Methods for end-devices to join the Conduit LoRaWAN network

Order of network server join authentication

The first one to succeed will provide the appkey and configuration used for creating the session keys.

1. Network ID and Network Key are checked if the JoinEUI/AppEUI in the Join Request matches the NetworkID
2. If Join Server Location is set to Local Keys, or in mLinux whitelist is enabled
   • The whitelist is searched for the DevEUI and the AppKey and Class setting are used for the device
3. If Join Server Location is set to Cloud Key Store, or in mLinux whitelist is disabled and Lens settings are correct
   • The Join Request is sent to the Join Server to be authenticated, the Lens end-device configuration is returned to the Conduit including the Class setting.

LoRa Query Utility

The LoRa Query Utility provides an easy to use interface to the command port for most operations as an alternative to directly accessing the UDP command port.

lora-query
Version: 1.0.4

Usage: lora-query [-t timeout] [-s] [-n]
        Simple UDP client utility to pull info from LoRa Network server
        --timeout (t)     : UDP recv timeout, default: 100 (msecs)
        --stats (s)       : get LoRa Network server statistics
        --stats-reset (r) : reset LoRa Network server statistics
        --node-list (n)   : get Node List
        --command (x) : send command string to network server
                usage: --command   ...
                ex:    --command device list json
                ex:    -x help
        --json (j)        : data in json format
        --help (?)        : returns this message
        --version (v)     : print version

Examples

End-Device List

> lora-query -x devices

Add End-device
Add a node for ABP or MANUAL network joining

> lora-query -x device add '{"deveui":"00-80-00-00-00-00-e1-9c","class":"C"}'

> lora-query -x session add '{"deveui":"00-80-00-00-00-00-e1-9c","dev_addr":"00112233","appeui":"00-88-88-88-00-00-e1-9c","joineui":"00-99-99-99-00-00-e1-9c","net_id":"000017","app_senc_key":"531bd9c5ec5d8ba5ef3b262cebfb3e66","fnwk_sint_key":"531bd9c5ec5d8ba5ef3b262cebfb3e66"}'

Add a node for OTA join with unique APPKEY

AEP use LoRaWAN > Key Management page in GUI or this curl command, restart of network server is needed after adding

> curl 127.0.0.1/api/loraNetwork/whitelist/devices -X POST --data '{"deveui":"16ea76f6ab663d80","appeui":"0001020304050607","class":"C","appkey":"4c194e20d396b5f7d3e1551e4cd320de"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json"
> curl 127.0.0.1/api/command/save -X POST --data ""
> /etc/init.d/lora-network-server restart

mLinux

> vi /var/config/lora/lora-network-server.conf
...,
"whitelist": {
 "enabled": true,
 "devices": [
     {"deveui":"16ea76f6ab663d80","appeui":"0001020304050607","class":"C","appkey":"4c194e20d396b5f7d3e1551e4cd320de"}
  ]
},
...

Remove an end-device

> lora-query -x device delete 008000df30011a6c

Change node class

> curl 127.0.0.1/api/loraNetwork/whitelist/devices/0 -X PUT --data '{"class":"A"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json"

Command Interface

Connect using netcat

nc -u localhost 6677

or

echo "$x" > /dev/udp/localhost/6677

Where $x is the command to execute.
