After resetting frame counters, payload is shown on gateway traffic but not in application

I guess I will have to go there and reset it

I really doubt that will help. Resetting the node would make it execute a new OTAA join, but why would that help…? (Update: it likely will help; see next posts.)

@c_mourouzis

Why should the application server reject a payload when all the keys are correct? Why is not arriving at the application server at all? If you can, please make this clear!

Indeed, I very much wonder about that as well.

@c_mourouzis

I disabled the frames check counter. Shouldn’t that have solved any frames counters issue?

For TTN: yes maybe; see next post. For your node: no. The node does not know you changed that setting.

@c_mourouzis

Should the uplink counter be configured as lower than the one seen on the gateway traffic and the downlink counter to a larger number than the one on the device (unknown but could be a large number)?

Yes. (But the uplink counter known to TTN will already have adjusted itself (see next posts). It’s only the downlink counter that might be troublesome for ADR, as the value known to TTN will be lower than the one known in the node. But I’d assume all that does not affect your current problems. Doing a new OTAA Join will fix all counters as well.)

It is not possible to assign a custom DevAddr anyway.

Maybe the following will do the job; see also https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/docs/network/cli/api.html#ttnctl-devices-set

@htdvisser

ttnctl devices set my-device-id --override --dev-addr ... --nwk-s-key ... --app-s-key ...

But: I’ve never tested that. (And the post above is about DevAddr that starts with 00.)

So, do you have any other devices to test the above?

@c_mourouzis

Hmmm, that is not “Exactly like that!” when comparing to my screenshot? But it seems the additional “bridge” is due to different type of gateways; my screenshot was for a TTN Gateway and indeed for a Kerlink I see two more lines, referring to some “bridge”. So that’s probably not related to any problems either.

(As an aside: my note about posting screenshots for terminal output surely also applies to posting the DevAddr and all please don’t post screenshots for data that someone might need to copy; would you really expect the team to re-type the DevAddr, gateway ID and all from a screenshot…? But well, they already said they cannot investigate any further )
