RS485/Analog Datalogger (MacSync) LoRaWAN Network Health

Check MacSync datalogger LoRaWAN network health in the Maya app: run a network test and read uplink status, spreading factor, SNR and RSSI.

LoRaWAN Network Test​

How to check LoRaWAN Network Health in Macsync ? (Video Demo) :​


Step-by-Step Configuration Guide :​

ping

When you press Send Uplink, the device performs:

  • A server connectivity check
  • A basic RF analysis
  • Sends a confirmed uplink (expects acknowledgment from the server)

✅ Successful Uplink – Device received acknowledgment from the server
❌ Failed Uplink – No acknowledgment received

Spreading Factor (SF)​

Defines the trade-off between range and data rate.
Valid range: SF7 (short range, fast) to SF12 (long range, slow)

SNR – Signal-to-Noise Ratio​

Measures signal clarity.

  • Good: 0 to +10 dB
  • Acceptable: -10 to 0 dB
  • Poor: -20 to -10 dB

Note: Higher SNR = cleaner signal

RSSI – Received Signal Strength Indicator​

Measures signal power in dBm (always negative):

  • Excellent: -30 to -50 dBm
  • Good: -51 to -90 dBm
  • Weak: -91 to -120 dBm
  • Very Weak: < -120 dBm

Note: Closer to 0 = stronger signal
