Connect your tester to The Things Network

1. Set the band on the tester

   On the tester, tap the gear icon for the settings, move to "Band" with the arrow and choose the band of your region, in Europe EU868. Confirm with "OK" twice.

2. Read the keys from the tester

   Every tester comes with its own Device EUI, Application EUI and Application Key. Open WisToolBox on your phone, connect to the tester over Bluetooth and open "Parameters" → "LoRaWAN keys, ID, EUI". Note the three values.

   You can also enter values of your own there and tap "Apply". The tester restarts with them.

3. Create an application

   Sign in to the console of The Things Network, choose your cluster (in Europe eu1) and open "Applications" → "Add application". The ID is up to you.

   

4. Register the tester

   In the application, open "Register end device" and choose "Enter end device specifics manually": the RAK10701-Plus is not in the device repository. Choose the frequency plan of your region, "LoRaWAN Specification 1.0.3" and "RP001 Regional Parameters 1.0.3 revision A".

   

   Enter the Application EUI from step 2 as JoinEUI and click "Confirm". Then enter the Device EUI as DevEUI and the Application Key as AppKey, give the tester an ID and click "Register end device".

   

5. Create an API key

   With this key the service sends the values back to the tester. Open "API keys" → "Add API key", choose "Grant individual rights" and tick only "write downlink application traffic".

   

   Copy the key now: The Things Network shows it only once.

   

6. Add the webhook

   First copy your webhook address: sign in here, open "Account" at the top and click "Copy" next to "Your webhook address".

   

   Open "Integrations" → "Webhooks" → "Add webhook" → "Custom webhook" and fill in:

   Webhook ID

   fieldtester

   Webhook format

   JSON

   Base URL

   Your webhook address

   Downlink API key

   the key from step 5

   

   Under "Enabled event types", tick "Uplink message" and "Downlink failed" and leave the paths empty. Then click "Add webhook".

   

   A payload formatter is not needed. If your application already has one, leave it: the service reads the raw bytes.

7. Switch the tester off and on

   In "Live data" of the tester you see an uplink on fPort 5 and the reply on fPort 10. After that every uplink on fPort 1 gets its values back on fPort 3, and the display shows all values. On your dashboard the tester appears with its model.
