  • Page 10: Configure Ldds20 To Connect To Lorawan Network

    To connect a LoRaWAN network, you need to input the OTAA keys in the LoRaWAN IoT server and power on the LDDS20. If there is coverage of the LoRaWAN network, it will automatically join the network via OTAA and start to send the sensor value.
  • Page 11 Step 1: Create a device in TTN with the OTAA keys from LDDS20. Each LDDS20 is shipped with a sticker with the default device keys, user can find this sticker in the box. it looks like below. For OTAA registration, we need to set APP EUI/ APP KEY/ DEV EUI. Some server might no need to set APP EUI.
