Ok, that is confusing.

I have just been using OTA and did not realise the difference in how you configure OTA versus ABP devices. So I guess I must have done it correctly.

You say that they joined ok though ?

You could try getting one device working reliably on your desk first and then run around and get the others working.

Hi Jason

Thanks, that was the issue. I was pulling the plug to simulate a power failure but had not had the device running long enough since the join for the DB to backup.

I assume that whilst the device was in the whitelist the latest network keys had not yet been saved so the messages were rejected.

Hi Michael
thanks, but I have added the devices on the WebUI so they are in the database

Thanks Jason. I managed to get this to work.

Just to close the loop for those who may run into this issue:

I had a mismatch on the DownlinkDwellTime settings on the MultiTech Conduit versus my LoraWAN stack (STM/Semtech). So I was not processing any downlinks at all, Mac commands included.

The Actility stack can start with DwellTime 1 on AS923 (default for Semtech stack) and then sets it to 0 with a MAC command on the first downlink. This gets the device in a better config for packet size.

The Conduit requires that the LoRaWAN settings match the stack and does not attempt to change it.

So I needed to change the AS923 regional parameters settings in the Semtech stack to DwellTime = 0 and set the Conduit accordingly.
