Femto gateway to Chirpstack support

Viewed 43

Hi, i tried to connect a LoRa node to Chirpstack through femto gateway. Due to the topic prefix difference in data transmission between them, so i use the translator to bridge them. AFter running the bridge in python, the chirpstack is able to receive the data and plot the "Received grapgh" and update the status (last seen), meanwhile i could see no data has been transmitted, in parallel, Live LoRaWAN Frame is still empty with the loading icon. over the time, the received packets has increased and the transmitted remains zero. I would like to ask if anyone has experience the same situation ?
Thank you.

I think first of all it would be good to confirm what software you are running on the gateway. There are two strategies, you run the ChirpStack MQTT Forwarder on the gateway, or you run the ChirpStack Gateweay Bridge on a VM and you configure your gateway to forward to it (UDP Packet Forwarder or Basics Station).

In both the MQTT Forwarder and Gateway Bridge, you can configure the MQTT topic prefix, thus there is no need to implement a bridge service in e.g. Python.

Thank You Orne, i will try the second proposal
