System Settings

The System Settings page allows you to configure essential system-level parameters of the Field Tester Pad. These settings ensure accurate timestamps for reports, proper GPS and map rendering, and stable wireless connectivity during field testing.

Figure 1: System Settings Overview

Set System Time

Accurate system time is essential for:

• Correct timestamps in test logs and reports
• Ordered packet analysis
• Synchronizing test data with the LoRaWAN Network Server (LNS)

NOTE

• If the Pad is connected to the Internet, time synchronization is handled automatically through NTP, and manual time adjustment will be disabled.
• If the test site does not have Internet access, you must manually set the Pad’s system time before performing any field tests.

Steps

1. On the Configuration page, tap the Settings icon at the top of the screen.

2. Tap Set System Time.

   Figure 1: Set Time Zone, Date, and Time

3. Configure the following:

   • Select your Time zone.

   • Set the Date and Time.

4. Tap Confirm to save the settings.

Manage Wi-Fi

The Wi-Fi settings allow the Field Tester Pad to connect to the Internet for:

• Download offline maps
• Sync time automatically

Steps

1. On the Configuration page, tap the Settings icon at the top of the screen.

2. Tap Manage Wi-Fi. The Pad will display a list of nearby access points.

Manage Cache

The Clear Cache function allows you to manage and remove stored data on the Field Tester Pad. Regularly clearing cache helps keep the device storage healthy and ensures optimal performance.

warning

Cache clearing is irreversible. Once deleted, the data cannot be recovered. Please proceed with caution.

Steps

1. On the Configuration page, tap the Settings icon at the top of the screen.

2. Tap Manage Cache.

   Figure 1: Clear Cache Overview

   You will see:

   • Disk usage: current used space and available space

   • Testing records saved: number of test entries stored

   • Map tiles saved: offline map tiles downloaded

   • Networks saved: remembered Wi-Fi networks

     NOTE

     Clearing the Networks saved cache will disconnect the current Wi-Fi connection.

3. Each entry has a trash icon, allowing you to delete that specific category.

4. To remove everything at once, tap Clear All Cache & Data.

Download Map

The Download Map feature allows the Field Tester Pad to store map tiles locally so maps can still be displayed even when the test site has no internet connection. This is optional, but recommended if you want test points to appear on the map in the Report when testing offline.

Connect to the Internet

Downloading maps requires an active internet connection. If the Pad is not connected, the system will prompt you to connect before you can continue.

1. On the Configuration page, tap the Settings icon at the top of the screen.

2. Tap Download Map.

3. If no offline maps are available, the system will display a prompt. Tap Download Now.
