WisDM Applications (Built-in Network Server)

In WisDM, Applications and End Devices are key components of the Built-in Network Server architecture. Applications group devices and define how their data flows within the Built-in Network Server.

• End Devices – Physical devices (e.g., sensors) that send data packets via LoRaWAN®.
• Applications – Logical entities that define how device data is authenticated, parsed, and forwarded.

NOTE

• WisDM does not provide LoRaWAN Network Server or Application Server functionality. It serves as a remote management platform for the Built-in Network Server running on the central gateway within a location.
• Applications are created at the Location level, not on individual gateways. You can create an Application even if no gateways are currently assigned, which is useful for preparing the network while gateways are still in transit.
• Adding an Application is a synchronous operation. If a Central Gateway is already assigned to the location, it must be online to successfully add the Application.

Access Applications

Applications can be accessed from two places in WisDM.

Access Entry	Description
Location-level Applications	Go to Locations > Your Location > Applications to view and manage Applications under a specific Location.
Organization-level Applications list	Click Applications from the left navigation menu to view Applications across Locations in the current Organization.

Both entries show the same Location-level Applications. The Organization-level Applications list is only a consolidated view that helps you quickly find and manage Applications from different Locations.

Create an Application

Create an Application when you want to register End Devices and define how their data is processed or forwarded.

1. In Locations > Your location > Applications, click Add application.

Figure 1: Application overview

2. Configure the application details:

Figure 1: Configure application information

• Application name: A unique name for the application.

• Application description: (Optional) A description of the application.

• Application type

  • Unified application key: All devices will use the same application key.
  • Separate application keys: Each device or group of devices has a unique key.

• Application Key: Required for Unified Application Key setup.

• Payload format

  • None: No specific payload format.
  • CayenneLPP: Payload format based on the Cayenne Low Power Payload (LPP) standard.

• Only forward data object: If enabled, the gateway will only forward the raw data object to the server without processing or decoding it.

• Decode type: Select the encoding of the uplink payload as forwarded to integrations. Ensure this matches what your cloud parser expects.

  • Base 64
  • HEX string

• Report LoRa Radio Information: If enabled, the gateway will include LoRa signal data (RSSI, SNR, etc.) in the payload sent to the server. This may increase packet size.

• Enable HTTP/HTTPS Integration Parameters: When enabled, uplink data and event messages can be forwarded to external HTTP/HTTPS endpoints, enabling seamless integration with third-party platforms or custom applications for data processing, storage, and visualization.

  • Header name
  • Header value
  • Uplink data URL
  • Join notification URL
  • Ack notification URL
  • Device-status notification URL
  • Maximum number of concurrent connections
  • Maximum length of queue

• Save as template: Save this configuration as a reusable template.

3. Click Save application.
