    • NTP (UDP port 123)
    • IPsec (UDP ports 4500 and 500)

Set up the ThingPark Community Account

Create a ThingPark Community Account

  1. Go to community.thingpark.org and click Sign Up.

    Note

    There is a connection timeout of two minutes. This timeout is refreshed after each action a user initiates in the smartphone app.

The Settings page for your device is now displayed. If one of the next actions takes longer than expected, reconnect the LoRa Edge Config application to your device by repeating the steps in this section. If the device is not listed on the Scanner page, quit the LoRa Edge Config application and restart it.

Configure Your LR1110 Based Device

  5. Hold the magnet to the device, as you did previously. This will cause the device to reset. The red light begins flashing and since the device is no longer in airplane mode, the join process will begin. Wait for around 5 minutes to allow enough time for the process to complete.

Verify the Device Joined and Configuration is Working

Check to make sure that  the device has successfully joined the network using the Join Server by following these steps:

  1. Open the LoRa Cloud™ Portal and select the Join Server tile.
  2. Click DEVICES in the menu on the left.
  3. The device you have just reset will have a timestamp in the Last Join column.

    The timestamp in the Last Join column indicating this device is joined

    Note

    If there is no timestamp in the Last Join column, wait a few more minutes and then refresh the display. If the device still does not join, try the steps in the FAQ: My device is able to communicate with the LoRa Edge™ Config app, but is not joining the network.

Verify that device messages are being received by the network server by following these steps:

  1. Open the ThingPark Community Portal.
  2. At the main menu, under Devices, select List.
  3. The device you joined should have a timestamp in the Last Uplink column.

Verify that messages are being sent from the network server to TagoIO by following these steps:

  1. Go outside with the LR1110 based device, somewhere with clear line-of-sight to the sky.
  2. Wait a few minutes, to allow the device to get a GNSS location and send a message.
  3. Open TagoIO and log in to your TagoIO account.
  4. Select the dashboard for the device you created from the menu on the left.
  5. The TX UTC TIME widget should display a timestamp. This indicates the connection between ThingPark and TagoIO is working.

    If the device has managed to get a location, you will also see a location indicated on the map widget.

Product & Safety Instructions

Certain sensors contain magnets. Keep away from ALL children! Do not put in nose or mouth. Swallowed magnets can stick to intestines causing serious injury or death. Seek immediate medical attention if magnets are swallowed.

Observe the following precautions to avoid a sensor explosion or fire:

Do not drop, disassemble, open, crush, bend, deform, puncture, shred, microwave, incinerate, or paint the sensors, or other hardware.

Do not insert foreign objects into any opening on the sensors or gateways.

Do not use the hardware if it has been damaged—for example, if cracked, punctured, or harmed by water.

Disassembling or puncturing the battery (whether integrated or removable) can cause an explosion or fire.

Do not dry the sensors or battery with an external heat source such as a microwave oven or hair dryer.

These products are not toys and contain small parts that can be dangerous to children under three years old. Do not allow children or pets to play with products.

Observe proper precautions when handling batteries. Batteries may leak or explode if improperly handled.

Warnings

Do not place naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, on or near the equipment.

The battery should not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire, or the like.

Do not dismantle, open, or shred battery pack or cells.

Do not expose batteries to heat or fire. Avoid storage in direct sunlight.

Do not short-circuit the battery. Do not store batteries in a box or drawer where they may short-circuit each other or be short-circuited by other metal objects.

Do not remove a battery from its original packaging until required for use.

Do not subject batteries to mechanical shock.

In the event of a battery leaking, do not allow the liquid to come in contact with skin or eyes. If contact has been made, wash the affected area with copious amounts of water, and seek medical advice.

Do not use any charger other than that specifically provided for use with the equipment.

Observe the plus (+) and minus (-) marks on the battery and equipment, and ensure correct use.

Do not use any battery which is not designed for use with the product.

Do not mix cells of different manufacture, capacity, size, or type within a device.

Keep batteries out of the reach of children.

Seek medical advice immediately if a battery has been swallowed.

Always purchase the correct battery for the equipment.

Keep batteries clean and dry.

Wipe the battery terminals with a clean, dry cloth if they become dirty.

Rechargeable batteries need to be charged before use. Always use the correct charger, and refer to the manufacturer’s instructions or equipment manual for proper charging instructions.

Do not leave a rechargeable battery on prolonged charge when not in use.

Notices
