life or permanent damage.

Bluetooth connection
The Core module implements Bluetooth Low Energy (Bluetooth 4.2 specification) with SUOTA
(Software Update Over The Air) feature. The only hardware requirement is a connection of 2,4GHz,
50 Ohm antenna to BLE antenna port.
5.3
Setup
Every Dev Kit and Core module comes with preprogrammed unique MAC address, AppEUI and
LoraWAN DevKey (also referred as AppKey by different sources). The DevKey is used to ensure a
secure communication and data encryption between the module and application server. AppEUI is
used to communicate with the application that registered on the Lora server. Care must be taken
with storing the DevKey in a safe place and ensuring it is not compromised.
The products will come with a QR code sticker, which gives the Serial Number of the device. By
typing in the S/N at the registration of the MatchX LPWAN Cloud, the preprogrammed APP EUI,
MAC address and DevKey will be associated automatically.
