Version .1
1Glossary
Name Description
AB Activation By ersonalization
ABP activation forces to have the DevAddr and the security key for the
peripheral hard-coded in the product. This strategy may seem simpler
because the join procedure does not need to be known, but it has security
disadvantages.
ADR Adaptive Data Rate
A data rate and radio transmission power optimisation mechanism. It is used
to optimise battery consumption.
A N Access oint Name
The name of the access point the gateway uses to connect to the Internet via
a mobile connection.
AppEUI The EUI Application is a unique application identifier issued by the IEEE
organisation (EUI-64). It is only used in OTAA mode and is used to get the
server keys during the JOIN.
AppKEY The Application Key is product specific. It is only used in OTAA mode and is
used to get the server keys during the JOIN.
AppSKey The Application Session Key is product specific and is used for end to end
application data encryption. It is required in ABP mode and is calculated
automatically by the server during the JOIN in OTAA mode.
Data Rate The Data Rate is defined by a digit from to 5 and sets the modulation type,
the Spreading Factor and the bandwidth used.
DevEUI Device EUI
The unique identifier issued by the IEEE organisation (EUI-64).
Device
Address
32 bit device identifier that is used to uniquely identify the product on the
LoRaWAN server. It is required in ABP mode and is supplied automatically by
the server during the JOIN in OTAA mode.
Ftp File Transfer rotocol
Communication protocol used to exchange files over a TCP/IP network.
HTT HyperText Transfer rotocol
Client-server communication protocol developed for the Web.
I Internet rotocol
Message protocol in charge of addressing and sending TCP packets over the
network.
LoRa LoRa is radio modulation including the physical connection and the physical
layer in the OSI model
LoRaWAN LoRaWAN is a transmission protocol that uses LoRa modulation.
MD5 Message Digest 5
Cryptographic hash function used to obtain a file's digital imprint.

USER MANUAL - WebdynEasy LoRaWAN
Version .1
Modbus Modbus is a communication protocol routinely used by industry to dialogue
with industrial equipment over a network.
NT
Network Time rotocol
Protocol used to synchronise the local hub clock with a time reference via a
computer network.
NwkSKey The Network Session Key is product specific and is used for end to end
LoRaWAN network data encryption. It is required in ABP mode and is
calculated automatically by the server during the JOIN in OTAA mode.
OTAA Over The Air Activation
OTAA activation is the preferred and most secure method for connecting to
the LoRaWAN network. The product runs a join procedure with the network
during which a dynamic DevAddr is assigned and security keys are brokered
with the product.
DIN rail Standard 35 mm metal rail used in Europe in industrial control equipment in
racks
RTU RTU mode is an RS422/485 hard-wired bus for Modbus.
Spreading
Factor (SF)
The spreading factor is the length of the sent frames. The more the signal is
spread, the lower the speed. However it increases the product range.
TC Transmission Control rotocol
An Internet-based connection-oriented protocol that provides data packet
segmenting services that the IP protocol sends over the network. This
protocol provides a reliable data transfer service. See also IP.
TC /I Transmission Control rotocol/Internet rotocol
A set of network protocols that provide interconnection services between
computers of different hardware architectures and operating systems.
TCP/IP includes standards for communication between computers and
conventions for network interconnection and routing.
UD User Datagram rotocol
Non connection-oriented protocol of the TCP/IP model transport layer. This
protocol is very simple because is does not provide error checks (it is not
connection-oriented...).
XML Extensible Markup Language
Generic tagging computer metalanguage. The purpose of XML is to facilitate
the automated exchange of complex content between heterogeneous
information systems.
XSD XML Schema Definition
File used to validate XML tags and data in an XML file.

2.3.1 Safety instructions
It is imperative to follow all the safety instructions in this guide.
Failure to follow these instructions can damage equipment and endanger people.
Electric connection:
•All wiring work must be carried out by a specialised qualified electrician.
•Please follow all the safety instructions featured in the equipment
documentation.
The WebdynEasy product can be damaged by electrostatic discharges (ESD)
When the equipment is open, do not carry out any operations other than those
described in this manual. Avoid any contact with the components.
Class 3 equipment: the device operates on safety extra-low voltage (SELV) (5 V
maximum). The voltage reduction must be obtained using a safety transformer
providing safe galvanic isolation between primary and secondary.
Do not install the equipment near a heat source or at a height greater than 2m.
To clean the product, only use a slightly damp cloth to gently clean and wipe the
surfaces.
Never use aggressive chemical agents or solvents that could alter the plastic
material or corrode the metal parts.

3General presentation
The WebdynEasy LoRaWAN hub is part of a line of Webdyn hubs specific to wireless networks.
The hub’s main function is to be a LoRaWAN gateway to create a LoRaWAN network and
collect the data from the different LoRa sensors deployed nearby. The LoRaWAN gateway has
2 running modes:
•Packet Forwarder
•Packet Forwarder with embedded LoRaWAN server
The hub is also used to communicate with Modbus devices in IP or RTU mode.
Principle diagram for a complete LoRaWAN solution
3.1 The LoRaWAN protocol
LoRaWAN is a communication protocol that uses LoRa modulation. This communication
protocol uses several radio bands (ISM) that are available in the 868 MHz range in Europe
without a licence.
In a LoRaWAN network, the radio modules are not paired to a single base station. The data
they send is relayed by multiple base stations. Each one sends the information received from
a radio module to the management server via a gateway. The intelligence and complexity are

located on the server which manages data redundancy, integrity checks, receipt confirmation
and the adaptation of the sensor data rate and emission power.
3.2 The hu
The purpose of the hub is to collect LoRaWAN and/or Modbus data and regularly send it to a
remote server (IS) using Ethernet or 3G/4G.
