LoRa Data Logger

Activation
: Specify the desired actication method for the LoRa node to connect to a network.
OTAA
(Over-the-Air Activation) and
ABP
(Activation by Personalization) are supported. By
default,
ABP
is selected.
OTAA
: OTAA is the preferred and most secure way to connect with network server.
Devices perform a join-procedure with the network server, during which a dynamic Device
Address is assigned and security keys (Network Session Key, APP Session Key) are
negotiated with the device.
ABP
: ABP is a simpler activation method with fixed device address and security keys. For
some device, it is manufactured with a hardcode Device Address as well as the security
keys in the device. This means it can’t worked with OTAA method. This strategy might
seem simpler, because you skip the join procedure.
DeviceEUI
: This is a unique and read-only ID (64-bit) for the LoRa node. It is hardcoded by the device
manufacture.
AppEUI
:
This is an application ID (64-bit) for the LoRa node. A network server can use this AppEUI
for specific application identification.
AppKey
:
This is an application Key (128-bit) for the LoRa node. A network server can use this
AppKey to generate required NwkSKey and AppSKey for further data transmission with
OTAA activation.
Device Address
: This is a 32-bit (8 Hex digits) Device Address. You can provide it for registering to a
network server with ABP activation.
NwkSKey
: This is a 128-bit (32 Hex digits) Network Session Key. You can provide it for registering to a
network server with ABP activation.
AppSKey
:
This is a 128-bit (32 Hex digits) Application Session Key. You can provide it for registering
to a network server with ABP activation.
Finally, click
Save
button to store the configuration in the device.
