There is nothing in the process list I immediately recognize as LoRaWAN related software. Is the gateway configured to receive LoRaWAN packets at all?

12

No, this gateway came with Loriot Software installed. I have desistalled it. I have been trying, without sucess, to put ttn ones.

13

Ok, could you run ‘uname -a’?

14

The response for the command follows: Linux ttn-gateway 3.0.36+ #22 SMP PREEMPT Wed Nov 2 14:17:30 CST 2016 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux

When I try to execute the lora_pkt_fwd a ihave following result:

Note: SPI port opened and configured ok
Note: SPI read success
lgw_connect:532: INFO: no FPGA detected or version not supported (v0)
Note: SPI read success
lgw_connect:555: ERROR: NOT EXPECTED CHIP VERSION (v0)
ERROR: FAIL TO CONNECT BOARD
ERROR: [main] failed to start the concentrator

Anyone knows the workaround this ?

15

Which software are you using?

16

I have downloaded the Lora packet forwarder from TTN github.

17

Which build did you download?

18

Hi! Sorry my late. I have downloaded the 3.1.0 version.

I made it work. I discovered a version of the manufacturer already installed on the gateway, in a folder “/ app”. Studying this version, I noticed that this is version 1.6.0 of libloragw.
I tried, unsuccessfully, to put version 3.1.0 but I get error feedback from the FPGA version.

19

You downloaded a version for which hardware platform?

20

Hi, I have chosen Kerlink platform.

21

Looks like a Kerlink version is not cmpatible with a Gemtek gateway…

You could try one of the other builds (RPi).

22

I have tried without sucess. I am getting this error msgs:

Note: success connecting the concentrator
setup_sx125x:358: Note: SX125x #0 version register returned 0x07
setup_sx125x:363: Note: SX125x #0 clock output enabled

setup_sx125x:424: Note: SX125x #1 kept in standby mode
lgw_start:861: ERROR: UNEXPECTED VALUE 0 FOR RADIO TYPE

I think this error is because Gemtek’s gateway is 64 channels, and there is a mistake in global_conf.
I don’t get examples of global conf files with more than 8 channels.

I have gotten this error even using the config.json file, which already works with the application provided by gemtek.

23

I have modified the .json file for US configuration.

Hi All,

I have a issue with my Gemtek outdoor gateway. My gateway can’t join WAN network. I know the MAC address of it and when i check my router, I dont see it’s MAC address in DHCP list of router same as manufacturer document said. So, i don’t know what is IP to config my gateway.

Anybody ever face with this issue ?

25

Are u using Ethernet WAN or Wirless Extender?
Once you login and configured the Gateway with right Server address and Port under GIOT .
Try to connect with Internet . It should work.

Or share the Config for better understanding

26

Hi @madhuvarsha,

Thank you for your respone. I am using Ethernet WAN. I think my issue is related hardware. I don’t know my Lora gateway IP because it’s not exist in my router DHCP list. How can you know your Lora gateway IP.

Capture

I tried the connection as shown in the picture but it’s not work.

27

The problem is due to the Power Supply. When i use other Power over Ethernet device, it’s work.
Did anybody get this gateways working with TTN ?

28

Check this link :slight_smile:https://www.router-reset.com/default-password-ip-list/Gemtek

There will be IP allocated by Router from the pool. You can check from the router stats.

29

I’m trying to use an Updated version of Ubuntu16 with kernel 4.15 on this outdoor GW without success. I can’t get /dev/spidev0.0 to show up. Anyone have any experience getting the a lora mPCIe card working on a baytrail embedded system similar to this gateway?
