Hi @kausan,

A couple of questions so we can better assist you:

  1. No timestamp on the Gateway tab. What gateway tab? As far as I know there is not graphical interface that comes with the RAK7243, thus no tabs of any sort. Could you please explain the Gateway tab in what exactly ?
  2. What is the port are you using for the server IP?
  3. Are you sure you have configured LoRa Server properly. Created Gateway Profile, Device profile, Aplication, Gateways, Devices, etc.
    You said you are not sending packets. Well what are you doing in order to send packets. Do you have a node, what is the node, what mode is it working in etc.
    Please explain your setup in as much detail as possible.

Regards
Vladislav

Hi @kausan,
The latest raspbian based image from RAK website includes LoRaServer. What is the configuration you set from gateway-config?

Hi, @kausan

Can i assume that your RAK7243 is no LTE and you have download the latest firmware from RAK website: https://www.rakwireless.com/en/download/LoRa/Pilot-Gateway-Pro-RAK7243#Firmware, then use it on your RAK7243 according to my document: http://docs.rakwireless.com/en/LoRa/Pilot-Gateway-Pro-RAK7243/Application-Notes/Get_Start_with_RAK7243_without_LTE_LoRa_Gateway.pdf, right?

If it is, i think you can use the built-in loraserver to test firstly, or use my cloud loraserver to test. I am sure that it will work fine.
About time stamp, do you have connect your RAK7243 with Internet? RAK7243 will get the correct time through NTP automatically when it connect with Internet or a local NTP server.
