2.2 End Device Personalization and Activation

To participate in a LoRaWAN network, each end-device has to be personalized and activated. After activation, the device address (DevAddr), an application identifier (AppEUI), a network session key (NwkSKey), and an application session key (AppSKey) is stored in the end-device. In a LoRaWAN network, the end-device personalization and activation can be achieved in two methods.
  • Over the Air Activation (OTAA)
  • Activation by Personalization (ABP)
