Microchip Gateway connection

Gateways
1

Hello everyone,

I am having problems setting up a Microchip Gateway in order to connect to loraserver. I was using an old version of this server before, and never had problems, and I can connect to The Things Network too, but after upgrading loraserver the Gateway never goes online.
I set up the gateway as in the following picture

since running docker inspect on the gateway bridge I get

“Aliases”: [
“gatewaybridge”,
“aba9f14b81d9”
],
“NetworkID”: “f30909fa801932c1fdcc0c720bb951988b1767051d5171324689dfea8bb5aa35”,
“EndpointID”: “a09eb0929ed98e30c028315de5bccfb032462b4c11fe1686f5a65019518e0551”,
“Gateway”: “172.19.0.1”,
“IPAddress”: “172.19.0.3”,

“IPv6Gateway”: “”,
“GlobalIPv6Address”: “”,
“GlobalIPv6PrefixLen”: 0,
“MacAddress”: “02:42:ac:13:00:03”,
“DriverOpts”: null

And on loraserver

“Aliases”: [
“loraserver”,
“e532b3549021”

“NetworkID”: “f30909fa801932c1fdcc0c720bb951988b1767051d5171324689dfea8bb5aa35”,

“Gateway”: “172.19.0.1”,
“IPAddress”: “172.19.0.5”,
“IPPrefixLen”: 16,
“IPv6Gateway”: “”,
“GlobalIPv6Address”: “”,
“GlobalIPv6PrefixLen”: 0,
“MacAddress”: “02:42:ac:13:00:05”,
“DriverOpts”: null

I set up the gateway on the lora-app-server with the MAC equal to the Gateway ID

Do you have any idea about what I am doing wrong?

https://www.loraserver.io/lora-gateway-bridge/install/debug/ could be a good starting point for debugging your issue :slight_smile:

Hi Brocaar, thank you very much for your help.

I tried to run the debug, but being my gateway unable to connect to the server, I cannot see any logs or packets going through…

Am I missing something? Am I setting the wrong Core Board, Network Router and server IP on the Microchip Gateway, or there is another way to retrieve those than looking at the inspect of the containers?

HI Bilal,
Did you ever get your Microchip LoRa Gateway working with Chirpstack?

Thanks Rob
