Connecting Gateway OS to TTN using Lora Basics

So this might be a bit of a stupid question, but is it possible to use the Chirpstack Gateway OS to connect a single gateway to TTN via the Lora Basics protocol?

I just bought a Dragino PG1302 concentrator and raspberry pi hat to connect to my Pi 4 and installed Gateway OS onto it. The Gateway OS seems to run nicely but I can’t seem to find much documentation on how to actually connect it to a network server, whether it’s chirpstack or not. The only 2 options I see is the MQTT forwarder and UDP forwarder. Do I need the gateway bridge?

Hi ,

working on the same!

do you got any lead ??

I’m very new and I’m at about the same point - I keep digging through the forum and v4 documents and I think I come up with more additional questions that I do answers. HA

I’m as of now my Setup is a Rpi 3B+ | Waveshare SX1302 Hat w/ SX1303

I flashed the ChripstackOS

Says my Gateway is Online but when I get to the Gateway-Bridge Step, I can’t seem to find the gateway bridge in the CLI to even add/edit and config file

Does in need to be installed like the Raspberry Pi instructions say? If so, my I get -ash: apt: not found

If you happen to figure it out, please keep us posted as I will do the same

Hi,

Have you worked on AWS LoraWAN ? with respect to chirpstack OS ?

or any LNS to be connected to Chirpstack OS but with authentication !!

The ChirpStack Gateway OS does not provide the Basics Station forwarder. However, you could use the UDP Forwarder to forward data to TTN.

but there will be no authentication ?
what if I wan authentication ! either API key or anything else ??

This is not the right place to look for support with gateway configuration for TTN. You should try the TTN forum.

You may need to use something that isn’t ChirpStack OS.

But is it possible ?

to connect gateway to TTN with authentication in chirpstack-OS!
