That, by the way, is not true. EUIs are not random, but are taken from a range assigned to (purchased by) some manufacturer. In the factory, they’re probably assigned to products sequentially. So, if a user makes a tiny error, then chances are good that it ends up being an EUI assigned to another piece of hardware in the same product range.
The good thing: in the other topic we learned that deleting a gateway (usually) does release its EUI, despite the alarming warning. So, if someone realizes their typing mistake, all is probably fine if they then delete the gateway from TTN Console.
I accidentally deleted my gateway like everyone else here. My gateway EUI is 24E124FFFEF12023. Mac address is 24:e1:24:f1:20:24. Could you please delete my gateway so I can register it again? Sorry for all the trouble I’m giving.
Thank you for your help, again, but I decided to write in this thread upon trying to connect and failing after registering the ID I’ve changed like you’ve suggested.
It is common for the EUI to be generated by adding FFFF or FFFE in the middle order bytes of the primary (usually Wireline) ENet MAC, or for WiFi only devices like the TTIG, the WiFiMAC.
In your case I note from original post:
And it looks like they dont match or you have another typo!
Can you post back and confirm the MAC and what EUI has been set for the GW (Not what has been entered by you in console…)
I simply took my MAC address, formed it into an EUI (inserted FF and FE in the middle) and changed my Gateway ID as so. But my gateway EUI did not change. But still, I went ahead and typed in my new Gateway ID as Gateway EUI. It does not connect.
I tried to access my gateway through SSH, but it won’t give me permission to do so.
Hello! I know they don’t match. I would like to write down my steps:
1- Deleted the registered gateway accidentally.
2- After seeing my mac address, i changed my gateway id to 24E124FFFEF12024.
3- Registered another gateway with EUI 24E124FFFEF12024.
That shows Registered GW (vs ID) as ending '23…can you condfirm the EUI of the Actual GW NOT the TTN Console registration, please. It may be that you have another problem where TTN Console doesnt show reliably the connection status. Do you have a node registered and App running - can you see any data?
Checking the NOC I can see a '23 GW breifly connected on 13th Jan - I guess yours before deletion?
I had just updated my last post when you put up the pics. I see no '24 EUI registered through the NOC as you can see. Can you confirm what you deleted in the Console - a '23 or a '24 based registration?
