  • Page 17: Datalog Feature

    2.5  Datalog Feature LTC2 will auto get the time from LoRaWAN server during Join, and each uplink will then include a timestamp. When user want to retrieve sensor value, user can send a poll command from the IoT platform to ask sensor to send value in the required time slot.
  • Page 18: Set Device Time

    Once LTC2 Joined LoRaWAN network, it will send the MAC command (DeviceTimeReq) and server will reply with (DeviceTimeAns) to send the current time to LTC2. If LTC2 fails to get the time from server, LTC2 will use the internal time and wait for next time request (AT+SYNCTDC to set time request period, default is 10 days).
  • Page 19: Datalog Uplink Payload

    Uplink Internal =10s,means LTC2 will send one packet every 10s. range 5~255s. 2.5.4  Datalog Uplink payload When server senser a datalog polling to LTC2, LTC2 will reply with one or more uplink messages as reply.
