691 == 7.1 How the gateway will consume data traffic ==
692
693
694 Below list the place where the data traffic will use.
695
696 * Valid uplink data to LoRaWAN server or IoT server. ( We can't reduce this as they are the data we want)
697 * Invalid uplink sensor data to LoRaWAN serevr. ( See Filter unwanted packets)
698 * LoRaWAN Status push or polling data to LoRaWAN server . ( We can reduce this part , see below for discussion)
699 * System Keep Alive data. ( To ensure the system is more robust, can be disabled)
700 * system Time synchronization Checking
701 * Auto update ( Software auto update, can be disabled)
702
703 === 7.1.1 Uploading backup files to reduced data consumption ===
704
705
706 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"]]**
707

709
710
711 === 7.1.2 Auto update ===
712
713
714 Gateway will check for update every day for new configure or software. User can disable them by below method.
715
716
717 === 7.1.3 Filter unwanted packets ===
718
719
720 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.
