Using mDot without Multitech Conduit

[Oliver]

Hello, I just wanted to get a bit of clarification.
My understanding was that the mDot (or any Lora module for that matter) was able to connect to any Lora Gateway. In my readings i’ve found multiple sources saying that the mDot is designed to work with the Multitech Conduit only.
Is this correct? Or am i able to connect the mDot to any (For instance, while testing – a raspberry pi) gateway, and then connect to TTN.

Thank you
Oliver

The xDot and mDot are LoRaWAN certified end-devices. They can connect with any LoRaWAN Network. By default the latest firmwares should be able to join a public network after setting the AppEUI/JoinEUI (AT+NI) and AppKey (AT+NK).

Can you share any of the multiple sources so we can work to correct this?

There is a private LoRaWAN MTS specific network mode with different default join delay of 1s for all plans and differing downlink channels for US/AU channel plans. This would only work with Conduits, but it is no longer the default.
