Hi. I’m having trouble registering my RAK2887 as a gateway. I’ve posted on the RAK forums, but I’ll duplicate it here in case anyone can help me. Thanks. Issue: RAK2287 won’t connect to TTN as a gateway Setup: Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.1, OS “10 (buster)”, 4.19.97-v7l+. RAKWireless gateway RAK…

There is an issue where the Console doesnt always show gw’s as connected - do you have a node (known good!) sending data that you can see in Application? [image] TTN V2 Console not working properly all the time v2 Backend The TTN Console is not working properly all the tim…

[image] aal7: Gateway ID: DCA632FFFExxxxxx The RAK2287 is based on the “new” SX1302 chip. This chip is different to the previous SX1301 chip as it has its own unique ID. Depending on the Packet Forwarder being used, the gateway may have an ID based on the Raspberry Pi, the ID extracted from…

Good to know…still waiting on my 1st '1302 based gw/con card to evaluate… :wink:

:thinking: Hummm if you use the chip ID to register a GW and card later fails and needs replacement - e.g. if it goes deaf after a nearby lightning strike (not close enough to kill whole GW) what happens to that GW registration? Spares and mapping could be a wrinkle… Also in a broader (non TTN as o…

Thank you for the responses. To answer the questions asked: I’ve tried two known-good nodes transmitting into the RAK2287. Neither has had any success. The gateway ID is shown when I run “sudo gateway-config”: [image] Yes, I checked legacy forwarder when registering In terms of the global_conf.…

[image] aal7: Perhaps the local_conf overwrites the global_conf?? you are absolutely correct, the local_conf.json over rides the same items found in global_conf.json

See if you can see if the gateway is running or if it failed at startup. on a command line try typing sudo systemctl status lora (and hit tab at this point). It should resolve to something like sudo systemctl status lora_pkt_fwd.service See if the packet forwarder is running or if it failed to st…

Does it matter which directory I call this from? I’ve tried it in /opt/ttn-gateway/packet-forwarder/lora_pkt_fwd/ so far. Hitting tab at the point you suggest doesn’t resolve. If I type the command you’ve suggested in full it says: Unit lora_pkt_fwd.service could not be found. I’m guessing this i…

its probably ttn-gateway.service, so try sudo systemctl status ttn (and press tab at that point. It does not matter what directory you are in. To see all the services run by systemd you can type sudo systemctl status

Hold the help peeps, let’s get Andrew’s DNS settings sorted first!
