    IP67 BASE STATION Chapter 1 – MultiConnect® Conduit IP67 Base Station The MultiConnect Conduit IP67 Base Station (MTCDTIP) is a LoRa IoT gateway device designed for outdoor deployments. Installation An installation guide ships with the MCDTIP and is also available at www.multitech.com...
  • Page 6 (which sends/receive packets to/from LoRa gateways) fails for V2.1 packets if the code has not been upgraded to handle them. Our MultiTech server code has not been upgraded yet, and therefore cannot be used to process LoRa V2.1 packets. Therefore, if the customer does not have additional server-layer support, the MultiTech LoRa V2.1 gateway can only be used as a packet forwarder.
