== 2.1 How it works? ==

128

129

130

TrackerD is configured as LoRaWAN OTAA Class A GPS tracker by default. It has OTAA keys to join LoRaWAN network. To connect a LoRaWAN network, user need to input the OTAA keys in the LoRaWAN IoT server and push reset button of TrackerD (next to USB port). TrackerD will wake up and auto join the network via OTAA.

== 2.2 Quick guide to connect to LoRaWAN server ==

135

136

137

Here is an example for how to join the [[TTNv3 LoRaWAN Network>>url:https://eu1.cloud.thethings.network]]. Below is the network structure, we use LPS8N as LoRaWAN gateway in this example.

138

139

140

[[image:1664501652064-326.png]]

The LPS8N is already set to connect to [[TTN V3 network >>url:https://eu1.cloud.thethings.network/]]. What the rest need to is register this device in TTN V3:

145

146

147

(% style="color:blue" %)**Step 1**:(%%) Create a device in TTN V3 with the OTAA keys from TrackerD.

148

149

Each TrackerD is shipped with a sticker with the default device EUI as below:

150

151

152

[[image:1664501677253-891.png]]

153

154

155

Input these keys to their LoRaWAN Server portal. Below is TTN V3 screen shot:

181

182

183

(% style="color:blue" %)**Step 3:**(%%) TrackerD will auto join to the LoRaWAN network. After join success, TrackerD will start to upload message to IoT server.

== 2.3 Positioning Mode(SMOD) ==

188

189

190

Users can set TrackerD to different Positioning Mode for different applications. Below mod are supported.

191

192

* (% style="color:#037691" %)**GPS ONLY(Factory Settings): **(%%)only get and uplink GPS location info.

193

* (% style="color:#037691" %)**BLE ONLY: **(%%)Only obtain iBeacon info via BLE and uplink. Design for Indoor tracking.

194

* (% style="color:#037691" %)**GPS/BLE Hybrid: **(%%)Combination for Indoor and Outdoor tracking.Devices will try to search BLE iBeacon first. If device can't find the iBeacon, it will use GPS for positioning.
