Multitech Conduit mLinux 5.0 cannot connect Thething

[locnp@digisensor-co-ltd.com]

Hi all,

Hi,

After update mlinux upto 5.0 I cannot connect thething. Thething status is “not connect”.

Multitech conduit mlinux return:

//////////////////////////////
Description (from TTN):
Frequency plan (from TTN): IN_865_867

Is the information correct?
1) Yes
2) No
#? 1
Stopping existing forwarder
Stopping ttn-packet-forwarder: start-stop-daemon: warning: failed to kill 1350: No such process
killall: mp_pkt_fwd: no process killed
OK
Get up-to-date TTN configuration for packet forwarder
installer.sh: line 822: node: command not found
Starting ttn-packet-forwarder: OK
The installation is now complete.
Check the gateway output using:
tail -f /var/log/lora-pkt-fwd.log
(It might take some minutes for the first output to appear!)
Check the gateways last seen status in the TTN console after
a few minutes to verify the setup is working correctly

It does not appear that the TTN installer currently has support for mlinux 5.0.0. This would need to be provided by TTN.

Also the mlinux-factory-image should be used as it has support for nodejs.

installer.sh: line 822: node: command not found

The device should be downgraded to a version supported by TTN or the TTN installer not used until it is supported.

Otherwise you could install the mlinux-factory-image 5.0.0 or AEP 5.0.0 and use the already installed Semtech packet forwarder to connect to TTN.

Conduit AEP: Convert to Basic Packet Forwarder

AEP would be easiest to configure, there is a dropdown and region selector.

Replace the server information in the configurations above with the TTN info according to your region.

“server_address”: “router.as1.thethings.network”,
“serv_port_up”: 1700,
“serv_port_down”: 1700,

Hi,

What is the logic of dropdown with PACKET FORWARDER > Server
> Network > “The Things Network” .. if it’s necessary to install the file “install.sh” from ttn ?

[Jason Reiss]

It is not necessary to install the TTN forwarder.

Check “I’m using the legacy packet forwarder” in TTN when registering the gateway.
