Device Administration

This list contains devices that can join the LoRaWAN network using the over-the-air activation (OTAA). The active network nodes that either have already joined or have been activated-by-personalization (ABP) are listed on the Nodes page.

General

For each device, which may connect to your network, you can set:

  • DevEUI of the device
  • Region that determines the LoRaWAN regional parameters
  • Application identifier corresponding to one of the Applications configured.
  • Group denotes application-specific device group or behaviour.
  • Arguments, which is an opaque string with application-specific settings.
  • AppEUI and AppKey
  • FCnt Check to be used for this device
    • Strict 16-bit (default) or Strict 32-bit indicate a standard compliant counter.
    • Reset on zero behaves like a "less strict 16-bit", which allows personalised (ABP) devices to reset the counter. This weakens device security a bit as more reply attacks are possible.
    • Disabled disables the check for faulty devices. This destroys the device security.
  • TX Window to be used for downlinks to this device:
    • Auto to choose the earliest feasible option, either RX1 or RX2
    • RX1 to always use RX1
    • RX2 to always use RX2
  • Can Join? flag that allows you to prevent the device from joining.
  • Last Join is a timestamp of the last successful Join request.

The US 902-928MHz region allows a Private Hybrid mode introduced by Multitech. This is useful when you want to split the radio spectrum to 8 different sub-bands, but it requires custom device firmware.

To clone an existing device, simply save it under a different DevEUI.

Once the device joins the network, the Node field will contain a reference to the Nodes list.

ADR

Optionally, you can also define a set of ADR parameters. Once the device joins the network, the server will attempt to configure the device accordingly.

Status

You can set:

  • Request Status flag, which can be used to disable the status requests for simple devices that do not support it (by default true).
