Hi I have the IP67 conduit from Multitech I installed the ttn packet forwarder using the tutorial from TTN Now, I want to disable and use the forwarder of the gateway itself I know how to stop it every time but when I restart the conduit it works by default Can you tell me how to do it please? my firmware is 1.4.4 ---

I think you could just reinstall the Multitech firmware, bit drastic but it should work ---

I’m no expert, but head here to grab your appropriate firmware [http://www.multitech.net/developer/downloads/](http://www.multitech.net/developer/downloads/) Then once you have the bin file - log onto the Multitech, and under the administration menu item, there is firmware upgrade. Just install the same version over the top. Then I think you will have to jump into global\_conf.json and modify it to connect to TTN servers. I’m sure there are other examples in the fourm on how to do that. cheers Paul ---

I wanted to re-write the firmware However, my firmware is 1.4.4 which is not found in the Multitech download page The latest firmware there is 1.4.3 I think there’s a way to stop the ttn forwarder as a default, or delete it I just don’t know the right commands to do so @kersing , could you please help in this? I am beginner in Linux commands ---

I’ll try. I’m unable to test so this might not work. I’m providing software for people to join TTN to increase network coverage, not help them leave TTN and decrease coverage. I think TTN and its community provide added value beyond what the AEP is able to provide, so why do you not want to contibute? Cut-and-past the following commands to the Conduit command line: ```auto update-rc.d -f ttn-pkt-forwarder remove update-rc.d lora-packet-forwarder defaults 95 30 cat << _EOF_ > /etc/default/lora-packet-forwarder # set to "yes" or "no" to control starting on boot ENABLED="yes" _EOF_ ``` Reboot after these changes and hopefully you are set. ---

Hi Thank you for your help @kersing I did the same but replaced “lora-packet-forwarder” with “lora-network-server” in second and third lines and it worked as for the other matter: I sincerely thank all who added value to the community I myself am new to lora and the TTN community helped me a lot The reason I can’t use TTN: I am using it and sending data of 100+ bytes per packets per nodes each 1-3 minutes the TTN fair policy doesn’t help in this and I might later even abuse the duty cycle for certain tests (inside a lab in a building so it won’t be a problem) I hope a can add more to the community later in other projects ---

Hi, Which network/application server you are using now? Could you kindly share your experience. ---

Hi @Osman Sorry for the late reply I am using Multitech as a network server (Multitech gateway can be a network server itself) And AWS cloud for application server
