LoRaWAN®

LoRaWAN settings is used for configuring the transmission parameters in LoRaWAN® network.



Parameters Description
Status LoRaWAN® network status of this device.
Basic Settings
Device EUI Unique ID of the device which can be found on the device.
Note: please contact sales for device EUI list if you have many units.
App EUI The default App EUI (join EUI) is 24E124C0002A0001.
Join Type OTAA and ABP mode are available.
Note: it's necessary to select OTAA mode if connecting device to Milesight IoT Cloud.
Application Key Appkey for OTAA mode, default value: "Device EUI" + "Device EUI" (since Q4 of 2025). Example: 24e124123456789024e1241234567890
Note:
  • The default value of earlier devices is 5572404C696E6B4C6F52613230313823.
  • Please contact sales before purchase if you require random App Keys.
Device Address DevAddr for ABP mode, default is the 5th to 12th digits of SN.
Network Session Key Nwkskey for ABP mode, the default is 5572404C696E6B4C6F52613230313823.
Application Session Key Appskey for ABP mode, the default is 5572404C696E6B4C6F52613230313823.
RX2 Data Rate RX2 data rate to receive downlinks or send D2D command.
RX2 Frequency/MHz RX2 frequency to receive downlinks or send D2D command.
Advance Settings
Confirmed Mode

If the device does not receive ACK packet from network server, it will resend data once.
ADR Mode Enable or disable network server to adjust Spreading Factor, Bandwidth an Tx Power to optimize data rates, airtime and energy consumption in the network.
Rejoin Mode

Reporting interval≤35 mins: the device will send a specific number of LinkCheckReq MAC packets to the network server every reporting interval or every double reporting interval to validate connectivity; If there is no response, the device will re-join the network.

Reporting interval > 35 mins: the device will send a specific number of LinkCheckReq MAC packets to the network server every reporting interval to validate connectivity; If there is no response, the device will re-join the network.
Note:
  1. Only OTAA mode supports rejoin mode.
  2. The actual sending number is Set the number of packets sent +1.
Port The port used for sending and receiving data, default port is 85.
Spreading Factor If ADR mode is disabled, the device will send uplink data following this SF parameter. The higher the spreading factor, the longer the transmission distance, the slower the transmission speed and the more the consumption.
Tx Power Tx power (transmit power) refers to the strength of the outgoing signal transmitted by the device. This is defined by LoRa alliance.
LoRaWAN® Version V1.0.2 and V1.0.3 are available.
Region Frequency plan of this device.
Single-channel Mode When enabled, only one channel can be selected to send uplinks. Please enable this mode if you connect device to DS7610.
Channel Enable or disable the frequency to send uplinks. If frequency is one of CN470/AU915/US915, enter the index of the channel to enable in the input box, making them separated by commas.

Examples:

1, 40: Enabling Channel 1 and Channel 40

1-40: Enabling Channel 1 to Channel 40

1-40, 60: Enabling Channel 1 to Channel 40 and Channel 60

All: Enabling all channels

Null: Indicate that all channels are disabled

D2D Settings

Milesight D2D protocol is used for setting up transmission among Milesight LoRaWAN® devices without gateway. When the Milesight D2D setting is enabled, VS121 can work as a Milesight D2D controller for sending control commands to trigger D2D agent devices.

Step 1: Configure the RX2 datarate and RX2 frequency.
Note: It is suggested to change the default values if there are many LoRaWAN® devices around.


Step 2: Enable D2D feature and define an unique D2D key which is the same as Milesight D2D agent devices. (Default D2D key: 5572404C696E6B4C6F52613230313823)



Step 3: Scroll to control setting, then choose a condition.

Occupied:when total people counter value is non-zero in detection area.

Vacant: when total people counter value is 0 in detection area.



Step 4: Click the "+" to add control information.

Parameters Description
Control Unit Choose the region to associate.
Control Command Define a 2-byte hexadecimal control command (0x0000 to 0xffff). When the condition is meet, the device will send the control command to corresponding D2D agent devices.
Intelligent Delay Time (s) The device will send the control command only when the detected condition remains Vacant (number of people =0) during this delay time.
Step 5: After adding, click the Test button to send the command directly to D2D agent devices. This helps you verify whether the current configuration is correct.

Note: When this feature is enabled, the control command from this device will not send to LoRaWAN® gateway.
