5. HOW TO CONNECT
No installation of programs on PC or communication device is needed for sLory. Just
connect sLory to PC or Serial port of communication device and power to DC-Jack port.
Then, RDY LED will blink in the interval set to 0.1 seconds under the Setup Mode and to 0.5
seconds under the Operation Mode.
* See 4.2 in the manuals for the details of LED operation
6. HOW TO USE
Users should adjust setting of Serial (interface, communication speed, parity bits and flow
control) and LoRa (channel, Spreading Factor) for the communication between sLorys or
with other devices in LoryNet via AT command or LoryView.
The default Serial setting is as follows: Baud rate of 9600, Data Bit of 8 and Stop Bit of 1.
Here, Data Bit and Stop Bit are not subject to change.

6.2 Operation Mode Setting
There are two Modes for sLory: General Communication Mode and LoryNet Mode. General
Communication Mode is for the communication between PC and a device via sLory while
LoryNet Mode is used for the communication in a structure of LoryNet Packet.
<General Communication Mode>
Setup via command
Users can set AT Command via RS232 Port of a PC. To use Command, users need to set the Dip
Switch on the back of the product as shown below.
Set RS232 Port of a PC with a terminal program and open as shown below
Baud Rate: 9600
Data Bit: 8
Stop Bit: 1
Parity Bit: None
Switch on (Switch 1) to change to the Setup Mode
Change to the Setup Mode via AT Command and then, LED will blink fast during the process of
switching Mode
Switch off (Switch 1) to change it back to the Operation Mode after the completion of setup.

For example, in order to

Serial data will be transmitted to
LoRa after a specific length of
data as specified is received
The priority is given in order of Length, STX or ETX and Time in case of that sLory includes
features of Time, STX, ETX, and Length in the condition for Serial data reception.
For example, if 1237890 will firstly be recognized according to the condition of Length if
1237890456 is entered with less than the 1-second-interval and the condition is set as
follows: Length=7, STXL=3, ETXL=3, STX=31,32,33, ETX=34,35,36, Time=100. If 5671237456
is entered with less than the 1-second-interval, the number 567 will be ignored being
considered as not STX because it does not satisfy the condition of Length but the second
priority condition. In other words, only the number 7 will be recognized as a result of
recognition of 123 for STX and 456 for ETX.
Setup via utility (LoryView)
The utility provided along with uLory is available on http://www.sysbas.com where users can
download the datA from the library of the homepage for the customer convenience. Users
can use LoryView for communication, reset, initialization and firmware update, and find the
detailed instructions on the use in the LoryView manual.
<LoryNet Mode>
LoryNet is an IoT platform with virtual cable that enables smooth communication as if it
were reading and writing to file by connecting devices utilizing low power, mid-range
wireless and wired communication technologies to the internet.
As a collection of protocols, cables and equipment in the middle to deliver signals and data

sLory User Guide
between objects, the virtual cable makes it easier to connect devices in LoryNet to establish
a new and desired network by improving reception from the distant or complicated
connections.
Accordingly, under the LoryNet Mode, uLory reads and writes entries, which are addresses
of a table to exchange data between devices with each table serving as an agency
Users can refer to the LoryView Manuals for detailed instructions on LoryNet Mode.

7. Utilization
LoRa is low power, mid- and long-range communication utilizing LPWA(Low Power Wide
Area) communication technology. With slow speed but long range of transmission and
reception, it is widely used in the area of remote monitoring and control such as smart
street lighting, smart metering, smart farm, smart farming and smart factories.
As it boasts a communication range of the maximum of 20km in open terrain, it can be
used in a variety of applications through 1:1 and 1:N communications as shown below:
