Dragino gateway -- support TTN Basic Station

Keep us posted !

Following snapshot is showing similar issues/values as well. Snapshot is from the setup Wiki for LPS8+BasicStation Notes for TTN - Wiki for Dragino Project

Maybe start comparing hardware revisons of LPS8?
New features advertised by Dragino, are not necessarily supported by “older” hardware.
Just had a case like that with a 6 month old LDDS75.

Anyhow, I’ll keep my LPS8 on the UDP forwarder for now.

I didn’t use the version of the firmware linked (as there was a later version) but I was unable to get the DEFAULT_CERTIFICATE button to do anything on that screen. The page would re-render and some input controls would appear and then disappear but it would show a similar message:

Not Found CA certificate,User can clicking DEFAULTde CERTIFICATE to install certificate

(That’s copied exactly from the screen: typos, spacing and all)

What later version do you mean? In the moment I only find the openvpn-version with the implementation of Basicstation and an experimental version with BasicStation without openvpn.
Both versions are causing timing-errors in the log of my LIG16 and LPS8 and I cannot see the gateway-traffic anymore.

I had no problems to install the certificate, neither on LIG16 nor on LPS8 using the experimental firmware.

I downloaded the Sep 29th version from here (The linked article points you to the Aug 27th one).

I’ll wait for the October one and see if that fixes it. Sticking with UDP for now

This is the experimental firmware. I have some problems with this version (timing errors, missing “Gateway Traffic”).

I use the latest firmware of lgw–build-v5.4.1633695703-20211008-2023 which is working fine

You are totally right. There is a new firmware since a few hours. I can confirm that “LogRead/GatewayTraffic” now works.

But only for Semtech UDP. Using Basics Station with firmware lgw-5.4.1633695703 the “LogRead/GatewayTraffic” stays empty.
“Previous Log: Station” is still filled up with: “Time sync rejected: quality=348 threshold=341” - whatever this means.

This morning I switched back to Semtech UDP. I need to monitor my gateway-traffic.

do you use the gateway is LIG16?

you can back to the Semtech UDP without complex operations,I will check this function of station traffic monitor

Yes, this gateway is a LIG16. It was no problem to switch back to Semtech UDP.

Tried to migrate my LPS8 from V2 to V3 console. Using the Basic Station setup as described above. Console says “disconnected”, but the blue light on the device is steady which indicates “device alive with lorawan connection”. Using the LPS8 LogRead, gateway traffic is empty. Am I connected or not?

Do you see something in the V3-console Gateway Live Data?
Every 30 seconds there should be a message from your gateway concerning the gateway status.

If you use BasicsStation, the Gateway-traffic log stays empty for the firmware version beeing.

Hi Wolfgang, thanks - no there are no messages coming in, see screenshot :frowning:

I have an LT22222 that I have also had no joy in migrating ! I am still receiving its data at ThingSpeak? Even if I turn off my gateway, I still get data from my LT22222 so it must be going via another gateway.

It is rather easy to switch the LPS8 back to Semtech UDP. I would propose to do this and watch, wether the data of the gateway appear again in the console.
I have a similar constellation (LPS8, LT22222, LT33222) running without problems with TTN V3 ( TTS CE) and Semtech UDP.

Thanks for your advice Wolfgang.
I’m still unable to get my LPS8 connected on TTN V3, TTS CE. Gone through the manuals, this forum and some tutorial videos, but I’m not seeing anything wrong. I’m in Australia so there are 8 FSB bands to choose from. FSB2 says its used by TTN, so I assume I should use that one?
The gateway traffic on the gateway itself and in the ttn console is empty. On the gateway LogRead there is an error - I can’t find any clues to resolve this, maybe its connected?:
[main] failed to start the concentrator.
Should I delete the gateway and start again? I think I’ve deleted the gateway from the V2 console (does that have any bearing?) My firmware version is lgw-5.4.1635422883
