- | ====== End-device configuration ====== | ||
- | <note> | ||
- | The way to configure an end-device is unique to each kind of end-device. Therefore, this part of the wiki is generic. Refer to the datasheet of your end-device to configure it. | ||
- | </note> | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Configuration parameters ===== | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Pairing IDs ==== | ||
- | |||
- | To use an end-device with SPN, the end-device and the gateway need to be paired. To achieve this, two mechanisms are available: ABP or OTAA. | ||
- | Each mechanism uses specific parameters. They need to be the same in both the end-device and the gateway. | ||
- | |||
- | === If the end-device uses OTAA (Over The Air Activation) === | ||
- | * Device EUI (''dev_eui'') | ||
- | * Application EUI (''app_eui'') | ||
- | * Application key (''app_key'') | ||
- | |||
- | === If the end-device uses ABP (Activation By Personalisation) === | ||
- | * Device Address (''dev_addr'') | ||
- | * Network Session Key (''nwk_skey'') | ||
- | * Application Session Key (''app_skey'') | ||
- | |||
- | ==== TX Frequencies and response window frequency ==== | ||
- | |||
- | End-devices send packets to the gateway using different frequencies. These frequencies must be configured and need to respect the regional parameters of the LoRaWAN specification. | ||
- | |||
- | To receive packets from the gateway, the end-devices open two receive windows after sending a packet. The first window uses the same frequency and radio settings as the one used to send the packet. The second window uses static parameters which need to be defined. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== End-device's specific parameters ==== | ||
- | |||
- | Most of the end-devices contain more than these parameters, however they are specific to each type of end-device. Here are a few examples of parameters: | ||
- | * Region of the end-device | ||
- | * LoRa device class | ||
- | * TX power | ||
- | * Datarate | ||
- | * Receive and join accept delay | ||
- | * … | ||
- | |||
- | These parameters can or cannot be mandatory. Refer to the constructor datasheet for proper tuning. | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Join procedure ===== | ||
- | |||
- | When using OTAA mechanism, to pair a end-device with the station, a “join” request needs to be initiated by the end-device. Depending on the used end-device, it can either be done automatically or manually. Check whether you need to trigger it yourself or not. |
