Duplicated configuration in TTN Console and local_conf.json/global_conf.json?

When setting up a gateway with a LoRaGo PORT (ic880a equivalent) and a RasPi3, I realized that there are duplicated configurations both in TTN Console and in local_conf.json/global_conf_json files:

  • Router/Server address/port
  • GPS Coordinate
  • Band related setting

This does confuse me a bit. In fact it is quite easy to get it up and running by following their setup guide. But I am wondering why I need to make such configuration on both side of the system. What would happen if the configuration mismatch?
