lora-network-server whitelist and mote personalisation not working

[Pramod Mynampati]

Hello all,

Summary of my problem – Hoping for any insights

Hardware:
Multitech Conduit 210L MTCDT
MTAC-LORA-868

Software:
mLinux: 3.3.22
lora-network-server: 2.0.16-r2.0

Background:
1. I am currently playing with the conduit mLinux model (210L) and testing with an mbed SX1276 lora mote. I am running the mbed demo example (number 76)

2. Rather than doing the OTAA, I am doing ABP

I have added the mote deveui, appeui, appKey to the whitelist section of the config file in the server (lora-network-server.conf).

Issue:

1. I can see the packets being rxvd but I get the error of Message rejected due to unknown device.

Tried:

1. Added the mote devAddr as mentioned in the below link

Conduit mLinux: LoRa Use With Third-Party Devices

But when I do the node add command – I am getting a syntax error

So,
Have anyone tried ABP with a thrid party device before.

Any help would be appreciated

Kind Regards

To see all options for network server commands`
# lora-query -x help`

For ABP device registration first a device record is added then a session created for the device. The appeui will be attached to uplinks, the joineui is for recording purposes, it would have been sent in an OTA join.

# lora-query -x device add '{"deveui":"00-80-00-00-00-00-e1-9c","class":"C"}'

# lora-query -x session add 
'{"deveui":"00-80-00-00-00-00-1-9c","dev_addr":"00112233",
"appeui":"00-88-88-88-00-00-e1-9c","joineui":"00-99-99-99-00-00-e1-9c",
"net_id":"000017",
"app_senc_key":"531bd9c5ec5d8ba5ef3b262cebfb3e66",
"fnwk_sint_key":"531bd9c5ec5d8ba5ef3b262cebfb3e66"}'

The whitelist is for OTA devices, records in the list should be as follows:

{ "deveui": "", "appeui": "", "appkey": "", "class": "A" }

Thank you for your message.

I am able to add the device successfully, but whenever I try to add the session I fail.

I am getting ‘Failed to create session’

I tried restarting the server but I still get the same error.

[Jason Reiss]

Is the dev_addr being used by another device?

The lora-network-server log may have more details.

Hello Jason,

Thank you for your message.

I found the issue in the sense that my app eui was being set to 0.

Having fixed that – I can get the server working.

Many thanks for your patience and help

Kind Regards

Good to hear you are successfully working with the new server code.
