In this step, you going to experience with LoRaWAN® functionality of the EVB. To achieve this, you need to perform the following straightforward steps
-Connect to EVB using Tera Term
-Activate the lora service of the EVB as LoRaWAN® device
-Verify LoRaWAN® definitions of the EVB
-Sent Join request to LoRaWAN® network
-Send a LoRaWAN® message
In order to connect to EVB, please use the Tera Term application. The steps to connect to EVB using Tera Term are exactly the same as you did at the beginning of Step9 & Step11. Please refer to these steps and please ensure that :
-you performed Step9 (setup LoRaWAN® parameters on EVB) and Step10 (provision of EVB on TPC)
-LoRaWAN® antenna already connected to EVB as shown at Step1
-You have TPC coverage at your location
Issue lora command at terminal to display lora commands of the sample application.
Issue lora open at terminal to activate LoRAWAN stack of the EVB.
Issue lora parameter display command to ensure that LoRaWAN® definitions
Issue settings display command to ensure that LoRaWAN® definitions that you set at STEP9 are still valid.
Issue lora join command to send JOIN request to Actility TPC
Monitor the messages to seek for the confirmation of the JOIN request
Issue lora status
command at terminal to verify that EVB joined to Actility TPC network and view additional settings (Class, Region etc)
Please notice that the data package send using the default values which can be changed using lora parameter set command
-ADR enabled
-DUTY Cycle restrictions enabled
-Messages will sent without expecting confirmation
-Use public LoRaWAN® network
-Data sent to TX PORT of 100
Issue lora send 010203 command to send data package to TPC
Monitor the messages to seek for the confirmation of the send request
In this step, you use EVB as Class A LoRa device and send data to TPC.
