RAK10706 Signal Meter for LoRa Quick Start Guide

Prerequisites​

Before going through each and every step in the installation guide of the RAK10706 Signal Meter for LoRa, make sure to prepare the necessary items listed below:

Hardware Tools​

Software Tools​

Serial Terminal Application, for example Cool Term for configuration.
WisToolBox for configuration and firmware update.

NOTE
  • For LoRaWAN test mode, the device must be registered with an LNS and within range of a LoRaWAN gateway on the network you are attempting to join. Without coverage, the Signal Meter will not function.
  • For LoRa P2P test mode, it is mandatory that other LoRa P2P end nodes are available and configured with the same frequency, SF, CR, BW, and Preamble Length.

Difference Between the RAK10706 Signal Meter and the RAK10701 Field Tester​

One of the advantages of the RAK10706 Signal Meter is that there is no backend installations required on LoRaWAN servers (e.g., Helium, TTN, Chirpstack) in LinkCheck Packet mode. It works with any LoRaWAN server, such as AWS IoT Core or Actility.

The RAK10706 uses LinkCheckReq to gather information about the connection to the gateway(s). This helps monitor connectivity. With LinkCheck, the LoRaWAN server reports the number of gateways and the demodulation margin. The demodulation margin is calculated by the LoRaWAN server. It provides insights into the received signal quality. A higher margin indicates better signal quality.
Extract from the LoRaWAN 1.0.3 Specification:

Figure 11168: LinkCheck explanation

Typical Test Scenarios​

In all scenarios, tests can be performed in three ways:

  • Automatic sending in a specified interval: The interval can be set either through the built-in UI or with an AT command.
  • Forced sending: Push the button three (3) times trigger transmission of a single packet using the pre-defined settings.
  • Forced sending with DR sweep (only in LoRaWAN test modes): Push the button four (4) times to trigger transmission of multiple packets. The sending starts at the lowest possible data rate and increases each packet until the highest possible data rate is reached.

Outdoor Testing​

In this scenario, location tracking should be enabled to include the tester's location in the test results. The log files will contain the location of the tester at the time the test was performed. If no location is found, the location will be set to Lat 0, Long 0.

Indoor Testing​

In this scenario the location tracking should be disabled, as the GNSS chip cannot acquire a valid location inside buildings. The log files will not contain the location of the tester.

LinkCheck Testing​

If it is not possible to connect the backend server to the LoRaWAN server to process the received packet data, the LinkCheck method is used. It provides basic information about connection quality and indicates whether the tester is within the coverage range of gateways.

LoRa P2P Testing​

This is a very basic test that only shows whether the device is in range from another LoRa P2P device that is sending out packets. In this mode, the device is listening and displaying information if it has received a data packet. It will as well send out data packets in the send interval that is setup on the device.

Product Configuration​

RAK10706 Signal Meter Physical Interface​

The user interface of the RAK10706 Signal Meter for LoRa is via OLED display and one pushbutton at the side. There is also an external LoRA antenna port via RP-SMA connector and USB-C port for charging and configuration if connected to a PC.

Custom AT Commands​

The RAK10706 application includes multiple custom AT commands:

  • ATC+SENDINT to set the send interval time or heart beat time. The device will send a payload with this interval. The time is set in seconds, e.g. AT+SENDINT=600 sets the send interval to 600 seconds or 10 minutes.
  • ATC+MODE to set the test mode. 0 using LPWAN LinkCheck, 1 using LoRa P2P, 2 using FieldTester protocol, 3 using FieldTester PLUS protocol.
  • ATC+STATUS to get status information from the device.
  • ATC+PCKG to setup a custom payload that is used in the uplink packets (only Linkcheck test mode and LoRa P2P test mode).
  • ATC+LOGS to retrieve or erase saved log files from the SD card (if SD card is present). See AT commands for log files.
  • ATC+RTC to set or get time of RTC (if RTC module is present). Set format = [yyyy:mm:dd:hh:MM] (discard leading zeros)

Setup with AT Commands​

LoRa P2P Setup​

To use the device in LoRa P2P mode, it has to be set into this mode with:

AT+NWM=0

The device might reboot after this command, if it was not already in P2P mode.

Next, the LoRa P2P parameters need to be set up. In this example, the device is being set to the following:

Frequency916100000 Hz
Bandwidth125 kHz
Spreading Factor7
Coding Rate45387
Preamble Length8
TX power5 dBm
AT+PRECV=0
AT+P2P=916000000:7:0:1:8:5
ATC+MODE=2
NOTE

If the credentials were set already (they are saved in the flash of the device), the switch to P2P testing can as well be done with: ATC+MODE=2

The device might reboot after this command, if it was not already in LoRa P2P mode.

The command AT+PRECV=0 is required to stop the device from listening. While in RX mode, parameters cannot be changed.

To be able to receive packets from other devices, they have to be setup to exactly the same parameters.

LoRaWAN LinkCheck Setup​

To use the device in LoRaWAN mode, it has to be set into this mode with:

AT+NWM=1

The device might reboot after this command, if it was not already in LoRaWAN mode. Then the LoRaWAN parameters and credentials have to be setup. In this example, I am setting the device to AS923-3, OTAA join mode, unconfirmed packet mode, enable link check and then reset the device to perform a LoRaWAN JOIN sequence:

AT+BAND=10
AT+NJM=1
AT+CFM=0
AT+LINKCHECK=2
AT+DEVEUI=AC1F09FFFE000000
AT+APPEUI=AC1F09FFFE000000
AT+APPKEY=AC1F09FFFE000000AC1F09FFFE000000
ATC+MODE=0
ATZ
NOTE

  • If the credentials have already been set (they are saved in the device's flash), the switch to LinkCheck testing can also be performed with: ATC+MODE=0

    • The device might reboot after this command, if it was not already in LoRaWAN mode.

  • The device must be registered with a LoRaWAN server using these credentials, and a gateway within range must be connected to the server. Otherwise, the device cannot join the network, and no tests can be performed. If the device fails to join, an error will be displayed on the screen: LoRaWAN Join Failed

    • In this case, double check all settings on the device and LoRaWAN server, and check if a gateway is in range and connected to the LoRaWAN server.

LoRaWAN FieldTester & FieldTester Pro Setup​

NOTE

These test modes do not offer the complete functionality of the RAK10701-L and RAK10701-PLUS Field Testers.

To use the device in LoRaWAN mode, it has to be set into this mode with

AT+NWM=1

The device might reboot after this command, if it was not already in LoRaWAN mode. Then the LoRaWAN parameters and credentials have to be setup. In this example, I am setting the device to AS923-3, OTAA join mode, confirmed packet mode, disable link check and then reset the device to perform a LoRaWAN JOIN sequence:

AT+BAND=10
AT+NJM=1
AT+CFM=1
AT+LINKCHECK=0
AT+DEVEUI=AC1F09FFFE000000
AT+APPEUI=AC1F09FFFE000000
AT+APPKEY=AC1F09FFFE000000AC1F09FFFE000000
ATC+MODE=3
ATZ
NOTE

  • If the credentials have already been set (they are saved in the device's flash), the switch to FieldTester testing can also be performed with: ATC+MODE=3

    • The device might reboot after this command, if it was not already in LoRaWAN mode.

  • In FieldTester Mode a backend server has to be set up as integration in the LoRaWAN server. Without this backend server, the FieldTester Mode will not work.

  • The device has to be registered in a LoRaWAN server with these credentials and a gateway in range has to be connected to the LoRaWAN server. Otherwise, the device cannot join and there are no tests possible. If the device cannot join the network, it will show an error on the display: LoRaWAN Join Failed

    • In this case, double check all settings on the device and LoRaWAN server, and check if a gateway is in range and connected to the LoRaWAN server.

Usage​

The principle usage for all modes is similar. After selecting the mode and setting the correct parameters and credentials, the device will send uplink packets in the selected send interval.

Important

When using FieldTester mode, the device requires a valid location fix from its built-in GNSS module. Otherwise, it will not send any uplink packets.

LoRa P2P​

If the setup of all devices is the same and a packet is received, the display will show the received LoRa P2P packets:

  • P2P received packet number
  • Frequency, spreading factor and bandwidth
  • RSSI
  • SNR
Figure 11215: LoRa P2P RX
NOTE

An uplink can be manually triggered by pushing the button three times.

After a packet is sent, the display shown in Figure 49 will appear.:

Figure 11216: LoRa P2P RX

LoRaWAN LinkCheck​

After the device has joined the network, it will send confirmed packets with LinkCheck request enabled to the LoRaWAN server. The LoRaWAN server will answer to the LinkCheck request. The display will show the following:

  • Linkcheck result
  • Demodulation Margin from the LoRaWAN server
  • DR of the sent packet
  • Number of gateways
  • Number of sent and lost packets
  • RSSI and SNR of the received packet
Figure 11217: LoRaWAN LinkCheckAns

If the device is out of range of the gateways (after having previously joined), it will show an error message if the LoRaWAN server did respond to the LinkCheck request:

  • Linkcheck result
  • Number of sent and lost packets
  • Error value
  • DR of the sent packet
Figure 11218: LoRaWAN no LinkCheckAns
NOTE
  • An uplink can be manually triggered by pushing the button three times.
  • To check all possible data rates, multiple uplinks can be triggered by pressing the button four times. The packets will be sent starting with the lowest possible DR, and with each packet, the DR will increase until the highest possible rate is reached.

LoRaWAN FieldTester​

After the device has joined the network, it will send confirmed packets with location information to the LoRaWAN server. The LoRaWAN server will forward this information together with gateway information to the backend server. The backend server will create and send a downlink packet to the tester. The display will show the following:

  • RSSI and SNR level of the received downlink packet
  • Number of gateways that received the packet
  • Min and Max RSSI levels seen by the gateways
  • Min and Max calculated distance between the tester and the gateways
  • Number of sent packets and number of lost packets
Figure 11219: Fieldtester display

Before sending an uplink packet, the tester will try to acquire a location.

Figure 11220: Fieldtester location acquisition

If a location fix can be acquired, an uplink packet will be sent, followed by waiting for the downlink packet from the backend server. The display's headline will show an O to indicate that a location was acquired.

Figure 11221: Fieldtester location fix

If no location fix can be acquired, an error will be displayed and no packet will be sent. The display's headline will show an X to indicate that no location was acquired.

Figure 11222: Fieldtester location failure
NOTE
  • An uplink can be manually triggered by pushing the button three times.
  • To check all possible data rates, multiple uplinks can be triggered by pressing the button four times. The packets will be sent starting with the lowest possible DR, and with each packet, the DR will increase until the highest possible rate is reached.
Important
  • In FieldTester Mode a backend server must be set up as integration in the LoRaWAN server. Without this backend server, the FieldTester Mode will not work.
  • More information about available backend solutions can be found in the RAK10701 documentation

Log Files (If SD Card is Present)​

If an SD card is present, the results of the coverage tests are written in CSV format to the SD card. The files start from 0000-log.csv, and on each restart, a new file with an incrementing number is created.

AT commands for Log Files​

ATC+LOGS=? is used to retrieve the log files over the USB port. This makes it possible to read the log files without removing the SD card from the device.

ATC+LOGS=e is used to erase all log files from the SD card.
