I am trying to link The Things Gateway and The Things Node together.
They are both successfully registered. I am using the Arduino program Basic from TheThingsNode library. The arduino monitor shows that data is being sent from the node, and the gateway console updates with new downlink data if I press a button or move the node.
On the device console I can see that the status is active and the frame count goes up, but nothing is showing up in the application data page. Any idea why ?
Please click-expand one of the messages from the device as shown by the gateway view.
It may be that it contains only network-level housekeeping traffic and no application data.
Do you have the application page open during transmissions? The console only shows ‘life’ traffic, that is traffic that arrives while the page is open.
Is the application registered in the same region the gateway is registered?
Could you elaborate on that ? I see that the device adress from received event matches the node. Here’s the data

yes to both
That’s traffic on port 3, which should be application data.
Unless something got messed up the with keys or the session post-join…
I redid the activation procedure and that solved it.
Hi. May I know how did you redo the activation procedure? Because I am facing the same problem
Try deleting your specific application in the console : console → application → setting → delete application. Then follow the activation video below. Hope that helps !
You probably shouldn’t delete the application, but just force the device to re-join.
Thank you for your reply
I am using a LoRa gateway not the things network gateway. Is this still applicable to a non TTN node? If it is, how do I force the device to re-join? Thank you
No one can help you unless you identify the specific node you are using.
First do a search for that node, and also for guidance from the manufacturer of that node or the software running on it. Often entirely removing power or re-flashing would force a re-join (it really shouldn’t but developers tend to be lazy and not actually implement the rather challenging requirements of the LoRaWAN spec).
If you don’t find any information on forcing your particular node to re-join, and you are in fact trying to use it with TTN, then please create a new topic titled “How do I force node ____ to do an new OTAA join?” where the ____ is the specific identify of your node hardware and software.
(If you aren’t using the node with TTN, then I’m afraid the question isn’t really on topic and you need to use support resources from the manufacturer or network provider)
Thank you for your reply.
I made the node using Arduino and LoRa shield. Currently, I’m using ABP not OTAA.
That’s not a meaningful response.
Specific LoRa hardware.
Specific code used, as a link to the exact version.
And have you tried simply re-flashing the sketch???

Yes I did. But nothing seemed to work
