LoRa Data Logger

MAC Layer Configuration
Prior to connect the LoRa Node to a certain LoRaWAN Network Server, you can configure device MAC Layer
settings for how it connects to the network.
Device Class
: Specify the device class for the LoRaWAN node. The LoRa Data Logger supports two
types of device class. By default,
Class A
is selected.
Class A
: A is for
A
(ll) Battery powered device. Each device uplink to the gateway / network
server and is followed by two short downlink receive windows. At any time a LoRaWAN
node can broadcast a signal, after this uplink transmission (tx) the node will listen for a
response from gateway / network server.
Class C
: C is for
C
(ontinuous). Same as A, but Class C devices will listen continuously for
responses from the gateway / network server. Hence, these devices use more power and
are often mains power.
Report Data Interval
: Specify the time interval between two successive data uplinks. By default, 3600
seconds is configured. It means, the node will transmit the record data of connected
sensor/meters on every 3600 seconds time interval.
Get Data Interval
: Specify the time interval which the node will get the status of connected
sensor/meters on every designed time interval. By default, 300 seconds is configured.
Finally, click
Save
button to store the configuration in the device.
