User's Guide

To create an owner that can use the DAS, first login to your LoRa Cloud™ account
(https://www.loracloud.com) and select the “LoRa Cloud™ Device and Application Services”. There is a
“Manage Owners” page accessible from the main DAS page. On the “Manage Owners” page you will create
an owner or owners and then set the currently active owner. The active owner is where you will define
tokens with the properties you need. A token can have at least one, up to all of the following permissions:
 Add/Delete Devices
 Deliver Uplinks
 Issue Device Requests
 List/Read Device State
 Add/Delete Tokens
 List Tokens
When you add a token, you select its permissions. Once set, the permissions of the token cannot be
changed but a token can be renamed or deleted at any time. You will use a defined token will be to access
the various commands available in the DAS API to add new devices and list current devices. You can even
list and add new tokens if the token you use has sufficient permission. One of the most important uses of
the token will be to transmit and receive data to and from the DAS. This token will be needed for the
provisioning on the Tago.io account interface.
Adding Devices
Devices are managed either through the DAS API or directly from the LoRa Cloud™ Device & Application
Services (DAS) web portal. The “Manage Devices” link is used to add devices for a specific owner
application. The only necessary information to add a device to the list of managed devices is the EUI; you
can add the EUIs of the two LR1110 Trackers at the same time or one at a time.
The LoRa Cloud™ Geolocation
The LoRa Basics™ Modem-E has built-in features for geolocation. This information can be sent to the LoRa
Cloud™ Geolocation API for estimating the location the device. When gateways receive a data packet
transmitted by LoRa Basics™ Modem-E devices, they also generate metadata such as received signal-
strength, signal-to-noise ratio and time of arrival. When this metadata from the gateways is assembled into
a suitable query, and transmitted via the LoRa Cloud™ Geolocation API, the service is able to calculate the
location of the device.
Types of Service
There are three localization technologies available: LoRa, Wi-Fi and GNSS. The LoRa method uses signal
strength, signal timing and other meta data from the device signals to calculate a location. Similarly, the Wi-
Fi method uses signal strength of Wi-Fi Access Points within range of the device to estimate the location of
the device. Finally, the LoRa Basics™ Modem-E has the ability to measure timing information from multiple
GNSS satellite sources to estimate the position based on those signals.
Subscription Level and Tokens
There are different levels of subscription for the LoRa Cloud™ Geolocation service depending on the
monthly traffic levels that will be utilized by a given application. Each account will have two default tokens,
primary and secondary. The combined traffic associated with both tokens will be accumulated. The
accumulated totals will count towards the monthly total. For the introductory free tier, up to 1000
