460 -ThingsBoard **Dashboards** provide a powerful way to visualize and monitor real-time and historical data from connected devices. They allow users to create interactive, customizable panels displaying telemetry data, device status, and other key metrics. With a variety of widgets, including charts, maps, and tables, dashboards help users gain insights, track trends, and manage IoT deployments efficiently.

554 -* **AT+PRO=3,3    **~/~/ Use MQTT to connect to ThingsBoard. Payload Type set to 3.

556 -* **AT+PUBTOPIC=<MQTT publish topic> Eg: TS01-NB**
557 -* **AT+CLIENT=null**
558 -* **AT+UNAME=<MQTT Username>**
559 -* **AT+PWD=<MQTT Password>**
560 -* **AT+SERVADDR=<Broker address, Port>**
561 -
562 -Test your uplink by pressing the ACT button for 1 second.
563 -
564 -
565 -
566 -The following image shows the uplink payload of a real Dragino device. The publish topic is '**TS01-NB' that contains fields in the payload, IMEI, IMSI, Model, temperature, etc**. Note that we have created a device named **TS01-NB** in the **Devices** section in advance.

372 +If the integration was performed without errors, after the transmission of the first telemetry, a new device with the name “S31B-NB” will appear in the Devices → All. Also, you can verify the input and output data, respectively, before and after conversion in Data converters → UDP Uplink Converter NB/CB → Events.
