When an Activation By Personalization (ABP) end-device has connected to the TCL, there 193
SHALL be a way to trigger an uplink message. 194
2.1 Scope of LoRaWAN Certification 195
196
The scope of this specification is limited to validating compliant implementation of the 197
LoRaWAN protocol. 198
199
Intended or otherwise, the inevitable variability of performance and quality of the radio 200
implementation among end-devices is too high to allow normalized, practical evaluation. Radio 201
Frequency (RF) performance measurement, whether radiated or conducted, is therefore 202
considered out of scope of the tests described herein. Subsequently, all methodologies 203
describing RF provisioning or adjustments, (e.g., device attenuation, etc.), are intentionally 204
absent. It is the shared responsibility of the Authorized Test Houses and those parties seeking 205
certification to best accommodate the submitted end-device RF characteristics for LoRaWAN 206
protocol certification. This is intended to optimize reliability and consistency of bi-directional 207
communication of the test harness. 208
