After starting the packet logger, each LoRa packet that is being received by the concentrator will
be record in a CSV file.
If the user wants to send out some demo data with another radio module some care must be
taken about the set up type of network. In case the user uses the Windows Software called
“WiMOD LR Studio”

, the setting called “lorawan_public” has to be set to false in order to
receive the datagrams of the transmitting WiMOD iM88xA radio module or the iU88xA USB-
Stick.
If the setting is “lorawan_public: true” than the peer has to send packets that are compliant to
public LoRaWAN networks. This can be archived by using the Software called “WiMOD
LoRaWAN EndNode Studio” in combination with a WiMOD module running a LoRaWAN
firmware.
The following screen shot shows an example of the TX and RX data send by the Software called
“WiMOD LR Studio”:

Note: The CSV file records all data as hexadecimal bytes with no respect to any fields defined in
the LoRa WAN specification. Therefore you have to look at the end of the payload within the
CSV file to see the payload data message itself.

The WiMOD LR Studio is intended to be used with a WiMOD Module running the WiMOD LR-Base firmware. The
other PC software is intended to be used in conjunction with a WiMOD Module running the WiMOD LoRaWAN
firmware.
