TCR Users Manual 1.3

The following documentation relates to TCR devices with firmware V1.1.x only.


Device Setup

Default keys

TCR are shipped with a set of standard LoRaWAN™ keys.

  • DevEUI is the Hardware serial number printed on the device label and QR e.g. AABBCCDDEEFF0011
  • AppEUI is the same as the DevEUI e.g. AABBCCDDEEFF0011
  • AppKey is 2x the DevEUI lined up e.g. AABBCCDDEEFF0011AABBCCDDEEFF0011


Default keys represent a security risk and must not be used in productive environments!

Change LoRaWAN™ Keys

LoRaWAN™ keys can be changed by using the command line interface (CLI). (See below for CLI documentation)

Use the following commands to set keys

lora set appeui <YOUR_APPEUI>
lora set appkey <YOUR_APPKEY>

restart

Uplink interval can be set from 5 Minutes up to 1440 Minutes (= 1 Day) During this period left/right counting’s will be collected. After the period runs up a confirmed or unconfirmed LoRaWAN™ Uplink will start.

set interval <INTERVAL_IN_MINUTES>

Choose between unconfirmed or confirmed uplinks by passing a 0 or 1 to following command

lora set confirmed 1
Confirmed Uplinks Counters will be cleared when receiving the uplink ACK
Unconfirmed Uplinks Counters will be cleared when sending the uplink

Functionality

Device start-up sequence

After switching on the device, following sequence will start.

  1. Initialization of Radar Processor. LEDs are constantly on.

  2. Start Join-Procedure (only if LoRa Modem is enabled). LEDs are blinking slowly

  3. After receiving Join Accept, the device sends its configuration the on port 190

Detection mode

  1. LEDs are off and are quickly flashing if a vehicle gets detected.

  2. After Interval time is up, the device sends the application payload on port 14. This can be done in Confirmed or Unconfirmed Mode.

  3. If confirmed uplinks are enabled, LEDs are on until successful received a ACK. After receiving the ACK LTR and RTL counters will be reset.

If the device operated in Unconfirmed Mode counters will be immediately reset after sending w/o waiting for an ACK.

LoRaWAN™ Payload

After a successful join the a LoRaWAN™ network TCR devices send its configuration once. It’s good practice to store this information on the application server to have a inventory of devices.

Application payload is sent in regular intervals.

Detailed information can be found in the TCR2 Payload V2 Documentation

Command Line Interface (CLI)

TCR can be configured using an USB cable and a terminal emulation program such as RealTerm

RealTerm

Serial Port Settings

Use 19200 8N1 to communication with device. All commands must be terminated with \r\n (Carriage Return, Line Feed)
