Time Synchronization

This section describes how to sync the time of the device.

Sync via ToolBox App
After reading the device via Milesight ToolBox App, sync the device time with time zone from the smart phone.



Sync via Network Server
This requires to ensure the LoRaWAN® network server supports device time synchronization feature. Example: Milesight gateway embedded NS.
  1. Set the LoRaWAN® version of the device to V1.0.3.
  2. Connect the device to the network server. After joining the network, the device will send a DeviceTimeReq MAC command to enquire the time from network server.
Note:
  • This only supports to get the time but not time zone. The time zone can be configured by ToolBox App or downlink command.
  • The device will send the DeviceTimeReq command every 5 days since the last sync.
