Can't get Laird RG1xx Basics Station Forwarder working with TTN

I have now configured two new Laird RG1xx (868) gateways’s using Basics Station and using CUPS only. Works like a charm. The LNS address and other settings are automatically retrieved after configuring CUPS.

Some remark: For CUPS to work, you have to make sure that the “LNS Server” field in the “LoRa” tab of the RG1xx configuration console is emptied. Steps I took:

  1. Configure CUPS (add server address, certificate and key file as mentioned in the earlier posts.
  2. empty the LNS server field in the (web) config panel of the RG1xx
    Then and only then the GW started to retrieve the LNS info using CUPS.

Configuring LNS settings, like LNS server, certificate and LNS key file is not needed in this case (maybe even unwanted?)
