ParticipantDear Support team,
After reading all the topics on the forum, documentation, and spending the whole day trying to access the device, I decided to create this post.
I have a brand new LoRaWAN Gateway MTCDTIP-L4E1-279L-868 DOM:2020.01.21, that I bought a year ago. I could not have the time for using this specific device until now.
To my surprise, the device is unresponsive. My computer has IP 192.168.2.20. However, I receive nothing when I ping 192.168.2.1
I also cannot ssh the device.The device has a solid green PR light on. The ST light is solid red with a hearth-bit blinking on green (without affecting the red light).
I tried many many times to reset to factory defaults. 3, 5, 30, 45, 60, 120 seconds… no way. On all the trials over the 30 seconds, it happens that the ST red light turns off, while the green heart beating remains blinking for a couple of seconds. Then, all the three lights (PR green + ST green and red) go on solid for about 30 seconds. after that, the heartbeat starts again. I monitor the network with a constant ping that is never responded.
I have a TFTP server running on my computer publishing a folder with two identical files in it: https://webfiles.multitech.com/wireless/mLinux/mLinux%205.3.31/MTCDT/mlinux-commissioning-image-mtcdt-upgrade.bin
The same file is also published with the name oe_uImage.binI also copied the file oe_uImage.bin into a USB-Memory that I connected to the USB port of the Gateway with the hope it could be read and flash the new firmware image after a reboot.
I connected a double USB-A cable to my computer. I also connected a phone with OTG cable. None of those devices detected anything on the USB port.
On one of the resetting tries, the device started to respond to the pings. I was able to log in using ssh. The connection was super laggy at that time. The ping-response took almost a second, while there were many pings lost. Anyway, I was able to execute a couple of commands before the device kicked me out. Unfortunately, this happened only once.
See below the log of that ocassion:mtcdt:/etc$ cat ./version 20191018234646 mtcdt:/etc$ top top - 23:21:34 up 14 min, 1 user, load average: 1.02, 1.01, 0.71 Tasks: 86 total, 1 running, 85 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie %Cpu(s): 1.3 us, 3.2 sy, 0.0 ni, 95.5 id, 0.0 wa, 0.0 hi, 0.0 si, 0.0 st KiB Mem : 252568 total, 219528 free, 17940 used, 15100 buff/cache KiB Swap: 0 total, 0 free, 0 used. 227956 avail Mem PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 1219 mtadm 20 0 3044 1464 1124 R 4.1 0.6 0:00.78 top 1 root 20 0 1744 704 636 S 0.0 0.3 0:07.46 init 2 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 kthreadd 3 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 ksoftirqd/0 5 root 0 -20 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 kworker/0:0H 7 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 rcu_preempt 8 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 rcu_sched 9 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 rcu_bh 10 root 0 -20 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 lru-add-drain 11 root rt 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 watchdog/0 12 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.07 kdevtmpfs 13 root 0 -20 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 netns 14 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 khungtaskd 15 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 oom_reaper 16 root 0 -20 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 writeback 17 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 kcompactd0 18 root 0 -20 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 crypto 19 root 0 -20 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 bioset 20 root 0 -20 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 kblockd 21 root 0 -20 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 watchdogd 22 root 20 0 0 0 0 D 0.0 0.0 0:00.41 kworker/0:1 23 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 kswapd0 47 root 0 -20 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 bioset 48 root 0 -20 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 bioset 49 root 0 -20 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 bioset 50 root 0 -20 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 bioset 51 root 0 -20 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 bioset 52 root 0 -20 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 bioset 53 root 0 -20 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 bioset 54 root 0 -20 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 bioset 55 root 0 -20 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 bioset 56 root 0 -20 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 bioset 57 root 0 -20 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 bioset 58 root 0 -20 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 bioset 59 root 0 -20 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 bioset mtcdt:/etc$ ps aux USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND root 1 0.8 0.2 1744 704 ?

THank you for taking the time reading this long report. And thank you in advance for helping me to solve this issue.

Thank you for your help.

ModeratorHi Sebastian
Can you provide the make/model of the POE Injector you are using to power the MTCDTIP-L4E1-270-868 Gateway.
May 4, 2022 at 10:56 am #32700ParticipantHi Steve,
Thank you for your response. The following are the details of the PoE injector that I am using with the Gateways.
Microsemi
Power over Ethernet Midspan
Model: PD-9501GC/AC
INPUT: 100-240 VAC – 50/60 Hz, 1.5A
OUTPUT: 55V – 1.1ABy the way, I have two of these PoE’s. However, it seems to me that one of these does not work (always blinking in Orange). Thus, I am using the same PoE for all my three GW. One at a time, of course.
With best regards
Sebastian
May 4, 2022 at 3:06 pm #32717ModeratorSebastian
Just a note….for most all of our POE powered Conduit Gateways a 30 Watt POE Injector is recommended.
However you do have the V2.1 Geolocation model that consumes more power than any of our other Gateways.
For the V2.1 model MTCDT-L4E1-270L-868 a 75 Watt POE Injector is recommended.
I notice that the PD-9501GC/AC is rated at 60 Watts.May 5, 2022 at 8:42 am #32722ParticipantDear Steve,
I understand that the PoE injector that I am using could not be delivering the recommended power for this model of devices. However, I find curious that I am using the very same PoE injector to powerise others V2.1 devices. Those devices are able to answer PING on 192.168.2.1
Do you really think that the PoE injector could be the cause of not being able to answer ping? I doubt it, considering that the other devices are working. I would like to explore other solutions while I order a 75W PoE.
Thank you for working together.
With best regards

May 5, 2022 at 12:19 pm #32725ModeratorHi Sebastian
Based on LED and device behavior I also doubt that the POE Injector is the cause for the no Ping response.
Since the behavior of this device is not consistent with other working units, sounds like a Support Ticket should be created to have this Gateway looked at.-Best Regards

ParticipantHi Sebastian
Did you get a resolution / fix for this problem?
I received a MTCDTIP-L4E1-266A-868 yesterday and have exactly the same issue. I’m unable to connect to the web management interface on https://192.168.2.1 via a browser when directly connected via ethernet and setting my PC to 192.168.2.2/24 Gateway 192.168.2.1.
I have managed to connect via the micro USB on the main board and using Putty via a serial connection get onto the Linux OS, I changed the /etc/network/interfaces to DHCP and rebooted, I can now see the Multitech on my home network and it has an address from my DHCP of 192.168.5.101/24 but I still can’t connect to the web management interface.
It’s like the port isn’t open, or the management interface web server isn’t running or something.
Also tried factory reset, still nothing.
Serial number 21874725
May 13, 2022 at 4:15 am #32756ParticipantHi Nick,
I am sorry to hear that you are facing similar problems. However, your case seems to be different. I cannot even ping the device. I have been suggested to fill a Technical Support ticket. That I will do soon.
Your descriptions suit better the issues I have with a second device. It is described on http://www.multitech.net/developer/forums/topic/mtcdtip-l4e1-279l-868-gw1-unable-to-factory-reset/#post-32721 . I am still waiting for an answer on this.
By the way, how did you manage to connect the micro-USB port? I guess you opened the device’s case, right?
With best regards
Sebastian
May 13, 2022 at 5:02 am #32759ParticipantHi Sebastian,
Thanks for the reply, yes I can ping the device and SSH onto it using the mtadm / root credentials that Steve detailed in your other thread.
I still can’t get to the web management interface, think I will get a ticket logged.
Yes, to connect to the micro-USB I opened the case.
Kind regards,
NickMay 13, 2022 at 1:32 pm #32763ModeratorStrange that you have a login issue with these new Gateways.
The Gateway as a DHCP Server out of the box, it should be as easy as browsing to https://192.168.2.1
Alternatively configuring your NIC to be on the same subnet works equally as well.
When ready, you may create a support ticket to have MultiTech further analyze.-Best Regards
