Please note that since MTCAP 5.2.X/MTCDT 5.2.X, nothing can be executed in /tmp directory. You first need to copy to another directory e.g. /var/config/home/admin and execute the downloaded file from there.
Supported Firmware
Version 5.x.x. is supported by the LORIOT Gateway Software.
Register the gateway
Log in to the LORIOT Network Server user interface and register the gateway as a MultiTech Conduit AP.
Configure the options to select the appropriate LoRa mCard.
LORIOT Gateway Software download
Select the newly registered gateway and navigate to the "Software" menu.
Run the installer commands from the Downloads section:
Please note that in Version 5 OS user handling was changed and you have to use sudo for running the install script.
Once installed please check in the LORIOT user interface the gateway is online.
Please note that the URL will match the server you have registered the gateway, e.g. - us1.loriot.io / uk1.loriot.io / private.loriot.io
Runtime notes
The gateway binary is designed to be completely self contained, and not to modify the filesystem in any way. It doesn't write any files.
After a successful start, the gateway process will daemonize and run in background.
In some cases, the binary might fail to start, the last message saying:
ERROR: | Version of calibration firmware not expected, actual:[SOME VALUE] expected:[OTHER VALUE] |
ERROR: | lgw_start failed |
You might be running an incompatible version of the binary |
In this case, just restart or power-cycle the gateway and try again.
