== 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

TrackerD will wait for ACK for each uplink, If TrackerD doesn't get ACK from the IoT server, it will consider the message doesn't arrive server and store it. TrackerD keeps sending messages in normal periodically. Once TrackerD gets ACK from a server, it will consider the network is ok and start to send the not-arrive message.
