Set the right altitude value with LoRa Tool app:

{{ :wiki:manual_mcf-LW12TERPM:altitude.jpg?400 |}}

Value can be from -300 to 3000 meters.

Altitude can also be set with downlink command. 


====		3.4	Humidity ====





=====	4 LoRaWAN network =====

The sensor is compliant with LoRaWAN(r) **specification 1.0.2**, **regional 1.0.2b**.


{{ :wiki:manual_mcf-LW12CO2E:activation2_0.jpg?400 |}}

====	4.1 Activation ====
The device supports the following activations on a LoRaWAN(r) network:
  - **NONE**: sensor not activated
  - **OTAA**: the JoinEUI and the AppKey not setted, must be written to the device;
  - **OTAA MCF88**: Over the air activation, fixed keys: JoinEUI = 904e915000000001, AppKey on request;
  - **OTAA ENGINKO**: Over the air activation, fixed keys: JoinEUI = 904e915000000001, AppKey on request;
  - **ABP**: requires writing to the device of NwkSkey, AppSkey, DevAddr.

{{ :wiki:manual_mcf-lw12co2e:activation1_0.jpg?400 |}}

The device exits factory activated with **NONE** mode.
On request devices can be shipped aleady activated.

Note: in **OTAA** AppKey is write only, in reading the field will always be empty, even if set.

====	4.2 Other settings ====

**Network settings**:\\
please keep "Any" settings. Change it only if Objenious network is used (default_ any).

**Network type**:\\
LoRa syncword can be setted as "private"(0x12) instead "public" (0x34), but __the NS must be setted accordingly__ (default: public).

**Band**:\\
select the right LoRaWAN (r) band settings accodingly to country requirements.

{{ :wiki:manual_mcf-LW12CO2E:activation3_0.jpg?400 |}}

**DST**:\\
set to change DST (default: none).

**No time sync**:\\
set to disable time synchronization request (default: enabled).

-----
{{:warning.png?40|}}

Normally sensor asks for a time sync at every power on (uplink starting with 01) or, if enabled, once a week.

If not handled in the right way can cause a unnecessary battery consumption (battery life < 2 years).

Please check chapter 2.1 [[data_frame_format| DATA FRAME FORMAT]]
-----

**UnConfirmed**:\\
set for unconfirmed uplinks (default: confirmed uplink).

**Single join/day**:\\
set for to allow only one join per day (default: multiple join allowed).

{{ :wiki:manual_mcf-LW12TERWP:settings.jpg?400 |}}



===== 5 Passwords=====	
The device can be protected by passwords, to avoid unauthorized persons to read data or modify parameters.

As default passwords are equal to 0.

Allowed values range from 0 to 999999999 (only numbers).

To change the passwords, set the new values with the LoRa Tool App:


{{ :wiki:manual_mcf-LW12CO2E:password1_0.jpg?400 |}}

Once the passwords are setted, to gain access from LoRa Tool to the sensor, open the App:

{{ :wiki:manual_mcf-LW12CO2E:nfc_0.jpg?400 |}}


and set the right values before reading from the device:


{{ :wiki:manual_mcf-LW12CO2E:password2_0.jpg?400 |}}



To bring back the sensor to factory default and reset the passwords, a reset code must be requested to enginko (please provide the DevEUI of the sensor when you ask for that code).

===== 6 Configuration file =====	

WIth LoRa Tool App is possible to configure the device using an XML file, instead to manually adjust the parameters (for details about the file format please ask to enginko). This is very useful especially in 
case of multiple devices configuration.

With "Save" button an XML file with the actual configuration of the sensor will be generated. This is useful to store or clone the configuration, or to send it to enginko's support if needed.


{{ :wiki:manual_mcf-LW12CO2E:files_rev0.jpg?400 |}}

====6.1 Multi devices configuration ====	

WIth LoRa Tool App is possible to configure many devices in an easy way.

For multi-configuration is needed at least one XML file with the parameters to set.

Settings on this file will be applied to all the sensors.
 
With an additional XLS file is possible to load different LoRa configuration parameters (Activation Type, AppKey, AppEUI, NetKey, DevAddress, Band, Private option) for each sensor, based on DevEUI.
 
 
When the sensor is approached, if one parameter is different from files, the APP will ask you if you want to overwrite.
 
XLS is prevailing on the XML, so if both files are enabled, if the DevEUI of the device matches one of the DevEUIs in the XLS file, LoRa parameters will be setted from this one..

These configuration can be done in the in the Settings:
  * Enable or disable the use of the general configuration by file;
  * Enable or disable the use of the specific configuration by file;
  * Verify the passwords;
  * Writing the passwords.
