Managing an Application Profile - LoRaWAN

Introduction

Application profiles allow customers to group several client devices under a specific profile. Customers can use the application profiles in their web applications to display data and connectivity information regarding a single or group of IoT devices registered under a specific application. Every client device can only be registered under a single application profile.

Creating an Application Profile

2. Fill Out the following information

  • Name: Provide a name
  • Application EUI: Select a unique 16-digit hex value key or click 'Auto' to generate one automatically.
  • Feature OTAA: Keep checked if you want all the devices under this application to use OTAA.
  • Active: Keep checked.

Streams for an Application Profile

Haxiot X-ON provides different methods of transporting data to web applications. Streams provide a way to view and connect to data from client devices deployed in the field. Clients can create different types of streams for their web applications.

Creating a Stream

Figure 12: Add Stream

  1. From the Application profile, select the Stream tab
  2. Select 'Add Stream'
  3. Fill out the appropriate information
    • Select appropriate Transport Provider 
    • For Transform provider, select 'Stream Transform'
    • For the Output Format field, select 'Default JSON Transformation'
    • Fill other fields appropriately.
  4. Select 'Save' to add a new stream profile

View Available Streams

Application profiles may have more than one stream available. To view a list of all available streams,

  1. From the Application profile page, select the 'Stream' tab towards the top
    • A list of available streams will be displayed
    • Note: Level 3 streams represent application-level streams. This means that when viewing a Lvl 3 stream, uplink and downlink packets will be viewable from these streams that have been registered

Editing Streams

Editing a stream can be done from the Stream's tab in the Application's Profile page.

Figure 14: Editing a stream from the Stream tab

  1. Select 'Edit' for the desired stream that will be edited
  2. Edit the desired parameters
    • Caution: Do not change the server and port parameters as these pertain to our server configuration
  3. Select 'Update' to submit changes to the stream profile

Deleting Streams

Removing stream can be done from the Stream's tab in the Application's Profile page.

  1. Select 'Delete' for the desired stream that is to be removed
  2. Confirm by selecting 'OK' on the confirmation box

View Built-In Stream

From the Application Profile page, you can view data for a client device that has been registered under a specified application straight from the X-ON.

Figure 16: View built-in stream from the Application Profile

  1. From the Application Profile page, select 'Stream'
    • Data viewed from this page is the same data viewable from an Application-level stream
