draft, copied/pasted from TTN, to be rewritten

Prerequisites

It is assumed to have a valid chirpstack account (either global admin or organization admin), and to be able to log on TTN console through the web interface.

Refer to this other page for details.

Creating an application

An application is linked to an organization

From console interface, navigate to organization Applications (bottom-left menu):

cs-as-org-app-home

Then select Create (top-right corner). Service Profile creation is suggested:

cs-as-org-app-create-sp

Creating a service profile (default)

Then, select Create Service Profile, fill the first two fields, leave the reste blank:

here, basic service profile is enough

cs-as-org-app-create-default-sp

Finally, select Create Service Profile (bottom-right corner):

cs-as-org-app-create-default-sp-done

(Go back to application creation)

cs-as-org-app-home

Select Create ttn-console

Then, select 'add application':

ttn-app-create

Adding an application

The application is identified by two separate identifiers

  • Application ID, internal user-friendly name chosen by user that allows to distinguish this application among its others. Must be unique for a same user.
  • Application EUI, internal TTN-only hex sequence that allows TTN to uniquely identify an application, so generated by TTN itself.

Fill the form and select Add application.

ttn-app-add-form

Application is now created, its AppEUI is displayed:

ttn-app-add-done

No device is registered yet, this page (further accessible from console main page, Applications section) allow to add devices, collaborators and to manage access key (used for integration with third-party apps).
