1. The use of this guideline
This configure instruction is for Dragino NB-IoT models with -NB or -NS suffix, for example DDS75-NB. These models use the same NB-IoT Module BC660K-GL and has the same software structure. The have the same configure instruction to different IoT servers. Use can follow the instruction here to see how to configure to connect to those servers.
2. Attach Network
2.1 General Configure to attach network
To attache NB-IoT sensors to NB-IoT Network, You need to:
- Get a NB-IoT SIM card from Service Provider. (Not the same as the SIM card we use in mobile phone)
- Power Off End Node ( See below for the power off/on position)
- Insert the SIM card to Sensor. ( See below for direction)
- Power On End Node
- Configure APN in the sensor (AT+APN=<APN>), example AT+APN=iot.1nce.net
After doing above, the NB-IoT Sensors should be able to attach to NB-IoT network .
The -NB and -NS models support LTE Cat NB2, with below frequency band: multiple frequency bands of B1/B2/B3/B4/B5/B8/B12/B13/B14/B17/B18/B19/B20/B25/B28/B66/B70/B85 . Make sure you use a the NB-IoT SIM card.
SIM Provider | AT+APN= | NB-IoT Coverage | Comments |
1NCE | iot.1nce.net | Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Puerto Rico, Russia, Slovak , Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, USA, UK, US Virgin Islands | UK: Band20 |
China Mobile | No need configure | China Mainland, HongKong | |
China Telecom | ctnb | China Mainland |
SIM Provider | AT+QCGDEFCONT= | Command Explanation | Comments |
1NCE/NB card purchased by the customer | iot.1nce.net/xxx | This command sets the PSD connection settings for PDN connection on power-up. When the MT attaches to the NB-IoT network on power-on, a PDN connection setup is performed. Therefore, PDN connection settings are stored in NVRAM so that they can be used by the modem during the attachment. |
2.2 Speed Up Network Attach time
BC660K-GL supports multi bands B1/B2/B3/B4/B5/B8/B12/B13/B14/B17/B18/B19/B20/B25/B28/B66/B70/B85. It will search one by one and try to attach, this will take a lot of time and even cause attach fail and show Signal Strenght:99. User can lock the band to specify band for its operator to make this faster.
AT+QBAND? // Check what is the current used frequency band
AT+QBAND=1,4 // Set to use 1 frequency band. Band4
Europe General AT+QBAND=2,8,20 // Set to use 2 frequency bands. Band 8 and Band 20
Global General : AT+QBAND=10,8,20,28,2,4,12,13,66,85,5
Verizon AT+QBAND=1,13
AT&T AT+QBAND=3,12,4,2
Telstra AT+QBAND=1,28
Softband AT+QBAND=2,3,8
After connection is successful, user can use AT+QENG=0 to check which band is actually in used.
By default, device will search network for 5 minutes. User can set the time to 10 minutes by AT+CSQTIME=10 so it can search longer.
See bands used for different provider: NB-IoT Deployment , Bands, Operator list
3. Configure to connect to different servers
3.1 General UDP Connection
The NB-IoT Sensor can send packet to server use UDP protocol.
3.1.1 Simulate UDP Connection by PC tool
We can use PC tool to simulate UDP connection to make sure server works ok.

- AT+PWD=PWD // Set the password of MQTT
- AT+PUBTOPIC=NSE01_PUB // Set the sending topic of MQTT
- AT+SUBTOPIC=NSE01_SUB // Set the subscription topic of MQTT
Notice: MQTT protocol has a much higher power consumption compare with UDP/CoAP protocol. Please check the power analyze document and adjust the uplink period to a suitable interval.
3.3 ThingSpeak (via MQTT)
3.3.1 Get MQTT Credentials
ThingSpeak connection uses MQTT Connection. So we need to get MQTT Credentials first. You need to point MQTT Devices to ThingSpeak Channel as well.
3.3.2 Simulate with MQTT.fx
3.3.2.1 Establish MQTT Connection
After we got MQTT Credentials, we can first simulate with PC tool MQTT.fx tool to see if the Credentials and settings are fine.
- Broker Address: mqtt3.thingspeak.com
- Broker Port: 1883
- Client ID: <Your ThingSpeak MQTT ClientID>
- User Name: <Your ThingSpeak MQTT User Name>
- Password: <Your ThingSpeak MQTT Password>
3.3.2.2 Publish Data to ThingSpeak Channel
In MQTT.fx, we can publish below info:
- Topic: channels/YOUR_CHANNEL_ID/publish
- Payload: field1=63&field2=67&status=MQTTPUBLISH
Where 63 and 67 are the value to be published to field1 & field2.
Result:
3.3.3 Configure NB-IoT Sensor for connection
3.3.3.1 AT Commands:
In the NB-IoT, we can run below commands so to publish the channels like MQTT.fx

Enter edit mode and apply MQTT uplink JS code to this uplink converter.
- Downlink Converter
Go to the Integrations center -> Data converters page, and find that MQTT downlink converter that was newly created when the integration was created.
Enter edit mode and apply MQTT downlink JS code to this downlink converter.
3.11.2 Simulate with MQTT.fx
3.6.3 Configure -NB node
First you need to configure the certificate to the -NB node. Follow the instructions in this link to configure the certificate.
Screenshot of successful certificate configuration:
- Configuring the CA Certificate
- Configure client certificate
- Configure client private key
When the certificate is configured, burn the boot program, burn the working firmware, and then restart the device.
Then configure the -NB node to connect to the ThingsEye platform:
AT Commands
- AT+PRO=3,5 // Use MQTT Connection & Json Payload
- AT+SERVADDR=lns1.thingseye.io,8883
- AT+SUBTOPIC=8899 //Consistent with the Topic of MQTT integration created by ThingsEye
- AT+PUBTOPIC=8899 //Consistent with the Topic of MQTT integration created by ThingsEye
- AT+CLIENT=NULL
- AT+UNAME=NULL
- AT+PWD=NULL
- AT+TLSMOD=1,0
Test Uplink by click the button for 1~3 seconds, the MQTT integration in ThingsEye allows you to view the data upstream from the device:
Go to "Device" -> "Search Device", enter the IMEI of the device to find the device.
You can view the data that has just been uplink on the device:
4. MQTT/UDP/TCP downlink
4.1 MQTT (via MQTT.fx)
Configure MQTT connections properly and send downlink commands to configure nodes through the Publish function of MQTT.fx.
1. Configure node MQTT connection (via MQTT.fx):
AT command:
- AT+PRO=3,0 or 3,5 // hex format or json format
- AT+SUBTOPIC=User Defined
- AT+PUBTOPIC=User Defined
- AT+UNAME=<device name> or User Defined
- AT+PWD=<device name> or User Defined
- AT+SERVADDR=8.217.91.207,1883 // to set MQTT server address and port
Note: To uplink and downlink via MQTT.fx, we need set the publish topic and subscribe topic different, for example: AT+SUBTOPIC=SE01_SUB & AT+PUBTOPIC=SE01_PUB.
2. When the node uplink packets, we can observe the data in MQTT.fx.
3. The downlink command can be successfully sent only when the downlink port is open.
The downlink port is opened for about 3 seconds after uplink packets are sent.
Therefore, when we see the node uplink packets in the Subscribe window, we need to immediately switch to the publish window to publish the hex format command.
Note: Users can edit the hex command in advance. When the node uplink, directly click the publish button several times to increase the success rate of command configuration.
5. FAQ
5.1 What is the usage of Multi Sampling and One Uplink?
The NB series has the feature for Multi Sampling and one uplink. See one of them
User can use this feature for below purpose:
- Reduce power consumption. The NB-IoT transmit power is much more higher than the sensor sampling power. To save battery life, we can sampling often and send in one uplink.
- Give more sampling data points.
- Increase reliable in transmission. For example. If user set
- AT+TR=1800 // The unit is seconds, and the default is to record data once every 1800 seconds (30 minutes, the minimum can be set to 180 seconds)
- AT+NOUD=24 // The device uploads 24 sets of recorded data by default. Up to 32 sets of record data can be uploaded.
- AT+TDC=7200 // Uplink every 2 hours.
- this will mean each uplink will actually include the 6 uplink data (24 set data which cover 12 hours). So if device doesn't lost 6 continue data. There will not data lost.
5.2 Why the uplink JSON format is not standard?
The json format in uplink packet is not standard Json format. Below is the example. This is to make the payload as short as possible, due to NB-IoT transmit limition, a standard Json is not able to include 32 sets of sensors data with timestamp.
The firmware version released after 2024, Mar will use change back to use Json format. Detail please check changelog.
6. Trouble Shooting:
6.1 Checklist for debuging Network Connection issue. Signal Strenght:99 issue.
There are many different providers provide NB-IoT service in the world. They might use different band, different APN & different operator configuration. Which makes connection to NB-IoT network is complicate.
If end device successfully attached NB-IoT Network, User can normally see the signal strengh as below (between 0~31)
If fail to attach network, it will shows signal 99. as below:
When see this issue, below are the checklist:
- Does your SIM card support NB-IoT network? If SIM card doesn't not specify support NB-IoT clearly, normally it doesn't support. You need to confirm with your operator.
- Do you configure the correct APN? Check here for APN settings.
- Do you lock the frequency band? This is the most case we see. Explain and Instruction.
- Check if the device is attached to Carrier network but reject. (need to check with operator).
- Check if the antenna is connected firmly.
If you have check all above and still fail. please send console log files (as many as possible) to support@dragino.com so we can check.
6.2 Issue: "NBIOT did not respond"
This issue might due to initiate issue for NB-IoT module. In this case, please try:
1) Open Enclosure
2) Power off device by pull out the power on Jumper
3) Power on device by connect back the power jumper.
4) push reset button.
6.3 Issue: "Failed to readI MSI number"
Make sure that the SIM card is insert in correct direction and device is power off/on during insert. Here is reference link: Insert SIM Card.
6.4 Why sometime the AT Command is slow in reponse?
When the MCU is communicating with the NB-IoT module, the MCU response of AT Command will become slower, it might takes several seconds to response.
6.5 What is the Downlink Command by the NB device?
UDP:
Its downlink command is the same as the AT command, but brackets are required.
Example:
{AT+TDC=300}
MQTT:
Json:
The Json format in MQTT mode needs to be configured with all commands.
If you have configurations that need to be changed, please change them in the template below.
Template:
{
"AT+SERVADDR":"119.91.62.30,1882",
"AT+CLIENT":"JwcXKjQBNhQ2JykDDAA5Ahs",
"AT+UNAME":"usenamedragino",
"AT+PWD":"passworddragino",
"AT+PUBTOPIC":"123",
"AT+SUBTOPIC":"321",
"AT+TDC":"7200",
"AT+INTMOD":"0",
"AT+APN":"NULL",
"AT+5VT":"0",
"AT+PRO":"3,5",
"AT+TR":"900",
"AT+NOUD":"0",
"AT+CSQTIME":"5",
"AT+DNSTIMER":"0",
"AT+TLSMOD":"0,0",
"AT+MQOS":"0",
"AT+TEMPALARM1":"0",
"AT+TEMPALARM2":"10",
"AT+TEMPALARM3":"0"
}
Hex:
MQTT's hex format. Since many commands need to support strings, only a few commands are supported.
The supported commands are consistent with LoRaWAN's hex commands.
Please refer to the following link to obtain the hex format:
http://wiki.dragino.com/xwiki/bin/view/Main/End%20Device%20AT%20Commands%20and%20Downlink%20Command/
6.6 How to obtain device logs?
- AT Command: AT +GETLOG
This command can be used to query upstream logs of data packets.
6.7 How to find the AT Command Password if lost?
Why can't the password access AT command after upgrade(-NB)?
Because the new version of -NB firmware has updated the factory reset function, users can choose to restore all parameters to factory Settings, or keep the password to restore the rest of the parameters to factory Settings.
This update changes the password address of the firmware, so the password will be invalid after the customer upgrades from the old version of firmware (without FDR1 function) to the new version of firmware (with FDR1 function).
Two different restore factory Settings configurations.
AT command:
- AT+FDR // Reset Parameters to Factory Default.
- AT+FDR1 // Reset parameters to factory default values except for passwords.(new)
Version Confirmation
We are now dividing the old firmware(without FDR1 function) with the new firmware(with FDR1 function) by whether it contains FDR1 functionality. Please refer to the table:

UART connection and firmware update methods
Users can query passwords only using the UART interface via the STM32CubeProgrammer.
See UART Connection.
update firmware through UART TTL interface : Instruction.
query the password via STM32CubeProgrammer
Users can use the password address to query the password through STM32CubeProgrammer.
- The password address for old firmware(without FDR1 function) : 0x08019000
- The password address for new firmware(with FDR1 function) : 0x08025D00
Notice: The password can only be queried after the firmware is run once.
Procedure for querying the password(old firmware):
- After the firmware upgrade is complete, switch back to the FLASH and reset the node to run the firmware once.
- Then place the switch at the ISP and connect to the STM32CubeProgrammer (same as when burning the firmware).
- Click "Device memory", enter 0x08019000 in "Address", and click "Read"
- Find the 0x08019000 address field and then read the current password as shown in the screenshot below.
Procedure for querying the password(new firmware):
Refer to the old and new firmware division above, and run the firmware first after updating the firmware.
- After the firmware upgrade is complete, switch back to the FLASH and reset the node to run the new firmware once.
- Then place the switch at the ISP and connect to the STM32CubeProgrammer (same as when burning the firmware).
- Click "Device memory", enter 0x08025D00 in "Address", and click "Read"
- Find the 0x08025D00 address field and then read the current password as shown in the screenshot below.
Special case
If the user has never changed the password manually, the user cannot find the valid password through the above two password addresses. In this case, the valid password is still the original password on the node box label (AT+PIN).
