Rn2483 + rpi4-ic880a-spi gateway

Gateways
1

Hi,
my lorawan end-device is a rpi4+rn2483, and my gateway is an rpi4+ic880a-spi.
I follow all tutorial that i’ve found, everything seem to work properly but after setting right deveui,appeui,appkey, also ‘mac set adr on’ command, I give the “mac join otaa” command and i get denied response every time.

My hypothesis is that there is something wrong with downlink from gateway to node, because at server side i see the proper ‘join request’ reception and ‘join accepted’ transmission. Some advice to fix this?

Check the join requests SF, if it is SF12 you should retry with another SF.

On the gateway check the log file of the packet forwarder to see if a downlink is received and transmitted.

Thank you, it works!
It actually was set at SF12, but before changing the SF I saw that the data rate set in RN2483 wasn’t the default one and so I changed it (command: mac set dr 5) in this way also SF authomatically changed to SF7, and after that all work fine.
