Register on the network

Before you start using Loptimizer for LoRaWAN tests, register your Pocket Tester on your LoRaWAN network server and complete the join procedure. Follow these four steps in the Loptimizer app.

1

Request to join the network

Open Settings in the Loptimizer app and tap Request Join. Loptimizer must be registered on your LoRaWAN network server before you can run tests.

Register your device on your network server

Create a LoRaWAN Class A device on your network server using OTAA and LoRaWAN version 1.0.4. Copy the DevEUI, AppEUI and AppKey displayed in your app into the device registration. Use your own device credentials; the screenshot is an example. Once registration is complete, tap My Device is registered.

Wait for the network response

The LoRaWAN Join Status shows Waiting for answer while Loptimizer waits for the network response. Keep the Pocket Tester powered on and within gateway coverage. If it does not join, check the registered credentials and LoRaWAN region.
