RAK831 + RPi 3: not working. Please help

Dear TTN Community,

after struggling o more than 3 days to setup my gateway (RAK831 915MHz + RPi 3) I ran out of ideas what my problem could be.
I surfed every post related to this device and no one helped to solve my problem, that is the reason why I am creating this post.

To summarize, all the steps I did were:
1 - Install Raspbian
2 - Update + Upgrade
3 - Cloning ic880 repo
4 - Install using sudo ./install.sh spi
5 - Modify global_conf.json according to US_global_conf.json
6 - Modified the rest pin from 25 to 17
7- Rebooting

My local_conf.json looks like this:
{
_ “gateway_conf”: {_
_ “gateway_ID”: “B827EBFFFE3EF015”,_
_ “servers”: [ { “server_address”: “brazil.thethings.network”, “serv_port_up”: 1700, “serv_port_down”: 1700, “serv_enabled”: true } ],_
_ “ref_latitude”: -27.364722222222223,_
_ “ref_longitude”: -55.89333333333333,_
_ “ref_altitude”: 0,_
_ “contact_email”: "mymail@gmail.com",_
_ “description”: "First TTN Gateway of Posadas city "_
_ }_
}

And my global_conf.json looks like this:

After rebooting I check the logs of the and everything seems to be running the way it should, see the screenshots:

sudo service ttn-gateway status returns

As you can see there is no confirmation from the backen to my GW

and if I execute

cat /var/log/syslog | grep INFO

I am pretty sure that I did the right steps to make it run, and I still see “not connected” in TTN’s console.
Did any of you experienced the same thing when setting up your GW?
I commit myself to create a well documented tutorial for this device and all the community once this is running.

Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide.
