Be sure to check log files to see what is happening. Logs can be found on the
283+
gateway in the directory `/var/log/`.
284+
285+
Also, if the gateway seems to be running, but no statistics are
286+
appearing in lora-app-server, you may be experiencing a known bug with the
287+
Multitech packet forwarding code. On these systems, we need to swap out the
288+
application that runs for packet formwarding. The following should resolve the issue:
289+
```
290+
$ cd /opt/lora
291+
$ mv basic_pkt_fwd-usb basic_pkt_fwd-usb.orig
292+
$ ln -s gps_pkt_fwd-usb basic_pkt_fwd-usb

```

Once these steps have been performed, reboot.
