This configure instruction is for Dragino NB-IoT models with -CB or -CS suffix, for example DDS75-CB. These models use the same NB-IoT Module **[[BG95-M2>>https://www.dropbox.com/sh/3ilyaswz4odgaru/AADR86cAgL9UGlmLuEH-UZgla?st=x1ry6v5j&dl=0]]** 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.

To attache end nodes to NB-IoT or LTE-M Network, You need to:

21

22

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

23

1. Power Off End Node ( See below for the power off/on position)

24

1. Insert the SIM card to Sensor. ( See below for direction)

25

1. Power On End Node

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>), example AT+APN=iot.1nce.net

**BG95-M2** supports multi bands (% style="color:blue" %)**in NB-IoT and LTE-M. **(%%) 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**.

60

61

**Note:**Before using the NB module command, users need to power on the NB module. Run the AT+QSW command to turn on and off the NB module.Remember to shut down after using the NB module command, otherwise it will consume power.

Attache to 1NCE card for Australia use:

== 6.1 What is the usage of Multi Sampling and One Uplink? ==

938

939

940

The NB series has the feature for Multi Sampling and one uplink. See one of them

941

942

[[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]]

943

944

User can use this feature for below purpose:

945

946

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.

947

1. Give more sampling data points.

948

1. Increase reliable in transmission. For example. If user set

949

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)

950

1*. **AT+NOUD=24** ~/~/ The device uploads 24 sets of recorded data by default. Up to 32 sets of record data can be uploaded.

951

1*. **AT+TDC=7200** ~/~/ Uplink every 2 hours.

952

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.

953

954

== 6.2 Why the uplink JSON format is not standard? ==

955

956

957

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.

958

959

The firmware version released after 2024, Mar will use change back to use Json format. Detail please check changelog.

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.

970

971

If end device successfully attached NB-IoT Network, User can normally see the signal strengh as below (between 0~~31)

972

(% class="lead" %)

980

When see this issue, below are the checklist:

981

982

* 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.

983

* 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]].

984

* 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]].

985

* Check if the device is attached to Carrier network but reject. (need to check with operator).

986

* Check if the antenna is connected firmly.

987

988

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.

(% style="color:blue" %)**AT Command: **(% style="color:#037691" %)**AT+GPS **

1098

**Ex2: **AT+GPS=1 ~/~/ Turn on GPS

1100

1101

(% style="color:blue" %)**Downlink command:**(%%)** (% style="color:#037691" %)0x11(%%)**

1102

1103

Format: Command Code (0x11) followed by 1 byte.

1104

1105

Example: Downlink Payload: **11 01 **~/~/ AT+GPS=1

1106

1107

* **Set GNSS open time**

1108

1109

Extend the time to turn on GNSS. The automatic GPS location time is extended when the node is activated.

1110

1111

(% style="color:blue" %)**AT Command: **(% style="color:#037691" %)**AT+GNSST**

1112

1113

Example: AT+GNSST=30 ~/~/ Set the GPS positioning time to 30 seconds

1114

1115

(% style="color:blue" %)**Downlink command:**(%%)** (% style="color:#037691" %)0x10(%%)**

1116

1117

Format: Command Code (0x10) followed by 2 bytes.

1118

1119

Example: Downlink Payload: **10 00 1E **~/~/ AT+GNSST=30

1120

1121

* **Set GPS positioning interval**

1122

1123

Feature: Set GPS positioning interval (unit: hour).

1124

1125

When GPS is enabled, the node automatically locates and uplinks each time it passes **GTDC time** after activation.

1126

1127

(% style="color:blue" %)**AT Command: **(% style="color:#037691" %)**AT+GTDC**

1128

1129

Example: AT+GTDC=24 ~/~/ Set the GPS positioning interval to 24h.

1130

1131

(% style="color:blue" %)**Downlink command:**(%%)** (% style="color:#037691" %)0x12(%%)**

1132

1133

Format: Command Code (0x12) followed by 3 bytes.

1134

1135

Example: 24 hours: 24(D)=0x18(H)

1136

1137

Downlink Payload: **12 00 00 18 **~/~/ AT+GTDC=24

1138

1139

1140

=== 7.5.2 GPS workflow ===

1141

1142

1143

The whole working process after the GPS function is enabled((% style="color:#037691" %)**AT+GPS=1**(%%)) is as follows:

1144

1145

~1. When activate the node, the node will turn on the GNSS, if the GPS signal is good, the node will print and upload the position information with the first data packet immediately.

1146

1147

If the signal is not good, it may take the whole (% style="color:#037691" %)**GNSST**(%%) time but still can not search the latitude and longitude information, at this time the node uploads the latitude and longitude all to 0.

1148

1149

So if there is a failure of positioning, the user can extend the (% style="color:#037691" %)**GNSST**(%%) time appropriately.

1150

1151

2. Each TDC time node is not repositioned and the positioning interval is determined by the AT+GTDC time.

1152

1153

The latitude and longitude payload uplinked at each TDC time is the GPS positioning information from the previous (% style="color:#037691" %)**GTDC**(%%) time.

1154

1155

Only when the node is activated or every (% style="color:#037691" %)**GTDC**(%%) time is reached, the node turns on the GNSS and we can observe the GPS search information through the serial assistant or Bluetooth tool.

1156

1157

1158

=== 7.5.3 GPS debugging methods ===

1159

1160

1161

In summary, we can deduce the methods of debugging GPS:

1162

1163

* **Check whether the GPS function is enabled.**

1164
