Title: SSH Access Denied on Ufispace / Actility LoRa Gateway – Unable to Configure with ChirpStack

Hello,

I recently purchased LoRaWAN gateways from Actility (model: GWUFI2513EU – TPE Community).

I am currently trying to integrate them with my local ChirpStack deployment.

However, I am facing an issue when attempting to connect to the gateway via SSH.

Details:

  • Gateway model: GWUFI2513EU

  • Provided credentials: BS ID, MAC, LRR-UUID, Public Key, and PWD (from Actility Excel file)

  • SSH access attempt: using PuTTY / OpenSSH

  • Result: Access denied

What I have observed:

  • The credentials provided seem to be intended for provisioning in ThingPark (Base Station registration)

  • The "Public Key" provided is not a private SSH key

  • I do not have any SSH private key or default login credentials

My questions:

  1. Are these gateways locked to the Actility / ThingPark ecosystem?

  2. Is SSH access restricted or disabled by default?

  3. Is there a way to obtain root/admin access to configure the gateway for use with ChirpStack?

  4. Do I need to flash a different firmware to use it with a local network server?

Objective:

I want to use the gateway with a local ChirpStack network server instead of ThingPark.

Any guidance or experience with this type of gateway would be highly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.
