LoRaWAN Configuration

By configuring the following LoRaWAN parameters, you can connect your devices to a LoRaWAN network and manage communication parameters. After configuring the settings, click Save to apply the changes and activate the configuration on your device.

LoRaWAN Configuration

In the LoRaWAN Configuration section, you can set various parameters required to connect your device to the LoRaWAN network.

• Device EUI - The unique identifier of the device. This cannot be modified.
• Region - The LoRaWAN frequency band used by the device.
• Join Mode - The mode used for device network joining. Select either OTAA or ABP depending on your device joining method.
  • Over-The-Air Activation (OTAA)
  • Activation By Personalization (ABP)
• Class - The type of LoRaWAN communication used by the device.
• Application EUI - The application identifier for the device. Ensure it matches the Application EUI configured in the LoRa network server.
• Application Key - The security key for device-server encryption and authentication. Ensure it matches the Application key in the LoRa network server.
• Confirm Mode - Message acknowledgment mode. When enabled, the network server will acknowledge the uplink data. If no acknowledgment is received, the device will resend the data. If disabled, the network server will not send an acknowledgment.
• ADR - When enabled, the network server dynamically adjusts the data rate (DR) and transmission power based on the gateway’s signal strength (SNR) and coverage. If disabled, the device can manually configure the data rate and power based on the following parameters:
  • DataRate: It can be configured when ADR is disabled. Lowering the data rate increases range but also adds communication time and power consumption. Choose based on the device-gateway distance and signal quality.
  • Tx Power Level: It can be configured when ADR is disabled. A smaller transmission power value represents higher power. 0 is the maximum allowed power, with each increment reducing power by approximately 2 dBm.

Data Collection Period

The Data Collection Period determines how often the device uploads data to the LoRaWAN network server.

• Period- Set up the data collection period (polling period) of the device.
  • Range: 60~86400 seconds

Check LoRaWAN Status

• LoRaWAN Status - Check the status of the device’s connection to the LoRaWAN network. After a successful network join, the activation switch will be turned on and cannot be configured.
