I have a RAK7268C connected to TTN via cellular backhaul using a Hologram SIM card. Daily cellular data usage is ~2MB per day for the past 3 months. However on Aug 27 the daily data usage jumped to 21MB and then on Aug 28 the data usage jumped to 48MB at which point Hologram paused the data flow.
I have 20 sensors in my system and after reviewing my system logs, I am confident that the source of the large data flow is not from the sensors.
I am wondering if the source of the large data flow could be a software update being pushed out to the 7268C by RAKWireless. I know RAK pushes out updates for their Helium miners, but am not sure if they push out updates for their other gateways. As far as I know, I have not registered the gateway to receive updates. I have the 7268C set up in BasicStation mode.
I would appreciate feedback and suggestions on the following questions
- Does the 7268C get automatic software updates?
- Any ideas on how to uncover the source of the large data flow? My next step is to post in the Hologram forums.
- Is it possible to enable the white list function on the 7268C and still connect it to TTN? I am asking because the instructions I followed to configure the gateway for TTN specified using the BasicStation mode, which does not have white list capability.
Thanks all!
