How to register an Application on TTN console ?

Procedure to configure TTN network server for HummBox solution

Please note that the following data are necessary for the procedure :

• AppEUI  : To be found into your provision file
• AppKey  : To be found into your provision file

Application registration

1. Login to TTN console: https://console.thethingsnetwork.org with your credentials
2. Click on “Applications”
   
3. Click on “add application”
   
4. Fill in information and click Add application to create a new application

ApplicationID:                 Application ID (This id is used to create DL links)

Description:                    Application description

Application EUI:              Default. It should be left as default, and can be modified later in application setting

Handler registration:    Choose correct regional handler

5. Go to settings, and click on “EUIs” tab. Then remove the current EUI by clicking “remove”

 

6. Click on “add EUI” to add a new one

 

7. Type: AFBECD5647382910, and click “Add EUI” AppEUI  : AFBECD5647382910
   
8. Now the application has the correct AppEUI (Expected AppEUI).
   
   
9. Add Decoder, and Encoder for “Payload Formats” in order to decode and encode messages from Base64 <-> Hexa for ULs, and DLs. Click on “Payload Formats”

 

10. Paste correct snippets of code for each section, and click “save payload functions” to save them.

Decoder

/// function Decoder(bytes, port) {

  // Decode an uplink message from a buffer

  // (array) of bytes to an object of fields.

  var decoded = {};

  var msgLength = bytes.length;

  var rawMessage = '';

  for(var i = 0; i<msgLength; i++){

    rawMessage = rawMessage+ ("0" + bytes[i].toString(16)).slice(-2);

  }

  decoded.payload_hex = rawMessage;

  return decoded;

}

Encoder

function Encoder(object, port) {

  var msgLength = object.payload_hex.length; //16

  var payload_base64=[];

  for(var i =0; i< msgLength; i=i+2){

    var temp= object.payload_hex[i] + object.payload_hex[i+1];

    payload_base64.push(parseInt(temp, 16));

  }

  return payload_base64;

}

11. Add a new integration to send ULs to HummBackend. Click on “add integration”, and choose “HTTP Integration”.

ProcessID:         Process ID

Access Key:        Choose the default one

URL:                    https://backend.humm-box.com/lorattn?key=1aef640e33ec760b5032ed72dfb5c586

 

Leave Authorization, Custom Header Name, and Custom Header Value blank.

Click on Add integration to finish.

 Device registration

1. Click on “Devices”, and “register device” after.
   Fill device information and click “Register” to add new devices to the application
   DeviceID: Same as Device EUI but in lower case letter.
   Example: 0004a30b0021f932
   Device EUI:        0004A30B0021F932 (Example)
   App Key: AFBECD56473829100192837465FAEBDC (Mandatory)

2. Make sure Device setting is in OTA mode. This can be checked in Device Settings tab
   

3. After creating device successfully, it will be shown in the device list.
   
4. Press the button of the HummBox to get the get the uplink message

Downlink configuration

1. Choose a device from ‘Devices’

 

2. Use ‘DOWNLINK’ section to schedule a downlink

Scheduling: replace

FPort: 0

Check Confirmed

Payload: bytes

Put hexa DL message and click Send

 

3. Scheduled DL message will be sent back to device when the device sends an UL
4. The DL message can be observed and checked in ‘Data’
