The gateway also configured to Subband 2 and cover eight channels in this subband. If the end node transfer data in Subband 2, it will reach to gateway and to the LoRaWAN server. If the end node transfer packets in other subbands, for example subband 1, the packet won't arrive both gateway or LoRaWAN server. 539 + 540 + 541 +In Dragino Sensors old version firmware (before early 2022), the subband is fixed the subband to 2 , but this cause a problem, the end node is hard to use in other subband and need program. So the new logic is as below: 542 + 543 +We have improved this, the end node will use frequency 1 from sub-band1, then frequency 1 from sub-band2, then frequency 1 from sub-band3, etc to process the OTAA join, In this case, In this case, the end node can support LoRaWAN servers with different subbands. To make sure the end node will only transmit the proper sub-band after OTAA Joined successfully, the end node will: 544 + 545 +* ((( 546 +Check what sub-band the LoRaWAN server ask from the OTAA Join Accept message and switch to that subband 547 +))) 548 +* ((( 549 +Use the Join successful sub-band if the server doesn't include subband info in the OTAA Join Accept message ( TTN v2 doesn't include) 550 +))) 551 + 552 +This change will make the activation time a littler longer but make sure the device can be used in any subband. 553 + 554 + 555 +Below is a photo to show why it takes longer time for OTAA Join. We can see in 72 channels mode, why it takes more time to join success. If users want to have faster OTAA Join success, he can change default CHE to the subband he use. 556 + 557 + 558 +[[image:image-20221215223215-1.png||height="584" width="1280"]] 559 + 473 473 (% class="wikigeneratedid" %) 474 474
