I have updated Conduit to 1.4.16, but gateway stats still not working.

[10350 2058]

This is my gateway config. How do I solve the problem?

{
   "gateway_conf":{
      "gateway_ID":"<WILL-BE-AUTO-REPLACED-WITH-LORA-EUI>",
      "keepalive_interval":10,
      "stat_interval":30,
      "push_timeout_ms":100,
      "forward_crc_disabled":false,
      "forward_crc_error":false,
      "forward_crc_valid":true,
      "server_address":"...",
      "serv_port_up":1700,
      "serv_port_down":1700,
   }
}

Hello 10350 2058,

What is the issue and what are you trying to do?

Looks like you may be attempting to connect to the things network?
https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/docs/gateways/multitech/aep.html
https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/docs/gateways/packet-forwarder/semtech-udp.html

Basic AEP instructions.

Conduit AEP: Convert to Basic Packet Forwarder

AEP 1.4.16 has a GUI to help configure of the packet forwarder
http://www.multitech.net/developer/software/aep/lorawan-aep/lorawan-network-settings/

Select Channel Plan US915 or EU868 or Other region
Select FSB 2 if using US915
Set server address and up/down ports to the remote server.
Click Submit
Restart LoRa Services to enact changes.

Save or Save and Restart to make changes permanent.

I hid my IP address. I setup LoRa Server, and I want the gateway sends its stats every 30 secs, but my LoRa Server didn’t received. I have searched the Google, someone said packet-forwarder must have protocol version 2, but I already updated Conduit to latest version (1.4.16). How can I modify packet-forwarder protocol version?

[Jason Reiss]

What is the model of installed MTAC-LORA card?
MTAC-LORA-1.5 is required for v2 protocol packet forwarder.

AEP Dashboard lists the card information.

Accessory cards

Card 2 (AP2)
Model Number MTAC-LORA-868
Serial Number xxxxxxxx
Hardware MTAC-LORA-1.0

[10350 2058]

My card is MTAC-LORA-1.0. So the only way is replacing my LoRa card with MTAC-LORA-1.5 version?

Card 1	(AP1)
Model Number	MTAC-LORA-915
Serial Number	XXXXXXXX
Hardware	MTAC-LORA-1.0

[Jason Reiss]

Yes, that is the easiest way, USB interface to the MTAC card is not included with the updated packet forwarder using v2 protocol.

It may be possible to use a UDP bridge between the packet forwarder and network server to modify the protocol version byte to mimic v2.
The uplink and downlink UDP packets are compatible between versions. v2 has added feedback from the packet forwarder JIT queueing.

[Jason Reiss]

Otherwise if you are able to modify the lora server code to accept v1 or v2 UDP packets.

[10350 2058]

Do you mean the LoRa server’s source code or configuration file? Because I couldn’t find any tutorial about changing accepted UDP version in configuration file of LoRa server.

[Jason Reiss]

I assume it is in source code.
