4.4.2 Milesight D2D Settings
Milesight D2D protocol is developed by Milesight and used for setting up transmission among Milesight devices without gateway. When the Milesight D2D setting is enabled, WS303 can work as a Milesight D2D controller to send control commands to trigger Milesight D2D agent devices. 1. Configure RX2 datarate and RX2 frequency in LoRaWAN® settings, it is suggested to change the default value if there are many LoRaWAN® devices around. 2. Go to Device >Settings > D2D Settings to enable D2D function, and define a unique Milesight D2D key which is the same as Milesight D2D agent devices, then select the frequency and spreading factor. (Default Milesight D2D Key: 5572404C696E6B4C6F52613230313823)
3. Enable one of WS303 statuses and configure a 2-byte hexadecimal command (This command is pre-defined in Milesight D2D agent device). When WS303 detects this status, it will send the control command to the corresponding Milesight D2D agent devices.
Note: If you enabled LoRa Uplink feature, LoRaWAN® uplink that contains the Leakage status will be sent to the gateway after Milesight D2D control command is sent.
4.5 Maintenance
4.5.1 Upgrade
