i have a rak7249 gateway it arrive a couple of days and im trying to use the built in lora network server. my question is how am i suppose to check if it is working with the lora gateway?? im new with this kind of stuff and want to learn more about it to use it in my project at school. can anyone help me with this. newbie here.
HI @sukarno1234,
Have check the Quick Start Guide?
https://doc.rakwireless.com/rak7249----macro-outdoor-gateway
Regards
Vladislav
Thanks for the reply Hobo, I already check and configure the gateway using the quick guide. i dont know what am i missing.
What seems to be the problem you are trying to solve?
Do you have nodes running and trying to communicate with the gateway and the server it is hosting?
If not, there’s not really anything that should be happening…
Im a newbie with this stuff. Im using Ra-01 lora nodes Frequency range: 420 - 450MHz.
This is my configuration for the lora concentrator.
Thanks for the help.
Im using this arduino code to communicate

- This example sends a valid LoRaWAN packet with payload "Hello,

- the The Things Network.
- This uses ABP (Activation-by-personalisation), where a DevAddr and
- Session keys are preconfigured (unlike OTAA, where a DevEUI and
- application key is configured, while the DevAddr and session keys are
- assigned/generated in the over-the-air-activation procedure).
- Note: LoRaWAN per sub-band duty-cycle limitation is enforced (1% in
- g1, 0.1% in g2), but not the TTN fair usage policy (which is probably
- violated by this sketch when left running for longer)!
- To use this sketch, first register your application and device with
- the things network, to set or generate a DevAddr, NwkSKey and
- AppSKey. Each device should have their own unique values for these
- fields.
- Do not forget to define the radio type correctly in
- arduino-lmic/project_config/lmic_project_config.h or from your BOARDS.txt.

Good morning, tell me how did the tests go? Did you configure the transmission ?, did you get data ?.
What MCU are you using to process the data?
Please let me know that I have time to be trying to communicate a node with RAK7249 and it has not been successful
