Assume the device is powered correctly. If you don't see data in Helium. The possibilities are:

)))

(((

1) You are out of Helium Gateway coverage. (If you have other end nodes, you can check whether they work and what is the signal strength you see in the platform)

)))

(((

2) Your end node frequency band doesn't match the Helium gateway frequency band. (Please double-check if frequency band matches)

)))

(((

3) You have input the wrong keys into Helium Platform ( You can send us the screenshots for the keys and Dragino support team can check for you)

=== 3.5.2 Packet Loss for AU915 / US915 Band ===

595

596

(((

597

The node working on the AU915/US915 frequency has packet loss or the frequency channel and the gateway channel are different.

)))

(((

The reason for this problem is that the node does not lock the channel after joining the network.

)))

(((

Solution:

)))

(((

(1) If the user does not have a device to upgrade the firmware, you can use the AT+CHE command or the downlink command to set the channel. It is best to turn off the adaptive rate (ADR).Reset the device after setting the channel.

)))

* (((

AT Command: AT+CHE

)))

* (((

Example:AT+CHE=1 ~/~/set channel mode to 1

)))

* (((

Downlink Command: 0x24

)))

(((

Format: Command Code (0x24) followed by 1 bytes channel value.

)))

(((

If the downlink payload=2401, it means set channel mode to 1, while type code is 24.

)))

* (((

Example 1: Downlink Payload: 2401 ~/~/ set channel mode to 1

)))

* (((

Example 2: Downlink Payload: 2405 ~/~/ set channel mode to 5

)))

(((

(2) If the user has a device to upgrade the firmware, it is better to upgrade the device to the latest version. The latest version has fixed the problem that the AU915/US915 frequency does not lock the channel.

)))

(((

The latest firmware for end node will have this bug fixed.
