14.3 PingSlotChannelReq

1. This command is sent by the server to the end-device to modify the frequency on which this
2. end-device expects the downlink pings.

1. The Frequency coding is identical to the NewChannelReq MAC command defined in the
2. Class A.
3. Frequency is a 24bits unsigned integer. The actual ping channel frequency in Hz is 100 x
4. frequ. This allows defining the ping channel anywhere between 100MHz to 1.67GHz by
5. 100Hz step. The end-device has to check that the frequency is actually allowed by its radio
6. hardware and return an error otherwise.
7. A value of 0 instructs the end-device to use the default frequency plan.

LoRaWAN Specification

1. DrRange is the data rate range allowed on this channel. This byte is split in two 4-bit
2. indexes.

5 Following the convention defined in the LoRaWAN Regional Parameters document

1. [PARAMS], the ―Min data rate‖ subfield designates the lowest data rate allowed on this
2. channel. For example 0 designates DR0 / 125 kHz in the EU physical layer. Similarly ―Max
3. data rate‖ designates the highest data rate. For example in the EU spec, DrRange = 0x77
4. means that only 50 kbps GFSK is allowed on a channel and DrRange = 0x50 means that
5. DR0 / 125 kHz to DR5 / 125 kHz are supported.
