Initial setup of RAK 7258 Gateway

LPWAN Industrial Gateways / Concentrators RAK7258
1

Hello,

I recently received the RAK 7258 gateway and I am trying to setup it according to instructions provided here:


and here:

I also updated to the latest FW version: 1.1.0042_Release r172

Apparently my device cannot connect to the local loraserver on the gateway.
What is wrong with my settings?

Thanks

===================================================================
On local mqtt broker I saw following messages from gateway:
gateway/60XXXXXXXXd350/stats
{“mac”:“60XXXXXXXXd350”,“time”:“2019-07-04T15:58:30Z”,“rxPacketsReceived”:1,“rxPacketsReceivedOK”:1,“txPacketsReceived”:0,“txPacketsEmitted”:0}

While trying to connect with device I got this message:

application/5/device/000425191801dafb/join
{“applicationID”:“5”,“applicationName”:“app5”,“deviceName”:“SAM R34”,“devEUI”:“000425191801dafb”,“devAddr”:“02042519”}

Device data:

DevEUI : 0x000425191801dafb
AppEUI : 0x0000000000000005
AppKey : 0x00000000000000000000000000000005

Hi @cash
If i understand you right, you want to use build in LoRaServer. Yes?
For that you have to choose Build-in LoRa Server under Protocol menu in Gateway Configuration page.

MQTT Bridge is to point the Gateway to external LoRaServer, or another Gateway Broker .

Hi Todor,
Thanks for the fast reply.
I already did that and I see messages on local MQTT and also I can see that device is connecting to the gateway and to the server.
But it is not authorized…
What could it be?

I also don’t see any reply from application server on Mqtt and I cannot find any logs.

Can you test the same scenario, but change device to Class A ? Both in node and LoRaServer.

Hi,
I have set both to type A.
I get the same results: device sends join request, I can see it in local mqtt broker, but it isn’t accepted.
Also I cannot see any answer from the application server.

Hi @cash,

It would seem that you are using the NA915 band in your node settings.
Can you please send a screenshot of the frequency setup of the lora concentrator?

Hi,
I am able to see that the device is trying to connect to GW, it sends join request and I can see it in Live Device Data (picture attached)

Hi

I was able to make the device to join to the local server.
These are the gateway & device params:

Application Configuration

====================== Next challenge ========================
How to send data to the device?
Is it possible with local loraserver?

You need to change the region for debugging, because I see that your node is set to NA915, but your gateway is set to US915.
