25 If the sensor is under the coverage of two LoRaWAN servers, and the user puts the OTAA Keys in both LoRaWAN servers. During OTAA activation, both servers will send Join Accept message to End Device. And End device will accept the first arrive one and join that server. The second arrival join accept will be ignored.
