After two long days of research, partially succeeding but ultimately failing to achieve my goal, I have to resort to making a post.
First, some information: I am using CS Gateway OS on a Raspberry Pi 3b with a Waveshare SX1302 868 HAT.
I am trying to create different channels than the ones in the LoRaWAN specification for an experiment for my master’s thesis. I am keeping the three standard channels (8681000000, 868300000, and 868500000) but discarding the others. Additionally, I want to add channels at 867187500, 867512500, 867837500, and 869850000. These channels should all support DR 0-7.
Now, why I am posting this in the concentratord topic:
I succeeded in creating these channels on my network server:
However, when sending messages from my end device, only those messages sent on the three standard channels are recognized. All others don’t get recognized.
Therefore, I suspect that in concentratord, I have to change the configuration so that the hardware listens on these channels. I tried to modify the concentratord.toml file, but when I SSH into my Pi and do this:
chirpstack-concentratord-sx1302 --config /etc/chirpstack-concentratord/sx1302/configs/conce
ntratord.toml
I get the following output:

I think I am on the wrong track but after these two days of trial and error (and learning a lot!) I need help. Maybe I have written/edited the wrong .toml-file but I don’t know where to look next.
Thanks for your help in advance!
Here is my config file for concentratord:
