Piconode configuration
Ideally, this step of the process should be carried out in the same location in which the node is going to be installed.
This way, you can perform an on-site radio coverage test.
The node configuration process is done using the Worldsensing DLog app, which is compatible with any Android
device equipped with OTG technology (Lollipop 5.1 sdk or higher is required). WorldSensing has tested Motorola
Moto G4 and G5 and guarantees that they are able to configure and test all nodes. Battery usage may be required
as Android devices may not be able to power some sensors.
DLog starts up once the device has been connected to the node using the USB-OTG cable. Manual startup is not
necessary.
The whole configuration process shouldn’t take more than five minutes and, from then, the node will start taking
readings and sending data to the gateway (once the gateway is already up and running).
Step 1: Connect DLog Android application
Download the app onto your Android device from the
Connect your device to the node using the USB-OTG cable (see the Accessories list). Make sure the battery or
batteries are correctly inserted. The app will automatically appear and display a message (Figure 7) requesting that
the date and time of the node be set (it will take them from the mobile phone or tablet in use, Figure 8),
afterwards, the node’s basic information will appear (Figure 9).
