I have multitech gateway ip67, MTCDTIP model. origannaly the device come with mpower firmware, then I flash it to mlinux 5.2.7 . I am trying to flash mpower firmware on it but it does not change. The gateway remain on the mlinux 5.2.7 version firmware.
how I did it :
1- I downloaded the compressed file of mpower firmware located on this URL http://www.multitech.net/developer/downloads/
firmware: MTCDT 5.2.1 (signed firmware) with Release Notes
I transfer the file name as :MTCDT_5.2.1_upgrade-signed.bin from my computer to the gateway then i copy it to the directory /var/volatile/flash-upgrade.
sudo touch /var/volatile/do_flash_upgrade
sudo reboot
where is the problem? why the firmware does not change? please, help .
regards
I think it would be better to ask this in the Multitech support channels

Thanks brocaar . .
please, I have question about chirpstack configuration:
I need to receive data from sensor node to chirpstack application server. I installed the packet forwarder and chirpstack-gateway-bridge on multitech following the instruction in this url:
https://www.chirpstack.io/gateway-bridge/gateway/multitech/
Therefore, I installed chirpstack-gateway-bridge and chirpstack-network-server and chirpstack-application-server on my laptop following the instructions on this urls respectively.:
https://www.chirpstack.io/gateway-bridge/install/debian/
https://www.chirpstack.io/network-server/install/debian/
https://www.chirpstack.io/application-server/overview/
However, I can not see my gateway online on the application server, also I do not see my sending data on the chirpstack-network-server although I verified the log file an found no error
so where is the problem in this case?
Best Regards
Choose one of them, not both, and configure bridge regarding your choice.
@eugenev
Thanks a lot for response eugenev …
The problem that when I do not install the gateway bridge on gateway, and verify the ping (chirpstack gateway bridge, I can not see it receiving data from packet forwarder ( tested by ping) . on another side, when chirpstack installed on gateway, and verify receiving data, it seems work.
and based on what you comment " Choose one of them, not both, and configure bridge regarding your choice" . It seems a configuration problem, so what it the key configuration part that responsible on such things. the key configuration among all these component:
frome packet forwarder --> chirpstack-gateway-bridge --> chirpstack-network server --> chirpstack-application-server .
- The packet forwarder is installed on the gateway itself.
- suppose that chirpstack-gateway-bridge not on the gateway itself but on the laptop.
thus, what is the key configure 1 with 2.
- cirpstack-network-server on the laptop.
thus, what is the key configure 2 with 3
- chirpstack-application-server on the laptop.
thus, what is the key configure 3 and 4.
The gateway I use is multitech, and it is accessed to the internet by dhcp, and have an ip-address from the router 192.168. . .
pls help , I highly appraciate…
@IOTchirp lets not mix different questions in a single topic to keep the forum organized I don’t think the above question is related to the Mpower firmware installation.
you are right brocaar … I am going to open new topic on a proper forum
