After the connection to the USB port of PC, uLory will be booted and RDY LED of the device
will “blink” in the 0.1-second interval under the Setup Mode and in the 0.5-second interval
under the Operation Mode.
* See 4.2 in the Manuals for details of LED operation.
5.1 Install USB Driver Installation
- A driver, USB 2.0 A Type, needed for uLory
- Download a driver from the library at http://www.sysbas.com

- Install the downloaded driver (USB One Click Driver) after connecting uLory to USB Port of
PC
5.2 Check USB Serial Port
- Check if USB Serial Port is created as below after installing a driver
6. How to Use
Users should adjust setting of Serial (interface, communication speed, parity bits and flow
control) and LoRa (channel, Spreading Factor) for the communication between uLorys or
with other devices in LoryNet via AT command or LoryView. The default Serial setting is as
follows: Baud rate of 9600, Data Bit of 8 and Stop Bit of 1. Here, Data Bit and Stop Bit are
not subject to change.

Setup via command
Set and open USB Serial Port which was originally created on PCs using the terminal program as
belows:
Baud Rate: 9600
Data Bit: 8

AT+DMS=<Length>
0(0~116)
unit: byte
Serial data will be transmitted to
LoRa after a specific length of
data as specified is received
The priority is given in order of Length, STX or ETX and Time in case of that uLory includes
features of Time, STX, ETX, and Length in the condition for Serial data reception.
For example, if 1237890 will firstly be recognized according to the condition of Length if
1237890456 is entered with less than the 1-second-interval and the condition is set as

uLory User Guide
17
follows: Length=7, STXL=3, ETXL=3, STX=31,32,33, ETX=34,35,36, Time=100. If 5671237456
is entered with less than the 1-second-interval, the number 567 will be ignored being
considered as not STX because it does not satisfy the condition of Length but the second
priority condition. In other words, only the number 7 will be recognized as a result of
recognition of 123 for STX and 456 for ETX.
Setup via utility (LoryView)
The utility provided along with uLory is available on http://www.sysbas.com where users can
download the data from the library of the homepage for the customer convenience. Users
can use LoryView for communication, reset, initialization and firmware update, and find the
detailed instructions on the use in the LoryView manual.
<LoryNet Mode>
LoryNet is an IoT platform with virtual cable that enables smooth communication as if it
were reading and writing to file by connecting devices utilizing low power, mid-range
wireless and wired communication technologies to the internet.
As a collection of protocols, cables and equipment in the middle to deliver signals and data
between objects, the virtual cable makes it easier to connect devices in LoryNet to establish
a new and desired network by improving reception from the distant or complicated
connections.
Accordingly, under the LoryNet Mode, uLory reads and writes entries, which are addresses
of a table to exchange data between devices with each table serving as an agency
Users can refer to the LoryView Manuals for detailed instructions on LoryNet Mode.

7. Utilization
LoRa is low power, mid- and long-range communication utilizing LPWA(Low Power Wide
Area) communication technology. With slow speed but long range of transmission and
reception, it is widely used in the area of remote monitoring and control such as smart
street lighting, smart metering, smart farm, smart farming and smart factories.
As it boasts a communication range of the maximum of 20km in open terrain, it can be
used in a variety of applications through 1:1 and 1:N communications as shown below:
