Conduit Manual Join to SX1276 MBED (Third party device)

Hello:
I am using the mLinux Conduit, trying to add a third party device to the network manually (my SX1276 MBED shield module). I have double checked that every key is the same, but I still get a “read(net): Connection Refused” after I try a ‘node add’. Does anyboday have any tips they could give me or point me in the right direction?
The code I am using on my 3rd party device is an example directly from the manufacturer( ).
If somebody has also had success with the SX1276 I would appreciate any comments you may have!
Thanks!,
-Ed
I forgot to mention the code I am using on the SX1276 is (https://developer.mbed.org/teams/Semtech/code/LoRaWAN-lmic-app/).
Here is my mLinux configuration file:
GNU nano 2.2.5 File: lora-network-server.conf { "db": "/var/config/lora/lora-network-server.db", "backupInterval": 21600, /* DB write interval (seconds) */ "lora": { "netID": "010203", /* netID for beacon packets */ "frequencyBand": "915", /* US="915", EU="868" */ "frequencySubBand": 7, /* Sub-band for US operation, 1-8 */ "rx1DatarateOffset": 0, /* Datarate offset for mote rx window 1 s$ "rx2Datarate": 12, /* Datarate for mote rxwindow 2 $ "maxTxPower": 14, /* Max Tx power (dBm), -6 to 26 */ "frequencyEU": 867500000 /* center freq for extra EU channels (Hz$ }, "udp": { "appPortUp": 1784, /* port for user-developed application use */ "appPortDown": 1786 /* port for user-developed application use */ }, "addressRange": { "start": "00:00:00:01", /* address range used for mDots */ "end": "FF:FF:FF:FE" }, "network": { "public": true, /* set to false for private LoRa network with $ "leasetime": 1440, /* time until mDot join expires (minutes) */ "name": "LORA", /* configure network security */ "passphrase": "LORA" }, "mqtt" : { "enabled": true, /* set to true to publish/subscribe to MQTT serv$ "host": "127.0.0.1", "port": 1883 }, "log" : { "console" : true, "syslog" : false, "level" : 30, /* error=10, warn=20, info=30, debug=50, trace=60, $ "path": "/var/log/lora-network-server.log" } }Sure!
Here was my first try with the original info:
node add 12345678 0000000000000000 0123456789ABCDEF 2b7e151628aed2a6abf7158809cf4f3c 2b7e151628aed2a6abf7158809cf4f3cI also tried the following (changing all data on the SX1276) just to rule out stuff like endiannes:
node add 33333333 ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff afafafafafafafafafafafafafafafaf afafafafafafafafafafafafafafafafI am not sure about the command to connect to the command port. I did
'nc -u localhost 6677'after connecting to the Conduit by SSH.Thank you!
Hi Jason:
Thanks, I have checked your comments. I did write the nc -u localhost 6677 correctly on my code, I mispelled it on this post (sorry). I will change the network name and passphrase (but aren’t they for OTA?). When I do “ps -A | grep lora” nothing is happening! I believe Lora is not running. I did “/etc/init.d/lora-network-server restart” and got the following:
Stopping lora-network-server: start-stop-daemon: warning: failed to kill 1145: No such process OK Found lora card MTAC-LORA-915 Starting lora-network-server: OKThen I did “ps -A | grep lora” but nothing appears on screen.
Another thing to do is check that the lora-network-server.conf file is in proper form. You can copy and paste the contents to jsonlint.com to verify it is still in json format. Fix any errors and copy/paste the file back.
Hi Jason:
Thank again for your ligthning fast responses!

It seems it did not like the comments that the file had, so I removed them until I got no errors. Here is the conf file I am using now:

root@mtcdt:/var/config/lora# /etc/init.d/lora-network-server stop Stopping lora-network-server: start-stop-daemon: warning: failed to kill 1100: No such process OK root@mtcdt:/var/config/lora# /etc/init.d/lora-network-server start Found lora card MTAC-LORA-915 Starting lora-network-server: OK root@mtcdt:/var/config/lora#I still believe the process may not be starting correctly!
Thanks!
