Onboard Amazon IoT Core for LoRaWAN data plane API endpoints

Amazon IoT Core for LoRaWAN data plane endpoints consist of the following endpoints. You get these endpoints when adding your gateway to Amazon IoT Core for LoRaWAN. For more information, see Add a gateway to Amazon IoT Core for LoRaWAN.

  • LoRaWAN Network Server (LNS) endpoints

    The LNS endpoints are of the format account-specific-prefix.lns.lorawan.region.amazonaws.com. You can use this endpoint to establish a connection for exchanging LoRa uplink and downlink messages.

  • Configuration and Update Server (CUPS) endpoints

    The CUPS endpoints are of the format account-specific-prefix.cups.lorawan.region.amazonaws.com. You can use this endpoint for credentials management, remote configuration, and firmware update of gateways.

For more information, see Using CUPS and LNS protocols.

To find the Data Plane API endpoints for your Amazon Web Services account and Region, use the get-service-endpoint CLI command shown here, or the GetServiceEndpoint REST API. For more information, see Amazon IoT Core for LoRaWAN Data Plane API Endpoints.

You can connect your LoRaWAN gateway on premises to communicate with Amazon IoT Core for LoRaWAN endpoints. To establish this connection, first connect your on premises gateway to your Amazon Web Services account in your VPC by using a VPN connection. You can then communicate with the data plane interface endpoints in the Amazon IoT Core for LoRaWAN VPC that are powered by privatelink.

The following shows how to onboard these endpoints.
