Hi, @varun

I’ve ever written a tutorial about how to use LTE function on RAK7243 with LTE (Pilot gateway pro), which is RPi + RAK2013 + RAK2245, and it is also suitable for RPi + RAK2013.
You can refer to it:

How to use LTE function on RAK7243/Pilot gateway pro

There is the latest image for RAK7243 with/without LTE function: https://www.rakwireless.com/en/download/LoRa/Pilot-Gateway-Pro-RAK7243#Firmware Just download and uncompress it, then copy the image to a SD card(>2G size) and plus to RAK7243. Then do as following steps: Set the gateway for LTE using minicom as follow: minicom -D /dev/ttyAMA0 -b 115200 Input “AT” and “Enter”, if you can see “OK”, it indicates the connection between RPi and LTE module is nice. [image] Then, we need to…

i have done all step by step still i’m not able to see anything .

[Fomi (Fomi Tong)]

Have you looked all the content of that topic? If not, i think you need to do it. Because there are also some other steps in that topic.

Now I have to use lte module for internet. So what to do now

I attached screenshot of LTE module and 2245 pi hat

I know RPi have one uart that’s why lora concentrator should work on I2C.

I remove two diode d7 & d8 according to your team.

U also attached screenshot.

Please find out attached file .please guide me step by step which image i have to use
ae3f54db17339786c2b02814fed428c0aaa1328e_2_375x500|375x500 !

i used this image - * RAK7243_LTE_based_on_LoRaGateway_OS_V2.0_20190314.rootfs.rpi-sdimg.gz

Three Led are working Green , blue and red.
please guide me.

[varun]

Please reply it still i’m waiting.

[jim (jimmy)]

Have you configured “Enable LET ａｕｔo start” with "sudo gateway-config"command?
please run “sudo monit status” to check “quectel-ppp” staus

[varun]

yes, i enabled via command " Enable LET auto start "
Please see attached screenshot.

please tell me what is next step

[varun]

I have EG95 NA module so in India i have to use only b5 band .

[jim (jimmy)]

ok, please do these steps to check log.

1. sudo monit stop quectel-ppp

2. sudo nano /etc/ppp/peers/quectel-ppp
   uncomment nodetach flag

3. sudo /usr/sbin/pppd call quectel-ppp

[jim (jimmy)]

in addition you can try to change dial config file like this.

sudo nano /etc/ppp/peers/quectel-chat-connect

//## Check with service provider for required details
//## add this line to use automatic mode
OK AT+COPS=0

i think you should kill the minicom thread first .or reboot directly
sudo killall minicom
