RAK7268 - WisGate Edge Lite 2 - Status LEDs are showing wrong status

LPWAN Industrial Gateways / Concentrators
1

When Gateway is operating in properly by connecting to WiFi Network (Client + AP mode) and LED status are not showing as per the documentation.

Fireware Version: 1.1.2_RAK rRAK-b5615257b

Here is status of LEDs which are misleading.

Breathing LED - RED colour
PWR LED - Working as expected
LoRa LED - Not lidding at all. But, I could see my LoRa device is joined and able to send the data to TTN
WLAN LED - LED is always off - But connected to Wireless Network as client and able to connect to TTN
LTE LED - Continue to flashing - But, Multi WAN should use WiFi not the LTE as I have not connected Ethernet.

Also I am seeing this error in system logs

Could you please advise as bit confusing or anything wrong in the product.

Hello, I am having a similar problem with RAK7268C firmwawre 1.2.3_RAK rRAK-a6e14b0
GW is connected over LTE to AWS IoT core using basics station. LED is breathing red indicating there is a problem, however the LoRa node is joined and sending unconfirmed uplinks to AWS and received in AWS console. RAK system log shows the following errors:

I always see many LoRa modulation errors…

Do I need to adjust the settings in AWS so I don’t get these errors?

Hello @ec3,
Please update to the latest firmware, you can download it here.

Best Regards

Nikola - the link you provided for firmware download does not work…

Sorry, my bad. It should work now :smiley: .

Hi @Nikola - I upgraded to the latest available firmware for my RAK7268C (using LTE, running “1.3.1_RAK b71”), and I’m experiencing similar issues to those mentioned above. Specifically:

  • LED is breathing red when connected to AWS IoT (confirmed on the AWS console)
  • multiple consecutive “user.warn basicstation[10682]: [LOG:WARN] LoRa modulation error: 0” messages in the gateway log
  • uplink messages missing from AWS despite being confirmed on the gateway log

Do you have any debugging advice?

Hello @instacto,

  • We have bug that our software team is still investigating
  • This is a warning, the baqsicstation will work though that warning. We are looking to solve this.

Well, this is new . Can you provide me logs from the gateway and from AWS where these messages are shown?

Best Regards

Please disregard - this was a configuration error on my part. Thanks for the insight into the first two notes!
