Multitech Conduit Gateway

Hi,

I’m trying to register my Multitech MTCDT gateway (s/n: 19196357) but run into some trouble. It said that the serial number is already on the network and won’t let me proceed the registration.

This gateway was previously registered and then removed. How can we “re-register” this gateway and put it back on dashboard?

Please help. Thanks.
Charlie

Hi Charlie,

I’ve checked that gateway for you and we put in place a security measure that a gateway must be marked specifically to be re-registered on the back end. I’ve since done this for you and should be able to proceed successfully.

Please reach out if you still encounter issues

Hi Craig,

I just tried and still had trouble registering it. Please see the screenshot.

Regards,
Charlie

Hi Charlie,

That’s because it’s currently registered under another account. Please reach out to support@senetco.com to resolve this or contact the current user that has this gateway registered in order to release it

Hi Craig,

Can you provide me the email of the account where this gateway is registered under. I can try to reach out to that person.

Thanks,
Charlie

Hi Charlie,

We cannot provide user email addresses on a public forum. Please contact support@senetco.com for that.

Hi Craig,

I was able to register the gateway under my account.

One quick question, can you provide me the instructions on setting up the Multitech gateway?

Thanks!

Craig,

The gateway status shows “offline” even though we are able to ping out to google website. But when I tried to ping reg.senetco.io website, it cannot reach it.

Can you help?

Charlie

Hi Charlie,

You can find the setup instructions for all our supported gateways on our documentation site here https://docs.senetco.io. For the multitech you can find those instructions here https://docs.senetco.io/dev/gw/MultitechConduit/

Regarding the failed pings, you will also find the list of required ports that need to be open in order for the gateway to communicate with the network at the bottom of this page https://docs.senetco.io/dev/gw/#supported-gateways

Hi Craig,

Is the installation of Senet gateway software the same for AEP conduit using the mLinux command or it’s different? The model I have is 210A and I receive an error message about invalid device or hardware detected. Do you have any suggestion?

Charlie

Charlie,

If your browse the documentation you’ll find the AEP installation procedure here https://docs.senetco.io/dev/gw/MultitechConduitAEP/

If you send the error you receive to support@senetco.io we can help you further

Hi Charles,

That error is because you are using a USB LoRa accessory card. That antenna card is no longer support by MultiTech and we have stopped supporting it since v4.0. https://www.multitech.com/models/94557300LF

Your options are to either obtain an spi accessory card or downgrade the gateways firmware to something before v4.0. Obtaining a new spi card is much easier.

Hi Craig,

Thanks for the info. We try a different conduit and it seems to work fine.
