632 +== 4.1 What is the usage of Multi Sampling and One Uplink? ==
633 +
634 +The NB series has the feature for Multi Sampling and one uplink. See one of them
635 +
636 +[[http:~~/~~/wiki.dragino.com/xwiki/bin/view/Main/User%20Manual%20for%20LoRaWAN%20End%20Nodes/SN50v3-NB_BN-IoT_Sensor_Node_User_Manual/#H2.5Multi-SamplingsandOneuplink>>http://wiki.dragino.com/xwiki/bin/view/Main/User%20Manual%20for%20LoRaWAN%20End%20Nodes/SN50v3-NB_BN-IoT_Sensor_Node_User_Manual/#H2.5Multi-SamplingsandOneuplink]]
637 +
638 +User can use this feature for below purpose:
639 +
640 +1. **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.
641 +1. Give more sampling data points.
642 +1. Increase reliable in transmission. For example. If user set
643 +1*. **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)
644 +1*. **AT+NOUD=24** ~/~/  The device uploads 24 sets of recorded data by default. Up to 32 sets of record data can be uploaded.
645 +1*. **AT+TDC=7200**  ~/~/ Uplink every 2 hours.
646 +1*. 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.

650 +== 5.1 Checklist for debuging Network Connection issue. Signal Strenght:99 issue. ==
651 +
652 +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.
653 +
654 +If end device successfully attached NB-IoT Network, User can normally see the signal strengh as below (between 0~~31)
655 +
656 +[[image:image-20240207002003-1.png]]
657 +
658 +
659 +If fail to attach network, it will shows signal 99. as below:

664 +(% class="lead" %)
665 +When see this issue, below are the checklist:
666 +
667 +* 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.
668 +* Do you configure the correct APN? [[Check here for APN settings>>http://wiki.dragino.com/xwiki/bin/view/Main/General%20Configure%20to%20Connect%20to%20IoT%20server%20for%20-NB%20%26%20-NS%20NB-IoT%20models/#H2.1GeneralConfiguretoattachnetwork]].
669 +* Do you lock the frequency band? This is the most case we see. [[Explain and Instruction>>http://wiki.dragino.com/xwiki/bin/view/Main/General%20Configure%20to%20Connect%20to%20IoT%20server%20for%20-NB%20%26%20-NS%20NB-IoT%20models/#H2.2SpeedUpNetworkAttachtime]].
670 +* Check if the device is attached to Carrier network but reject. (need to check with operator).
671 +* Check if the antenna is connected firmly.
672 +
673 +If you have check all above and still fail. please send console log files (as many as possible) to [[support@dragino.com>>mailto:support@dragino.com]] so we can check.
