joinID and netID

[ltn22]

It could be good to document how to get a NetID and a JoinID.

NetIDs are provisioned by the LoRa Alliance. It is important that you become a LoRa Alliance member (which is free for Institutional members). In case if you don't have one, we can provide a temporary one just for test purposes, it should be send to us following the hexadecimal format:

A 24 bit NetID, for e.g. “6292746”, in decimal format is represented as follows in the hexadecimal format:

      	0x60050A

The JoinEUI points to the Unique Join Server (JS). The End-Device signals which JS should be interrogated through the JoinEUI field of the Join Request (JR) message. JoinEUI is also called as AppEUI in the earlier backend LoRaWAN backend specifications.

The Join EUI is a 64bit IEEE EUI-64 Identifier and is represented as follows in the hexadecimal format:

            0x00005E100000002F

For test purposes, one can have a JonEUI as you wish. But follow the IEEE EUI-64 format. We will also maintain a specific page for JoinEUI so that there is no collision.
