akarunakaran@mindlogic.comHi,
I am having trouble starting the packet forwarder using the web interface.
the status is always no matter how many times i restart or save and restart. Can someone help me out with this issue?

Darrik SpaudeHi,
You could try accessing the Conduit via SSH and try the following instructions:
1) To see why the packet forwarder is not getting started, look at output of forwarder when run from the command line:
# /etc/init.d/lora-network-server stop
# cd /var/run/lora/1/
# ./lora_pkt_fwd
See troubleshooting guide in Downloads on this page.
2) Try to manually reload the FPGA firmware. If this is not functioning as shown below, then there is a hardware issue:
# mts-io-sysfs store lora/creset 0
# mts-io-sysfs show lora/cdone
0 <<-- Expected output
# mts-io-sysfs store lora/creset 1
# mts-io-sysfs show lora/cdone
1 <<-- Expected output
akarunakaran@mindlogic.comHi,
Thanks for the response. I trid running the above steps and i got the below response.

akarunakaran@mindlogic.comI tried changing the global_config.json file but still getting the same erroe.Can you please help me out with this?
akarunakaran@mindlogic.com.
akarunakaran@mindlogic.comI used sudo and was able to start the concentrator manually.
sudo ./lora_pkt_fwd
I have installed LoRa gateway bridge in my system and to make sure the packet forwarder send data to the bridge i used the below command
sudo tcpdump -AUq port 1700
but no response. I followed the below link for trouble shooting
