If you are having difficulties with your configuration, look at these frequently asked
questions before contacting technical support.
How can I test my LoRaWAN network connection?
In the Setup LoRa window, there is a Test LoRa Server button. When you
click on that button, you should receive acknowledgment that the connection
is up and running.
The latency indicated by this function must not be higher
than 200 ms.
I would like to see how well LoRaWan wireless coverage works at my site. Is
there an easy way to perform tests?
You may test the wireless connection between your receiver and an
OCEASOFT LoRaWAN module as described in the module User Guide. For
more information, or to conduct a more complete site survey, please contact
your OCEASOFT representative.
I want to use my gateway with a cellular data connection. I think I have done
everything correctly, but the gateway does not seem to be able to obtain an IP
from the network.
Connect to the gateway interface with your login name and password, then
select
Cellular Wake up on call in the left-hand menu. Remove the Init
String “AT+WS46=28”.
I’d like to test LoRaWAN wireless coverage at my site. The receiver is in place,
but I don’t want to use it on the Internet yet, just LoRaWAN to check coverage.
Is that possible?
There is an auto-acknowledgment wireless testing feature in recent X2 data
logger firmware. If you want to test on-site coverage without an Internet
connection (that is, just the LoRaWAN part), you may configure the X2 data
logger as follows: select
Menu Advanced LoRaWAN Network
Customer. Select the region and enter this 8-digit number via the keypad:
“00000000”. On the LoRaWAN gateway, click on
LoRaWAN (Network
Settings), change the “Server Address” to 127.0.0.1, then click on
. You may then use the
Range test feature on the X2 data
logger to test LoRaWAN connectivity with your receiver.
