Lobaro devices allow a wide range of configuration adjustments. This page describes the generally valid parameters that are used in the same way for Lobaro devices, although not all products have to support all parameters listed here. Device-specific parameters are explained in the respective documentation. All configuration parameters are stored non-volatile in the Lobaro devices.
How to configure
Any Lobaro device configuration can be set and read out either locally via a PC with the Lobaro configuration USB adapter and the Lobaro Maintenance Tool or remotely when using the Lobaro IoT platform and mobile radio (NB-IoT, LTE-M) or any LoRaWAN network server using downlinks on a special port. Network parameters, such as the APN of the mobile cellular network provider, must usually first be configured correctly locally. Alternatively, possible on request for larger orders, an intimate configuration agreed with the customer can also be installed by Lobaro ex works.
Network Parameters
WAN
Since Lobaro devices include a variety of different technologies for sending data, the "WAN" parameter is one of the most important to control the behaviour of the device. This parameter can be used to set whether NB-IoT, LTE-M or LoraWAN is to be used for data transmission. With LoRaWAN, the type of network join can also be defined (ABP vs. OTAA). Some devices even extend the possible values of the parameter, e.g. for an upload via LAN. In this case, details can be found in the device-specific documentation.
| Name | Description | Default Value | Value Description & Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
WAN | Technology used for connection and data uplinks to backend | lte |

device-specfic)Please note: With older firmware versions, only "lte" or "lorawan" could be configured via the above-mentioned WAN parameter.
The setting whether NB-IoT or LTE-M should be used was set here via the additional Boolean parameter (values either "true" or "false") "UseNbiot" or "UseLtem".
Similarly, the network behaviour when using LoRaWAN was configured via the parameter "OTAA" using true= use OTAA, false= use ABP.
