10 == 1.1 What is Outdoor & Indoor signal measuring Solution? ==
11
12 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**.
13
14 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.
15
16 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.
17
18 Both dashboards support data export.

117 = 3. How To Use? =
118
119 == 3.1 Outdoor_Mapper dashboard ==
120
121 Outdoors_signal supports viewing both the signal coverage of a single gateway and the combined coverage of all gateways.
122
123 It is recommended that you watch the video together with this instruction to facilitate your actual operation.[[Outdoor_Mapper>>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqQnJOzQrww]]
124
125 === 3.1.1 Create the gateway layer. ===
126
127 **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.**
128
129 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])
130
131
132 === 3.1.2 Measuring ===
133
134 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.
135
136 [[image:1749627561494-416.jpg||height="397" width="529"]]
137
138 When the gateway received the first set of data, the current gateway will appear in the left-side list of the gateway interface. When received the second set of data, the current signal strength will be displayed on the right-side map.
139
140 The measured data will be displayed in translucent dots of different colors, green represents a good signal, and red represents a poor signal.
141
142 [[image:1749625787210-582.png||height="427" width="201"]][[image:1749625298987-778.png||height="430" width="236"]][[image:ac1f2e26c27e195b664bd040f8b30c0.png||height="412" width="451"]]
143
144
145 === 3.1.3 End measurement ===
146
147 Don’t forget to unplug LA66 USB LoRaWAN Adapter after finishing the measurement.
148
149
150 == 3.2 Indoors_Mapper dashboard ==
151
152 Indoors_signal supports measuring and marking the signal strength of all locations on the indoor floor plan.
153
154 It is recommended that you watch the video together with this instruction to facilitate your actual operation.[[Indoors_Mapper>>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvvBWzfzZLE]]
155
156 [[image:1749629774540-895.png||height="112" width="808"]]
157
158
159 === 3.2.1 Import the map ===
160
161 Drag the map image here and click √ to import.**(Only supports SVG format)**
162
163 [[image:1749376507835-691.png||height="393" width="702"]]
164
165
166 You can place the LA66 device in each room and click on the location on the image to create a new marker to view the signal strength at each location.
167
168 **Note: After you mark the first location, when you need to go to the second location, create a new mark first, and then go to the second location.**
169
170 Because LA66 will update to the latest point every time it sends.
171 If you go to point No. 2 first, and then create mark No. 2, the information of mark No. 1 will be updated to the signal information of the current location.
172

174
175
176 === 3.2.2 Delete point ===
177
178 Click the marking points, then click yes.
179
180 [[image:1749631544564-554.png||height="334" width="483"]]
181
182
183 === 3.2.3 End measurement ===
184
185 Don’t forget to unplug LA66 USB LoRaWAN Adapter after finishing the measurement.
186
187
188 == 4. Use of Tablet ==
189
190 For added convenience, you can use a tablet to access the platform.
