Hello, I have a self-build node using an RN2483. I connected the device successfully to The Things Stack V3, it was running as I expected. But after disconnecting from and reconnecting to power it did not join, the message “DevNonce is too small” appeared:

![grafik](https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/forum/uploads/default/original/3X/a/6/a67de4b8018f5a7b790c3bfbfd37e520170ac186.png)

What to do now? How can I manage to make the device joining again?  
Is there a way without reprogramming the RN2483?

Your help is much appreciated.  
Best regards  
Thomas

Please select mac 1.0.1 (firmware \< 1.0.5) or mac 1.0.2 for your device.
