      4.4  Add a LoRaWAN End Device This section shows how to add a LoRaWAN End device to a LoRaWAN network and see the data from TTN web site. We use LT-22222-L IO Controller as a reference device - the setup for other LoRaWAN devices will be similar. Step 1: Create a Device definition in TTN v3 with the OTAA keys from the example LT-22222-L IO Controller device.
  • Page 23 • DEV EUI - Unique ID code for a particular device. • APP EUI - ID code for an Application defined in TTN v3. • APP Key - Unique key to secure communications with a particular device.   A set of these codes are stored in each device by the manufacturer as the default codes for that particular device. Each device is shipped with a sticker with the default Device EUI as shown below.
  • Page 24 Select OTAA activation mode   The LoRaWAN version for your device should be provided by the manufacturer in a datasheet as LoRaWAN version or LoRaWAN specification. The most commonly used LoRaWAN versions are v1.0.2 and v1.0.3. First, input the End device ID, AppEUI and DevEUI.
  • Page 25 Secondly, choose the corresponding frequency and LoRaWAN class capabilities. Finally, Application layer settings input the corresponding AppKey. Before saving the configuration, check that the data matches the device.  ...
