Gateway Adding Issue

Gateways
1

To whom this may concern,

Recently i’ve been having trouble connecting a gateway to TTN, naturally, I had the instinct to delete and re-add the gateway to TTN to see if that assisted the issue. It did not.

Have recieved the following error:

{
  "code": 6,
  "message": "error:pkg/util/store:id_taken (ID already taken, choose a different one and try again)",
  "details": [
    {
      "@type": "type.googleapis.com/ttn.lorawan.v3.ErrorDetails",
      "namespace": "pkg/util/store",
      "name": "id_taken",
      "message_format": "ID already taken, choose a different one and try again",
      "correlation_id": "6cc0a7c3eb514b5696bebb12f7ad9e36",
      "cause": {
        "namespace": "pkg/util/store",
        "name": "already_exists",
        "message_format": "already exists",
        "correlation_id": "ad2afbc94d304dbfb9cde79e4dbd069d",
        "code": 6
      },
      "code": 6
    }
  ]
}

Note: I have tried to use different gateway ID’s (123, 1234, abc), yet no luck adding it back.

There is one user under this organisation, which is me, yet I can’t see any options to either purge or release the gateway EUI from the TTN so I can add it back again. Is it possible for the back-end team to remove the gateway

Gateway EUI: 24E124FFFEF05F74.

I have searched the existing threads, yet the solutions there to this problem have not helped.

Choose another ID, and not a ID that is like a “default” thing to type on the keyboard that every other user would have done

Pick a ID that will make sense

This used to a be a weekly topic for someone, so if you try searches with the error message you’ll find lots more detail.

But if you follow the advice above & the error message you’ll be fine.

For anyone else reading this thread from Google, there is never a good reason to delete a gateway, it never helps.
