I. Introduction
SNT, for Sigfox Network Tester, is an SIGFOX demonstration transceivers provided
exclusively for technology evaluation and network coverage reference measurements.
Their primary functionality consists in periodic emission of SIGFOX radio messages meant
for reception at any SIGFOX Access Points. Each SNT bears a unique network identity,
printed on a package sticker and stored into its memory. With this ID, full retrieval of the
device activity is possible through the Backend interface.
II. Requirements
1. Radio considerations
SNT serve as reference device. It is equipped with a 12 wave antenna. For reference
performance level, classical radio precautions are to be observed during operation: antenna vicinity
(3λ=1m @ 1GHz) has to be clear of any metallic object, and antenna shall be kept in vertical position.
Note that SIGFOX Network optimal performance is obtained in stationary operation.
2. Hardware requirements
SNT can also be used controlled by computer. In this case, you need :
Micro USB cable
Software requirements (bellow)
3. Software requirements
SNT is controlled by AT commands (describe bellow) and works with Windows, Linux and Mac.
Just assure you to have :
FTDI drivers installed on your computer
Any soft to open serial port like Putty for windows, Screen or Cutecom on Linux
