o OTAA (Over The Air Activation) that requires the following keys to make the join: DEVEUI,

APPEUI and APPKEY for each device. (the most used)

o ABP (Activation by personalization) that requires the following keys to make the join: DEVEUI,

DEVADDR and NWKSKEY for each device

➢ Depending on your operator, some actions need to be done to activate the transfer of the data

through Abeeway servers. Please refer to your vendor for more information.

3.2 Fixation

For optimum radio performance the tracker has to be positioned vertically (as shown on the picture).
It can be fixed with a magnet, screws or a double-sided tape.
Note: the environment and orientation of the tracker can influence the radio performance. For optimum

results keep the zone around the antenna area clear from any conducting material or magnetic field.
