‍

Step 3: Plug the base station into Power, whilst the button is pressed down.

Your factory reset procedure should be initiated, letting the base station commission itself.

Guidance for Offline Base Station Feature

‍

The INCYT offline BaseStation is an upgraded iteration of the standard INCYT BaseStation that includes an additional functionality enabling the device to capture and retain LoRa packets even when the BaseStation lacks a cellular connection.

‍

What does it offer?

‍

The Offline BaseStation configuration offers two operation modes: Normal Mode and Offline Mode.

‍

• Under Normal Mode, the INCYT 4G BaseStation functions normally when it is connected to a cellular network. In this mode, the BaseStation will receive and transmit LoRa packets to the incyt platform, as well as send all the unsent packets stored in the BaseStation's SD card to the platform.
• Under Offline Mode, the INCYT 4G BaseStation will automatically switch to this mode when it loses cellular connection. In this mode, the BaseStation will capture incoming LoRa packets and save them to the SD card. When the BaseStation detects a cellular connection, it will start sending the saved packets to the incyt platform.

‍

How to use it?

‍

1. To get started, simply scan the QR code on the Base Station using the INCYT platform.
‍

‍

‍

2. Next, select the "Offline Mode" configuration and give your Base Station a name that's easy for you to remember.

‍

‍

‍

‍

3. Finally, plug in the Base Station and it will start working right away!

‍

Expected Outcome:

‍

After conducting several experiments, it was discovered that the maximum number of packets that a BaseStation can hold under offline modes is approximately 27,000. Additionally, the Base Station takes an average of about 37 seconds to receive and store a LoRa packet into the SD card of the Base Station.
