Possibility to configure NetIDs for Basic Station filtering
Summary
Basic Station/LNS protocol defines a router_config message, and it contains a field called NetID. This field allows filtering the device addresses the gateway will forward to the stack. Hence, we are seeking support on the possibility to configure these NetIDs in the stack, which will be forwarded to the Basic Station gateways in the router_config message
A stack-wide setting with the possibility to override the list for every gateway would be nice.
Why do we need this?
To filter the device addresses that the Gateway will forward to the stack.
What is already there? What do you see now?
In LNS, right after the Web Socket connection has been established, The LNS shall respond to a version message with a router_config message to specify a channel plan for the Station and define some basic operation modes.
{
"msgtype" : "router_config"
"NetID" : [ INT, .. ]
"JoinEui" : [ [INT,INT], .. ] // ranges: beg,end inclusive
"region" : STRING // e.g. "EU863", "US902", ..
"hwspec" : STRING
"freq_range" : [ INT, INT ] // min, max (hz)
"DRs" : [ [INT,INT,INT], .. ] // sf,bw,dnonly
"sx1301_conf": [ SX1301CONF, .. ]
"nocca" : BOOL
"nodc" : BOOL
"nodwell" : BOOL
}
The fields NetID and JoinEui are used to filter LoRa frames received by the Station. NetID is a list of NetID values that are accepted. Any LoRa data frame carrying a NetID other than those listed will be dropped.

What is missing? What do you want to see?
Possibility to configure the NetID field of the router_conf message in the Lora Basic station gateways at the stack level.

Can you do this yourself and submit a Pull Request?
Nope. @KrishnaIyer
Just wondering if there are any updates on this? Is this feature likely to be implemented in TTS at all?
This would be important for us too. Are there any updates?
I've just asked a similar question on the Multitech forum:
