1) Please contact sales for device EUI list if there are many units. 2) Please contact sales if you need random App keys before purchase. 3) Select OTAA mode if you use Milesight IoT cloud to manage devices. 4) Only OTAA mode supports rejoin mode.
Note: For -868M model, default frequency is EU868; For -915M model, default frequency is AU915. 4.3 Interface Settings UC50x series support data collection by multiple interfaces including GPIOs, analog inputs and serial ports. Besides, it can also power the terminal devices by power output interfaces. Basic settings are as follows: Step 1: Go to “General->Basic”...
Interface 1/2 3V3 Enable 3.3V power output. After enabled, the power output will supply Output power continuously. Change the password for ToolBox APP or software to read/write this Change Password device. Step 2: Go to corresponding pages to change GPIO, analog input or serial port settings as following chapters.

Step 3: Select GPIO type according to your requirements. Digital Input: detect high or low status of devices; Digital Output: Send voltage signal to trigger devices; Counter: pulse counter. Digital Input: Step 4: Select initial status of digital input. If pull up is selected, falling edge will be triggered; If pull down is selected, rising edge will be triggered.
Pulse Counter: Step 4: Select initial status of digital input. If pull up is selected, falling edge will be triggered and increase 1; if pull down is selected, rising edge will be triggered and increase 1. Parameters Description Initial status of counter. Digital Input Pull Down: Increase 1 when detecting rising edge Pull Up/None: Increase 1 when detecting falling edge...
