LTC2 is power off when ship from factory. Put a Jumper on JP2 to power on the device. After power on, LTC2 will auto join to TTN network via the LoRaWAN coverage by DLOS8. After join success, LTC2 will start to update message to IoT server.
Unix Time Request: 1: Request server downlink Unix time, 0 : N/A. In this mode, LTC2 will set this bit to 1 • every 10 day to request a time SYNC. (AT+SYNCMOD to set this) •...
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.
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).
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. Each uplink message includes multiply data entries value. Each entry has the same payload format as normal uplink...
