6 Troubleshooting section

Question

Answer

Why does my screen blink The blinking screen represents LoRa traffic being sent or received by

periodically?

the device.

What version of LoRaWAN do All TEKTELIC Sensor products run LoRaWAN 1.0.2 the sensors implement?

The serial numbers on my case are different from the serial numbers on the circuit board. Did my order get mixed up?

All TEKTELIC products have multiple serial numbers so we can track the devices at each stage of production. It is normal that your sensor board and sensor assembly have different numbers.

Where can I find the commissioning values for my sensors? (DEVEUI, APPEUI and APPKEY)

We keep the commissioning values for each sensor secure on our own server. We send the commissioning values for each sensor sent with a shipment but if this was misplaced, please send the serial number the revision and the Tcode of the sensor and we can get the information for you.

Why is my sensor sending more

packets than the Network

Server

receives?

This occurs when the channel plan does not reflect the number of channels accepted by the gateway. By default, all sensors come up in 64 channel mode which results in lost packets if a gateway with less than 64 channels is used. If you have an 8-channel gateway for example, ensure this is configured in the device settings in the Network Server. In the TEKTELIC NS under the “advanced network settings” tab change the configuration of the “default channel mask” to reflect the number of channels used by the gateway used.
