Not able to receive data using ABP

Yes, I understand your concern and appreciate your responsiveness. Let me clarify a few points:

  1. For experimental purposes, I have been using TTN on a private network, so it does not affect the community version.
  2. My project application involves too few end devices to go for a full gateway.
  3. I read your comments on the One Channel Hub forum regarding the difference between ‘One Channel Hub’ and a ‘Single channel packet forwarder’ and realized I had misidentified the device I’m working on. Based on the criteria for a OCH (SX12xx, fixed SF and frequency), I should refer to my device as an One Channel Hub.
  4. Since I’m still in the development stages, I am using ABP mode for its convenience, which is supported by TTN. I hope this answers the question “Why ABP?”

With that clarified, my questions are:

  1. Besides undergoing a power cycle, what else could cause a frame counter mismatch between the end device and the server?
  2. In case of a mismatch, is there a way to automatically detect and reset the frame counter and MAC address?
