TTN GATEWAY central 3

[LoRaTracker]

OK - it is in an “urban environment” - but LoRa was touted as working over “kilometers” in an urban environment.

And you will find lots of evidence that this is indeed the case.

But urban areas are tricky, the range can vary significantly from one urban area to another, so just because some people get ‘kilometers’ in an urban area there is no guarantee that everyone will, such are the vagries of UHF propagation.

The only practical method I can think of to benchmark a gateways RF performance is to measure it under open field line of sight conditions, i.e. take it away from an urban environment.

Perhaps you could provide some more details of what ‘almost clear “line of sight”’ is and what is ‘a few hundred metres’ ?

Thank you for your reply.
The antenna cable is a 15m Panorama Antennas CS29 “ultra low loss” cable with pre-manufactured connectors at both ends:
http://www.panorama-antennas.com/site/index.php?route=product/product&path=68&product_id=206
The antenna itself is a Delock LoRa 868 MHz Antenna N plug 2.09 dBi

Delock LoRa 868 MHz Antenna N plug 2.09 dBi omnidirectional fixed outdoor white

Hitherto, this same cable (in the same place, even with the same LoRa antenna) has been used to receive ADSB aircraft transponder signals at 1090MHz and has exhibited very good sensitivity (I have picked up signals 200 miles away at 40,000 feet)
I just wanted to check that the TTN Gateway can be used with such an external antenna and whether anyone runs it that way and what results can be expected.

[janski]

Thank you for your reply.
I will try and provide a more scientific reading.
My “The Things Node” has a Sketch that transmits every 10 minutes so I can read off the RSSI reading using Cayenne. It reads -78 dBm when the node is in the “around the house” and (when it stops raining) I will eyeball the furthest spot I can SEE from where the antenna is and go there to see if the Node will connect literally line of sight. I am on the side of a hill, so that should not be difficult.
I will then post the results (including the exact distance) here.
I may try several places, and I appreciate that the presence of nearby buildings and RF interference may have a detrimental effect.

Of interest to me would be to know if there is any kind of benchmark that can be used.
TTN’s objective as an organisation is (among others) to encourage individuals and companies to deploy gateways in as many optimum locations and configurations as possible. To that end, such individuals would benefit from being able to verify that they have deployed more than a parrot perch!

I mentioned that earlier;

Whilst that sort of testing is actually quite easy and some of the techniques I use are discussed here;

https://github.com/LoRaTracker/AntennaTesting

Its way to much work for a lot of people.

Similar comparisions in ‘urban’ areas are quite difficult. The diference in reception distance between true line of sight conditions and what you get in ‘urban’ areas can be vast, 1200:1 or ever more. The implication is that variations between one urban area and another can be significant.

The only alterantive I can think of is if people would first post data and pictures of their gateway locations and setups. Then post pictures from locations looking towards the gateways together with the reception results from the nodes. At least then you have a photo guide to typical scenarios.

[TonySmith]

I then fitted an outdoor antenna high on the roof - a Delock Lora 868 omnidirectional antenna fed via about 10 metres of 50 ohm coax.

You can see it perched on the left of the TV aerial.

I would suggest the TTN antenna’s location relative to the TV antenna is going have a huge influence on its performance. It looks like the active part of the antenna is about the same height as the TV antenna and as a result the radiation pattern of the TTN antenna will no longer be uniform in all directions but distorted and directional. In comparison, the antenna to the right of the TV antenna would work correctly as it’s above the TV antenna.

To explain: if you look closely at the TV antenna you will see the cable is connected to 2 or 3 of the metal elements on the TV antenna (driven elements), the rest of the metal elements are passive. However they have the correct length and location to interact with driven elements to achieve a highly directional pattern to improve the performance of the television.

Now back to the TTN antenna: The TV antenna is going to act as Passive Elements to the TTN antenna and influence its radiation pattern. I realise the distance between the two is quite a few wavelengths and at that distance a single upright pole (like the pole that supports the TV antenna) has very little effect, however the TV antenna is large and will influence the performance of the TTN antenna.

When you conduct your “line of sight tests”, see if you can repeat this in a number of directions and see if you observe the gain is different for each direction.

I finally got around to booting it up and it connected to Ethernet and showed up on my console immediately! Woohoo!

Whooho

Is there a Wiki someplace where I can find

not that I know

I did find this: https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/docs/gateways/gateway/programhexfile.html

Is this what I have to do to get it updated?

select “Automatically update gateway” in TTN Console

BTW … how do I get invited to the Slack channel?

you’d need to request an automatic invite on https://account.thethingsnetwork.org

[kersing (Jac Kersing)]

I see people talking about firmware updates - and obviously mine needs an update - but I’m not seeing a Wiki page or specific instructions on how to force the OTA update they claim exists. Or is my firmware too old to support the OTA? And if I have to use the SD card, where is the Wiki page that explains the process?

Did you check the documentation and github site for this device? There you’ll find information on SD card updates.

[Humancell]

Did you check the documentation and github site for this device? There you’ll find information on SD card updates.

Hello! Thank you for the reply!

Yes … I read everything on the “documentation” link that you provided, and it only shows someone programming the gateway using a hardware programmer. Yet when I read elsewhere, it says that the gateways are automatically updated via OTA. Mine, after numerous reboots, and days of operation has not been updated. How is the OTA triggered?

I also looked on Github, and read there the README in the firmware directory where, again, it states: “Installing the firmware is usually done using over-the-air updates from our official releases. Here are the steps to install custom firmware:”

So … is there somewhere explaining that I need to do the SD Card update and that OTA is not working?

Thank you for the response!

[kersing (Jac Kersing)]

My gateway recently updated automatically so OTA is certainly working. However there has been an updated firmware with an update for certificates some time ago that might (I didn’t look into it to check) have some impact on the ability to update over the air.

I would suggest you use the SD card mechanism to update to a recent (last 2 months) firmware and see what happens when a new version is released.
Make sure you have ‘Automatically update gateway’ checked in the gateway settings.

Ok … that seemed to work and get me closer! I’m now at v1.06?

Version Info	
Hardware:  v1
Bootloader:  r1-7167873a (2017-06-02T13:48:18Z)
Firmware:  v1.0.6-d8cb4c30 (2019-05-17T07:19:39Z)

Are most people running the “Beta” version to get to v1.0.7?

Also … as a side note …

When booting WITHOUT the SD Card in place, my gateway seems to sit FOREVER and doesn’t appear to want to connect to the Ethernet. (No lights on my hub)

When booting WITH the SD Card in place, my gateway boots immediately, and connects the Ethernet and is off and running.

Ideas on why?

[ScottM]

Does The Things Gateway implement the full US sub-band 2? (channels 8-15 + 65?)

I am trying to figure out why my gateway only appears to receive even frame upload packets from a OneThinx module and OneThinx thought the gateway might not implement channel 65. (I looked at the source from the last time I built the gateway firmware (1.0.5) and it looks like it implements 8+1 channels (8-15 & 65):

       SYS_DEBUG(SYS_ERROR_WARNING, "LORA: use default US config\r\n");
        status = status && configureRXChain(0, 1, 904200000);
        status = status && configureRXChain(1, 1, 905000000);
        status = status && configureIFChainX(0, 1, 0, -300000);
        status = status && configureIFChainX(1, 1, 0, -100000);
        status = status && configureIFChainX(2, 1, 0, 100000);
        status = status && configureIFChainX(3, 1, 0, 300000);
        status = status && configureIFChainX(4, 1, 1, -300000);
        status = status && configureIFChainX(5, 1, 1, -100000);
        status = status && configureIFChainX(6, 1, 1, 100000);
        status = status && configureIFChainX(7, 1, 1, 300000);
        status = status && configureIFChain8(1, 0, 400000, 500000, 8);
        status = status && configureIFChain9(0, 0, 0, 0, 0);

(Hoping someone can save me from having to go through the pain of building a debug image of the 1.0.7 firmware so I can poke around. )

Thanks, Scott.

[ankush_kapile]

I also got the 915 The Things Network Gateway and was looking for any work around to get that Gateway working with US ranges (but in India) just for the test purpose.
Please note: I do not want to connect any India specific LoRa devices to this Gateway. I already have 1 US based LoRa device which I can connect to this Gateway for my test.

By looking at other posts related to the Gateway setup and the India specific bands. I don’t think whatever I am trying is possible but still I am looking for some workaround to get 915 TTN activated and solve my test purpose.

Thanks in advance.

[BoRRoZ]

you probably need a hardware modification … if you really need to test another frequency band, best to import a gateway for that specific band imho.

[danmaneu]

Is there someone still experiencing reconnect issues? I want my gateway connected via WiFi and I was able to make some improvements in the firmware so I went from this:

to this:

Here is my current branch:

danielkucera/gateway

I can also provide firmware images if someone is interrested.
There are still some minor issues but it is at least acceptable now.

I’ve also created a esp8266 firmware which captures logs on TTNGW and sends them to my syslog so I have all logs stored on my server like this:

[pe1mew (Remko)]

Hi, Great work! It is the first serious attempt outside TTI and Tweetonig I know to improve this firmware. Thank you. As I cannot compile myself I am happy to test and share my experience.

[danmaneu]

Ok guys, here is the latest compiled version for you to try:
https://s.danman.eu/ttngw/

Upgrade the usual way: FAT formated SD card with folder “update” and these files in.

[pe1mew (Remko)]

Keep you posted about the results

[pe1mew (Remko)]

Today I found time to start the test. I have copied the new firmware to the uSD card and booted the gateway.

1. Without changing configuration (ethernet connected) the gateway came up after powering and started working with the uSD card installed.
2. Than I reset the gateway (pressing the reset button 3 seconds to erase wifi settings).
3. Disconnect ethernet and connect to WiFi accesspoint of gateway.
4. Reconfigured the gateway using the activation page to use wifi and provided the credentials for the local access point.
5. gateway restarts, connects to Wifi and works fine.

now we wait and see.

As can be seen I use V2 bootloader.

[pe1mew (Remko)]

Hi @danmaneu Here are the first results over last night. In my case it is not promising other than that it seems that connection is recovered faster with this firmware.

I have information from to types of logging:

1. Logging by mij gateway monitoring script that queries in a 10 minute interval to see if a gateways has not been responsive for a minute.
2. DHCP requests as recorded by my router. I assume that a DHCP request is the result of an newly initiated WiFi connection.
