Registration in LoRaWAN
Over-The Air Activation (OTAA)
To join the LoRaWAN network, you need to go through the OTAA network connection process.
The device sends Join Request packet to the server and switches to waiting for Join Accept response from the server.
To successfully complete the network connection procedure, the device will attempt to send the Join Request packet three times:
The overall length of the attempts is 1–2 minutes:
- First attempt at
Spreading Factor– 10; - Second attempt at
Spreading Factor– 11; - Third attempt at
Spreading Factor– 12.
The first data packet is transmitted on that Spreading Factor at which the join to the network occurred.
n the future, Spreading Factor control process is carried out Adaptive Data Rate.
If for any reason you are unable to connect to the network, the device will only attempt to reconnect after 24 hours.
Retry OTAA procedure
Step by step, with tones, voice and a timer — Magnet gesture assistant.
To immediately retry the procedure for joining by sending a Join Request packet hold the magnet:
Impact on the Hall sensor 5 seconds --> No impact 10 seconds --> Impact on the Hall sensor 5 seconds
| Number of blinks | Glow duration | Functional response |
|---|---|---|
| Two blinks | 250 ms 600 ms 250 ms | Immediately repeat the procedure of joining the OTAA network |
The device will then flash a series of Green coloured LED blinks, send the Join Request and will switch to packet waiting Join Accept.
Receiving the Join Accept
The device's light indicator will respond to the receipt of the Join Accept packet with a series of flashes:
| Number of blinks | Glow duration | Functional response |
|---|---|---|
| Two blinks | 120 ms 120 ms 120 ms | Received Join Accept packet over LoRaWAN |
