Step Three

Using a Pin or small screwdriver, press in and hold the Deploy Button on the Front of the Lora Module until the Green LED on the front starts to flash

Step Four

Open up the LoRa software and configure the following settings: 

1. Select the relevant port and open communication between the software and the LoRa Module.
2. Press read and it will display the current set channel.
3. Change to the desired channel from the drop-down list. Please note if using more than 1 set of modules on the same site, the channel will need setting far apart so that the frequencies are not too close together.
