When an Activation By Personalization (ABP) end-device has connected to the TCL, there 189
SHALL be a way to trigger an uplink message. 190
2.1 Scope of LoRaWAN Certification 191
192
The scope of this specification is limited to validating compliant implementation of the 193
LoRaWAN protocol. 194
195
Intended or otherwise, the inevitable variability of performance and quality of the radio 196
implementation among end-devices is too high to allow normalized, practical evaluation. Radio 197
Frequency (RF) performance measurement, whether radiated or conducted, is therefore 198
considered out of scope of the tests described herein. Subsequently, all methodologies 199
describing RF provisioning or adjustments, (e.g., device attenuation, etc.), are intentionally 200
absent. It is the shared responsibility of the Authorized Test Houses and those parties seeking 201
certification to best accommodate the submitted end-device RF characteristics for LoRaWAN 202
protocol certification. This is intended to optimize reliability and consistency of bi-directional 203
communication of the test harness. 204
