S221: Activation mode
This range will allow you to configure the device’s activation mode:
• The “Over The Air Activation” (OTAA) mode uses a JOIN phase before it can transmit on the network. This mode uses the code APP_EUI
(S214 and S215) and the code APP_KEY (S216 to S219) during this phase in order to create the network communication keys. Once this
phase has finished, the APP_sKEY, NWK_sKEY and DEVICE ADDRESS codes will be present in the corresponding ranges. A new JOIN phase
will start each time the device exits command mode, is reset or is supplied with power.

APP_EUI
Global application identifier
APP_KEY
Device application key
• The “Activation By Personalization” (ABP) mode does not have a JOIN phase, but transmits directly on the network by directly using the
codes NWK_sKEY (S222 to S225), APP_sKEY (S226 to S229) and DEVICE ADDRESS (S281) in order to communicate.

S222 à S225: LORA NWK_sKEY
The ranges from S222 to S225 determine the NWK_sKEY used during network exchanges. The key is made up of 32 characters spread across
these 4 ranges, which can each contain 8 characters. The range S222 contains the first 8, the S223 range contains the next 8, the S224 regis-
ter contains the next 8 and the S225 range contains the last 8.
Example: 0018B244 41524632 0018B200 00000912
S216 = 0018B244
S217= 41524632
S218 = 0018B200
S219 = 00000912
S226 to S229: LORA APP_sKEY
The ranges from S226 to S229 determine the APP_sKEY used during network exchanges. The key is made up of 32 characters spread across
these 4 ranges, which can each contain 8 characters. The S226 range contains the first 8, the S227 range contains the next 8, the S228 range
contains the next 8 and the S229 range contains the next 8.
Example : 0018B244 41524632 0018B200 00000912
S216 = 0018B244
S217= 41524632
S218 = 0018B200
S219 = 00000912
S281: DEVICE ADDRESS
This range will allow you to determine the address of the device on the network when using the ABP mode. In the OTAA mode, this parame-
ter is automatically input during the JOIN phase.
