1. Introduction

1.1 What is Outdoor & Indoor signal measuring  Solution?

To help customers identify optimal sensor placement locations, we have designed a one-click signal strength measurement solution. You only need an LA66 USB LoRaWAN Adapter and a Dragino account.

The outdoor signal measurement solution supports simultaneous testing with multiple gateways. It allows for both individual gateway signal map displays and combined overlays from multiple gateways.

For indoor signal measurement solution , due to the complex layout and numerous obstacles, the solution adopts manual coordinate marking instead of relying on unstable mobile device positioning.

Both dashboards support data export.

1.2 Features

• Extensive support
  • Only a LA66 USB LoRaWAN Adapter and one Dragino account are needed, the gateway and LNS can be freely matched.
  • High-accuracy sensors
  • Reliable data readings
• Real-Time measuring
  • Button to switch receiving data or stop
  • Continuous measuring 
• User-Friendly Interface
  • Intuitive dashboard design

1.3 Specifications

• Mobile Support: Dedicated mobile app for on-the-go monitoring
• Device Manual: LA66 USB LoRaWAN Adapter User Manual
• Dragino APP: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/qdiwkpcxc03qu2r2w0g46/AKqR2FByUdkoWZPZh-diYfQ?rlkey=t1a1kwlvr93c1459mz9jifers&st=kji4rdg0&dl=0

2. How to Build？

2.1 Network Structure

​

2.2 Get Account

To begin, contact your local representative to obtain a customer account or send mail to support@dragino.cc

2.3 Get Device And Configuration//Added detailed instructions for burning firmware (usually the default firmware that comes with the factory can be used)

1.Reach out to your local representative to acquire the necessary devices for your signal measuring solution. These devices include:

• End Nodes: LA66 USB LoRaWAN Adapter
• Gateway(If you want):For data transmission.

2.Burn bootloader & firmware for LA66 USB LoRaWAN Adapter

• Bootloader: We ship the LA66 USB LoRaWAN Adapter with a boot loader by default( More detail: https://wiki.dragino.com/xwiki/bin/view/Main/User%20Manual%20for%20LoRaWAN%20End%20Nodes/LA66%20USB%20LoRaWAN%20Adapter%20User%20Manual/#H1.10A0UpgradeFirmwareofLA66USBLoRaWANAdapter:~:

• Firmware: If your device didn't have bootloader or firmware, please burn the latest bootloader & firmware for it in the following way: https://wiki.dragino.com/xwiki/bin/view/Main/User%20Manual%20for%20LoRaWAN%20End%20Nodes/LA66%20USB%20LoRaWAN%20Adapter%20User%20Manual/#H1.10A0UpgradeFirmwareofLA66USBLoRaWANAdapter:

2.4 Register Devices on LNS

1.Have a check of package box to get DEVEUI/ APPEUI/ APPKEY(OTTAKEY)

2.Register on LNS and replace decoding——ChirpStack_map and TTN_map

• If you using other LNS, you can code yourself(The first nine bits of the uploaded data are the flag bit + position, and the rest are the title) or  send mail to support@dragino.cc)

2.5  LNS Connection Method

Choose LNS: After log in Dragino platform, click the button "Import-Dragino-map"and choose the LNS you using.

2.5.1 Example ofTTN

Find MQTT in the Other integrations option on the TTN platform
Enter the username in the MQTT Account option
Enter the password in the MQTT Password option
Enter the Public address in the MQTT Address option (do not add the port number)

2.5.2 Example of ChirpStack

MQTT Address: The MQTT server address or the cloud server address which you using.

Subscribe Topic: The default for Topic is:  application/chirpstack application id/device/+/event/up(Replace"chirpstack application id" with the one which is actually used)

SSL Certificates:  Copy the contents of the certificates and paste them into the linked file below, a total of three certificates are required(Integrated Certificate File demo Download: Demo.pem)

2.5.3 Check:Whether the device is connected to the platform through LNS

 Whether the device profile is Dragino_Mapper? Modifyit if not.

3. How To Use?//The image display problem has been fixed, and the hardware usage instructions have been put in the section header (plug and play, automatic judgment of indoor and outdoor)

3.1 Outdoor_Mapper dashboard

Outdoors_signal supports viewing both the signal coverage of a single gateway and the combined coverage of all gateways.

3.1.1 Create the gateway layer.

This solution is pre-configured. Under normal circumstances, when the device successfully uploads information through gateways, it will automatically generate the corresponding assets and put them in the Layer.

The layer will be named after the gateway's IMEI, and you can set a label. At the same time, there will be a dashboard that collects all gateway signals and displays them in an overlay named after the user's registered email address.(Such like :All_signal:$[customer_email])

3.1.2 Measuring

Insert the LA66 USB LoRaWAN Adapter into phone or tablet. Data will be uploaded every 7 seconds based on the tablet's location. Simply move the tablet to measure signal strength from different places.
