This guide will help you set up the gateway to communicate over The Things Network.

Prerequisites #

  • MultiTech Conduit AEP or mLinux model.

    Update the Conduit to 5.30 firmware or later to use LoRa Basics Station, which supports channel plan configuration from the Network Server.

  • MultiTech MTAC-LoRa LoRa accessory card, installed as instructed.

    Do not forget to mount the antenna to the mCard after fitting it in the conduit.
