The field tester must be outside and has a clear view of the sky to get GPS coordinates. The GPS antenna
is located on top of the device beside the RP-SMA connector of the LoRa Antenna.
If you are indoors, there will be no reception of the GPS signal. The latitude and longitude data will be
empty.

LoRaWAN Network Servers Guide for RAK10701-P
Field Tester Pro
The field tester supports different network servers and can be used as well on others not listed in this guide as
long as the uplink and downlink packets are configured correctly.
You can check each guide on how to use the RAK10701-P Field Tester Pro for LoRaWAN in the following network
servers.
Helium
The Things Network
Chirpstack (with Datacake integration used as backend)
📝
NOTE:
This section will focus on the configuration of each network server. The procedure of Device Configuration
of RAK10701-P via WisToolBox is the same for all network server and will be covered in a separate
section of the guide.
RAK10701-P Field Tester Pro Guide for the Helium
Network
RAK10701-P can be manually registered to Helium Console . This is a public LoRaWAN network server that
you can use for your LoRaWAN end-devices powered by community-driven Helium Hotspots. This guide will show
every detail of how to prepare the Helium Console for your RAK10701-P Field Tester Pro.
📝
NOTE:
This guide is based on disk19 guide for the Field Tester configuration for the Helium Console.
1. You need to register an account and then purchase data credits (DC) to use the network. If you are a new user,
there are free data credits (DC) included in your new account to get you started quickly.

2. Once you are logged in, you can start adding your device. You have two ways to add a device as shown in the
image.
Documentation Center
Figure 10: Adding Device
3. The newly added device parameters will be shown. You have to put a device name and click save.
📝
NOTE:
The DEVEUI, APPEUI, and APPKEY are important in this step. These values must be configured on your
RAK10701-P device using WisToolBox which will be covered later in this guide.

4. The device will be added to the blockchain and it will show pending beside its name.
Documentation Center
Figure 12: Pending Device Status
5. While waiting for the device to be added to the blockchain, you can create a Label . This will allow you to
group your device to have a common setting. This will be needed to attach the needed integrations to the
backend server of dev.disk91.com . You have to click the folder with the + icon and add a Label name then
click Save Label . The newly created label should now be shown in the Devices console.

9. To connect the backend server, you have to create an Integration .
Figure 19: Add integration
Documentation Center
Figure 20: HTTP integration
10. Then you must proceed to steps 2 and 3 sections of the Integration settings. You have to select POST then
on the Endpoint URL, you must put https://dev.disk91.com/fieldtester/helium/v3 . It is also needed to
put the integration name before the clicking Add integration button.
