== 2.1 How it works? ==

124

125

126

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 ==

131

132

133

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.

134

135

136

[[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:

141

142

143

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

User can push the **RED button** by more than 5 seconds to enter Alarm Mode.

397

398

399

Once enter Alarm mode, the **GREEN LED** will flash 3 times, the buzzer will alarm for 5 seconds, then TrackerD will immediately send a packet without location info and then send a data packet with GPS positioning information. After that, the device will send 60 packets at 1-minute intervals. The Alarm flag in the payload will be set for the next 60 packets unless exit alert mode.

400

401

402

Two ways to exit alarm mode:

403

404

* Server send a downlink command to exit.

405

* User fast press the RED button 10 times.

406

407

When exit alarm mode, **RED LED** will light up for 5 seconds, indicating that the alarm mode is exited. And the alert flag will be set to false.

GPS室外定位模式：设备默认模式，设备入网后会发送device当前模式下的信息，随后立即定位发送数据包（默认是3分钟定位，超过将发送无效数据），如果出现意外情况下，快速按键3下，将会发出报警消息（默认每分钟发送一次）。GPS还有一种logdata模式，在断网的情况下将数据存储下来，等到有网的时候，一次将数据以每10秒上报。

613

614

617

618

运动模式：设备入网后会发送device当前模式下的信息，随后发送GPS定位数据，设备判断是否在运动，没有运动传感器没有检测到动作，立即进入静止状态（默认20分钟），如果产生运动，将每5分钟发送一次数据，再第五分钟后检测设备有误运动，无将切换到静止状态，有立即发送数据。

646

647

648

If AT+FTIME=0. The GPS module will be always powered and positioning. This will highly increase the power consumption (up to 50mA). When AT+FTIME=0, it will improve fix accuracy and shorten the acquire time for next uplink.

* AT Command:

AT+FTIME=xx **~-~-> ** Set to use xx as max fix time.

668

669

670

A GPS packet with lower PDOP has higher accuracy. PDOP default value is 2.0
