Multitech Conduit (MTCDT-LEU1-247A) with loracard (MTAC-LORA-H-868) and GSM Cellular for WAN Transport.
After a few days of trouble-free operation, the gateway no longer sends data. after a restart, everyone is back.
I looked at the log files and found the following:
14:43:08 INFO: Watchdog is disabled
14:43:08 INFO: Contact email configured to “xxx.xxx.com”

devicehq is not interrupted. Only the last seen status on console.thethingsnetwork.org is interrupted and and packages are not received.
The log has this message but the unit is working after reboot?
Take note of the IP address on PPP
$ ifconfig
When the device fails check again if the IP address has changed on the cellular interface.
Try to add “autoquit_threshold” to the gateway config to restart if the IP changes.
Check that there is only one packet forwarder process running
$ ps -A
Try to stop the packet forwarder, reset the lora card, then start the packet forwarder. This should occur on reboot
$ mts-io-sysfs store lora/reset 0
$ mts-io-sysfs store lora/reset 1
Check that the card hardware is functioning, cdone should go low when creset is low.
$ mts-io-sysfs show lora/cdone
$ mts-io-sysfs store lora/creset 0
$ mts-io-sysfs show lora/cdone
$ mts-io-sysfs store lora/creset 1
$ mts-io-sysfs show lora/cdone
Please update to the newest version of the packet forwarder. To do so, get the newest installer from https://github.com/kersing/multitech-installer. Easiest way is log on to the conduit and run:
