No data on TTN or KPN network

ONE
#1

So, Started very happy this morning, a new Sodaq One board was on my desk. I checked the TTN network and there is a gateway just around the corner.
I tried to setup the TTN network, even when debug send out ‘transmission succesful’ no data was on the TTN console.
I switched to KPN network and setup the device again. Still no data! So I must be missing something!
I also used the DevEUI instead of the KPN generated number, but nothing so far. Where does the data go?? Does a gateway even receive it? Why does the One just signals back, transmission succesful??

Here is my setup:

I used the OTAA on and off, changed spread factor and a lot of other stuff. How am I able to check where my data goes??

Kind regards,

Hi @JeroenAtWur,

With an OTAA you need to be in reach of a gateway.

Here is seems you get the get from your network provider and are able to send data to them.
Your coverage seems to be ok.

The default settings will send an unconfirmed message, the console will display that the message has been send successfully, this however does not mean the gateway has received your message.

You can enable acknowledgement by settings ack=1 in the boot menu.
With acknowledgements the device will expect a reply from the server. Here successful means you got an acknowledgement.

SF12 will give you the best coverage, this takes more air time, between messages you need to wait longer before sending a new message.

Can you turn on acknowledgements and set the SF to 12 and try again?

Best regards,
Jan

Hi @JeroenAtWur ,

Sorry for the late reply.
In the bootmenu you can enable to reconnect when there is an issue with the RN module.
retry=1

While you are in the bootmenu, send the command reset to reset the RN module manually.

Best regards,
Jan
