server or IoT server. ( We can't reduce this as they are the data we want)
696 * Invalid uplink sensor data to LoRaWAN serevr. ( See Filter unwanted packets)
697 * LoRaWAN Status push or polling data to LoRaWAN server . ( We can reduce this part , see below for discussion)
698 * System Keep Alive data. ( To ensure the system is more robust, can be disabled)
699 * system Time synchronization Checking
700 * Auto update ( Software auto update, can be disabled)
701
702 === 7.1.1 Uploading backup files to reduced data consumption ===
703
704
705 Users can upload this backup file to reduce data consumption in **System~-~->Back Up/Restore Config**, Download link for backup file: **[[attach:Reduced_data_consumption.tar.gz||target="_blank"]]**
706
707 [[image:image-20240712093532-1.png]]
708
709
710 === 7.1.2 Auto update ===
711
712
713 Gateway will check for update every day for new configure or software. User can disable them by below method.
714
715
716 === 7.1.3 Filter unwanted packets ===
717
718
719 When gateway connect to LoRaWAN server via LoRaWAN protocol , Gateway will by default get every possible LoRaWAN packets and forward to LoRaWAN server. If there are sensors from others in the same area, such sensor data will also be forward to LoRaWAN server ( they will be ignore by the server). This also consume data.
