Microchip SAMR34 Joining Denied

A bit odd then, both my RAK831 and the R34 worked fine on 868 without any issue. 915… that was a differnet story.

That’s weird. I have a rak831 gateway, and while it’s possible to configure it to use 868MHz, it has to be configured to do so. It’s not something that it just does. In the us, I have to set a channel mask or select a subband (the second one) to get my nodes transmitting and listening on the right 8 channels of the 72 channel possibilities. Is there anything like that in AU_915? The RAK831 has two “radios” and each one covers four of the channels by configuring a center frequency and three IF offsets from that frequency for each “radio”. I don’t see how it could just receive on an entirely different band unless one radio was configured for 915 and the other for 868. I suppose that could be done, but it wouldn’t work well with most nodes. Is AU_915 your normal home band?

yes it was weird, and i’ve been able to establish today what was going on with that gateway. It was setup as an EU-868 gateway locally, but TTN thought it was a 915Mhz. After a longer discussion with the owner, it turns out that he had’nt actually connected any 915 devices to it.

good news is that now his gateway is running properly.
