Monitoring the activity of a LoRaWAN® device​

In the view or edit mode of the Device frame of a LoRaWAN® device, you can switch from one tab to the other to display charts showing statistics to monitor the activity of the device for a given time. This information is read-only.

Monitoring the activity of a cellular device​

In the view or edit mode of the Device frame of a cellular device, you can switch from one tab to the other to display charts showing statistics to monitor the activity of the device for a given time. This information is read-only.

These statistics are displayed according to the cellular mode enabled in the connectivity plan associated with the device. If no connectivity plan is associated, all corresponding tabs are displayed. For more information about cellular modes, see About AS routing profiles types and cellular modes.
