5 Getting started
5.1 Purpose
This chapter provides instructions on how to get started with CMi4130. After reading and carefully
following each step of this chapter, your meter connectivity module
should
be mounted and connected to
the LoRaWAN network.
5.2 Product specification
5.3 Mount and start-up the device
5.3.1 Mounting and connection
CMi4130 is mounted in the module slot of an Itron CF 51/55/ECHO II. Grab the device by the outer
edges, gently press it into position.
5.3.2 Connection of antenna
CMi4130 is available in two different versions, with internal antenna (CMi4130Int) and with external
antenna (CMi4130Ext). If using the external antenna version of the module, the antenna is connected
using an SMA connector.
If using an external antenna, make sure to mount it at least 0.5 meters away from the meter
in order not to cause interference.
5.3.3 Network preparation
In order for the module to connect to the LoRaWAN network, it needs to be added in the network server.
More specifically, the following device information needs to be registered: Device EUI, Application key
and Join EUI. (If using ABP mode, the following information should be registered instead: Application
Session key, Network Session key and Device address.)
Elvaco strongly recommends using Over-the-air activation (OTAA) to facilitate deployment
and minimize the risk of duplicated keys.
