  • Page 10: Sensor Configuration

    ELT Series Operating manual Sensor Configuration 4.1 Sensor Configuration All sensor settings can be configured via a smartphone application with NFC (Near Field Communication) or over the air via the network server and downlink data to the sensor. The sampling rate, spreading factor, encryption keys, port, and modes can be changed.
  • Page 11: Sensor Behavior

    Operating manual ELT Series Sensor Behavior 5.1 Sensor Startup When the sensor starts up it loads any configuration parameters written to the NFC chip. The sensor will then write all configuration parameters back to the NFC chip. When the configuration is done the sensor tries to join the network if OTAA (Over the Air Activation) is enabled.
