++= 2. Registering LDS25-LB/LS with a LoRaWAN Network Server =
--== 2.1 How it works ==
++**The LDS25-LB/LS can be registered with any LoRaWAN network server. In this documentation, we use The Things Stack as an example, but similar settings may apply to other LoRaWAN network servers.**
++
++== 2.1 How does the LDS25-LB/LS work? ==
++
++
  The LDS25-LB/LS is configured in LoRaWAN **Class A** mode by default. The device ships with unique registration information that can be used to configure it for OTAA (Over-The-Air Activation).
--To connect to a local LoRaWAN network, you must first register the device with the respective LoRaWAN network server using the registration information. We recommend using the **OTAA **activation method because it is more secure than the ABP method. After adding the registration information, press the **ACT **button to activate the LDS25-LB/LS. It will automatically join the network using OTAA and start sending sensor values. The default uplink interval is **20 **minutes.

--== 2.2 Quick guide to connect to LoRaWAN server (OTAA) ==
++The LDS25-LB/LS's registration information can be found inside the device package.

--Following is an example for how to join the [[TTN v3 LoRaWAN Network>>url:https://console.cloud.thethings.network/]]. Below is the network structure; we use the [[LPS8v2>>url:https://www.dragino.com/products/lora-lorawan-gateway/item/228-lps8v2.html]]  as a LoRaWAN gateway in this example.
--The LPS8v2 is already set to connected to [[TTN network >>url:https://console.cloud.thethings.network/]], so what we need to now is configure the TTN server.
++The registration information includes the following:
++* DevEUI
++* AppEUI
++* AppKey
++
++
++We recommend using the **OTAA **activation method because it is more secure than the ABP method. After adding the registration information, press the **ACT **button to activate the LDS25-LB/LS.

++
++== 2.2 Registering with The Things Stack ==
++
++
++In this section we will guide you through on how to register the LDS25-LB/LS with The Things Stack. If your area has **The Things Stack** community network coverage, you can use it without setting up your own network. If not, you can set up your own LoRaWAN network coverage by using our [[**LPS8N**>>url:https://www.dragino.com/products/lora-lorawan-gateway/item/200-lps8n.html]] LoRaWAN gateway.
++
++The typical end-to-end network setup with LDS25-LB/LS and LPS8v2 is shown below:
