Xiaoling 2.1 11 \\**If user has checked below steps and still can't solve the problem, please send us (support @ dragino.com) the sceenshots for each step to check. They include:**
Xiaoling 1.1 12
13 * End node console to show the Join freuqency and DR. (If possible)
14 * Gateway (from gateway UI) traffic to show the packet got from end node and receive from Server. (If possible)
15 * Gateway traffic (from server UI) to shows the data exchange between gateway and server. (Normaly possible)
16 * End Node traffic (from server UI) to shows end node activity in server. (Normaly possible)
17 * End Node Keys screen shot shows in end node and server. so we can check if the keys are correct. (In most case, we found keys doesn't match, especially APP EUI)
18
Xiaoling 32.14 19 (% style="color:blue" %)**1. End Device Join Screen shot, we can check:**
20
Xiaoling 1.1 21 * If the device is sending join request to server?
22 * What frequency the device is sending?

Xiaoling 1.1 31
32 * If the gateway receive the Join request packet from sensor? (If this fail, check if the gateway and sensor works on the match frequency)
33 * If the gateway gets the Join Accept message from server and transmit it via LoRa?

Xiaoling 1.1 42
43 * If the Join Request packet arrive the gateway traffic in server? If not, check the internet connection and gateway LoRaWAN server settings.
44 * If the server send back a Join Accept for the Join Request? if not, check if the keys from the device match the keys you put in the server, or try to choose a different server route for this end device.
45 * If the Join Accept message are in correct frequency? If you set the server to use US915 band, and your end node and gateway is EU868, you will see the Join Accept message are in US915 band so no possible to Join success.

Xiaoling 1.1 93 In LoRaWAN protocol, the frequency bands US915, AU915, CN470 each includes at least 72 frequencies. Many gateways support only 8 or 16 frequencies, and server might support 8 frequency only. In this case, the OTAA join time and uplink schedule is long and unpredictable while the end node is hopping in 72 frequencies, because the end node will send data in many frequency that the gateway or server doesn,t support.

Xiaoling 1.1 141
Xiaoling 32.3 142
Xiaoling 1.1 143 In this case, we can check if the frequency band matches in End Node, Gateway and LoRaWAN server. A typical case is using US915 in ChirpStack server as below:
144
Xiaoling 37.2 145 * (% style="color:blue" %)**End node** (%%) ~-~-> Use Sub-band2 (Channel 8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15) for Dragino Sensor. ADR is also enable, this is the default settings for dragino sensors.
Xiaoling 1.1 146
Xiaoling 37.2 147 * (% style="color:blue" %)**Gateway** (%%) ~-~-> Use Sub-band2 (Channel 8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15) for Dragino Gateway. this is the default settings for dragino sensors.
148
149 * (% style="color:blue" %)**LoRaWAN server**  (%%) ~-~-> ChirpStack default installation and use Sub-band1, **enabled_uplink_channels=[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]** in the file chirpstack-network-server.toml.
150
Xiaoling 4.3 151 (((
Xiaoling 1.1 152 When Sensor power on, it will use sub-band2 to join the network, the frequency matches the settings in gateway so all Join Request will be passed to the server for Join. Server will ask the sensor to change to Sub-band1 in the Join Accept downlink message. Sensor will change to sub-band1 for data upload. This cause the sensor and gateway have different frequencies so user see lost of most data or even no data.
Xiaoling 4.3 153 )))
Xiaoling 1.1 154
Xiaoling 4.3 155
156 (((
Xiaoling 1.1 157 Use Subband2 as a default subband cause the sensor to have problem to work with the LoRaWAN server which use other subband, and use need to access to the end node to change the subband by console. that is not user frendily,. So since Dragino LoRaWAN Stack version DLS-005(release on end of 2020), we have changed the device to use All Subbands for OTAA join, for example, device will use the first frequency in Sub-Band1 as firt OTAA join packet, then use the first frequency in Sub-Band 2 , then first frequency in sub-band 3, and so on. LoRaWAN server will normally provide the required subband in the OTAA accept process, so end node will know what subband it use after join. If LoRaWAN server doesn't provide subband info in OTAA join, end node will use the subband which join success as the working subband. So the new method cause a longer OTAA Join time but will be compatible with all LoRaWAN server. And new method won't affect the normal uplink after Join Success.

Xiaoling 1.1 205 * This packet must match the frequency of the RX1 or RX2 window.
Xiaoling 37.2 206
Xiaoling 32.3 207 * This packet must match the DataRate of RX1(RX1DR) or RX2 (RX2DR). (% style="color:red" %)**This is the common fail point, because different lorawan server might use different RX2DR and they don't info End Node via ADR message so cause the mismatch. If this happen, user need to change the RX2DR to the right value in end node. In OTAA, LoRaWAN Server will send the RX2DR setting in Join Accept message so the end node will auto adjust. but ABP uplink doesn't support this auto change.**

Xiaoling 1.1 435
Xiaoling 32.9 436
Edwin Chen 35.1 437 **Why this happen:**
438
Edwin Chen 34.1 439 For US915, AU915 or AS923 frequencies.It is possible because: .
Xiaoling 1.1 440
Edwin Chen 33.1 441 When using the frequency mentioned above, the server sometimes adjusts the Data Rate (DR) of the node, because the end node has Adaptive Data Rate (ADR) Enabled.
Xiaoling 1.1 442
Edwin Chen 34.1 443 When the server adjusts end node data rate to 0, the maximum payload length is 11 bytes. The server sometimes sends an ADR packet to the end node, and the node will reply to the server after receiving the ADR packet, but the number of payload bytes exceeds the limit, so it will send a normal uplink packet, and following an additional 00 data packet to handle this MAC command response.
Xiaoling 1.1 444
Edwin Chen 33.1 445
Edwin Chen 35.1 446 **How to solve:**
447
448 Solution: Use the decoder to filter out this 0x00 packet.
449
Edwin Chen 34.1 450 Some node decoders may not have the filter function, or you need decoders of other servers and formats. Please send an email to [[support@dragino.com>>mailto:support@dragino.com]]

Xiaoling 29.4 515 )))
Bei Jinggeng 8.1 516

Edwin Chen 32.1 518 Class C only refers to status after OTAA Join successfully. The OTAA Join Process will use Class A mode.

520
Edwin Chen 37.1 521 = 13. Why it takes longer time for OTAA joined in US915/CN470/AU915 band? =
Edwin Chen 32.1 522
Edwin Chen 37.1 523
524 In US915, AU915 or CN470 frequency band, there are 8 subbands, totally 72 channels. and LoRaWAN server normally use only one sub-band, for example Subband 2 in TTN. 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.
525
526
527 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:
528
529 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:
530
531 * (((
532 Check what sub-band the LoRaWAN server ask from the OTAA Join Accept message and switch to that subband
533 )))
534 * (((
535 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)
536 )))
537
538 This change will make the activation time a littler longer but make sure the device can be used in any subband.
539
540
541 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.
