1. Introduction

The R206 is a wireless integrated control box for smart homes and high reliability. The R206

can communicate with the LoRa protocol devices. It acts as a coordinator between the LoRa protocol

devices and can be automatically added and configured. It is the control core of the Netvox LoRa

smart home network. R206 is the first to implement WiFi technology, plugging the wings for LoRa

smart home, enabling various mobile terminals to control smart homes easily.

Users only need to connect Wifi through mobile APP (Android and IOS) to control home

lighting, curtains and various electrical appliances; combined with Netvox cloud service platform, let

smart home control break through time and space restrictions. Users go out to connect to the cloud

through the Internet to access the home R206 to achieve control of home appliances and at the same

time, you can also watch all the changes in the home surveillance camera , easy to achieve real smart

home remote control.

Netvox Private LoRa Protocol: A private wireless communication protocol based on LoRa long

distance, low power consumption, CSMA/CA mechanism, AES128 encryption.

Netvox Private LoRa Protocol band is as follows:

500.1 MHz_China Region China

920.1 MHz_Asia Region Asia includes Japan, Singapore, Southeast Asia and other regions

865.2 MHz_INDIA Region India

868.0 MHz_EU Region Europe

915.1 MHz_AU/US Region Americas/Australia

LoRa wireless technology:

LoRa is a wireless communication technology dedicated to long-distance low-power

consumption. Its spread-spectrum modulation method greatly increases the communication distance

compared with other communication methods, and can be widely used in long-distance low-rate IoT

wireless communication fields in various occasions. Such as automatic meter reading, building

automation equipment, wireless security systems, industrial monitoring and control. It has the

characteristics of small size, low power consumption, long transmission distance and strong

anti-interference ability.

4. Installation and Preparation

4.1 R206 Port Instruction

4.2 Hardware Connection

There are three cases:

A. If the IP camera is not connected to R206, please connect internet network cable to the WAN

port of R206.

B. Only one IP Camera, just connect one end of the network cable to the LAN port of R206 and

the other end to the network port of IP Camera, so that you can form an intranet network,

and the WAN port of R206 is connected to the internet network cable (there is no need to

connect if it does not access internet).

C. To connect multiple IP cameras, you need to connect the LAN port of R206 to any port of

SWITCH (switch). The network port of each IP Camera is also directly connected to any

port of SWITCH (switch) to form an intranet. The R206 WAN port is connected to the

internet network cable (there is no need to connect if it does not access internet).

4.3 Power on

Plug the DC 12V 1.5A power adapter into the DC Jack or DC 12V power adapter into Micro USB

port. The power indicator will be on. No other operation is required.
