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>>https://www.quectel.com/product/lpwa-bc660k-gl-nb2]]** 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.

20

21

22

To attache NB-IoT sensors to NB-IoT Network, You need to:

23

24

1. Get a NB-IoT SIM card from Service Provider. (Not the same as the SIM card we use in mobile phone)

25

1. Insert the SIM card to Sensor

26

1. [[Configure APN>>http://wiki.dragino.com/xwiki/bin/view/Main/How%20to%20configure%20APN%20in%20the%20node/]] in the sensor (AT+APN=<APN>)

(% style="color:blue" %)**Uplink Converter**

447

448

The purpose of the decoder function is to parse the incoming data and metadata to a format that ThingsBoard can consume. deviceName and deviceType are required, while attributes and telemetry are optional. Attributes and telemetry are flat key-value objects. Nested objects are not supported.

449

450

To create an uplink converter go to the (% style="color:blue" %)**Integrations center**(%%) -> (% style="color:blue" %)**Data converters**(%%) page and click (% style="color:blue" %)**“plus”** (%%)button. Name it (% style="color:blue" %)**“MQTT Uplink Converter”**(%%) and select type (% style="color:blue" %)"**Uplink"**(%%). Use debug mode for now.
