If you’ve read lots of posts you’ll have seen me start with the same answer each time - it’s not live due to the way that the database is structured.
If you have a device uplinking, then it will show on the gateway’s internal log. As to the connection to TTN, what network are you on, it needs to be able to send over port 1700.
I do not understand it. I just did everything as it was written at the LPS8 user manual. I just want my gateway to get connected to TTN. How can I do it? Please, help
Given that the database doesn’t exist anymore, sure you can. And as they were separate databases, we could when we were moving from v2 to v3.
The Packet Forwarder is also totally separate from the various Network Servers, which is the thing we are querying.
You know when you pop the bonnet on a car and quickly close it because it just looks too much? Double that, and then again and then think TTI infrastructure - many database servers providing duplicates for resilience with cluster failover, multiple instances of a NS which I figure they have setup in a Kubernetes cluster so that the load balancer can then forward the messages to what ever is the least loaded. Probably multiple load balancers. Ditto for the Application Server. And then there is the Identity, Gateway, Gateway Configuration, Join, Device Claim and Network Operation Centre Servers instances.
And then somewhere with some more moving parts is the Packet Forwarder.
To totally mangle Nietzsche " …if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you" so I don’t recommend getting in to the details unless you are some insane bearded SysOps person who drinks vegan beer from Jam Jars and does crosswords composed of AES cyphers.
I think to put any gateway on v2 in context, back in December TTI had the option of turning off the v2 gateway server, thereby removing a whole pile of abandoned gateways or running a cut down version that relays via Packet Forwarder.
However I’m not so sure the ttnv2 tenant lists the not-transferred gateways - I think it lists the gateways that were on v2 that weren’t deleted that have made it over to v3.
So descartes-m2m-tele-2 in front of me was on v2 and is now on v3 which you can see in the data. Whereas descartes-m2m-tele-1 is still on v2, is behind me (oh yes it is) and I can see uplinks from my new special friend, the most gorgeous PCB I’ve made yet, arrived via both gateways. But the v2 gateway data isn’t in the PF API output …
For anyone following any other topic, it’s on OTAA, it’s using LoRaMac-node and it hasn’t been pestered with any downlinks.
As I suggested, if you want to stare in to the abyss, I’ll see your Black Label ‘water’ and let’s see how you can get on with something with some legs, like Carlsberg Special Brew.
Don’t forget, it’s Turtles all the way down …

PS, “baby’s head wetting” is British tradition where you drink to the baby’s health, we let the vicar try to drown the poor thing.
