### Configuration

- **Step1 Initial Configuration**

When MeshCore is flashed onto a LoRa device is for the first time, it is necessary to set the server device's frequency to make it utilize the frequency that is legal in your country or region.

[Click here](https://config.meshcore.dev/) to configure the repeater.

import Tabs from '@theme/Tabs';
import TabItem from '@theme/TabItem';

In order to start communicating over the mesh, you must set your region. This setting controls which frequency range your device uses and should be set according to your regional location.

Change the LoRa region and save setting. Then `**Reboot**` the device, or else the setting will not take effect.
