Sub-G environment, mesh network could not work, scan fail

Mbed OS
1

I use “mbed-os-example-client” and keep scan no beacon.
and gateway bin is “gateway6LoWPANStatic.bin”

Here is my device
Gateway: FIREFLY 6LOWPAN GATEWAY 900MHZ
Mesh_6lowpan_ND: FRDM-K64F board + mbed 6LoWPAN shield (AT86RF212B)

I think my Gateway has already up, here is the bootstrap ready log

=====End 6lowpan_ND log==========

and to the mbed_app.json, i have done the follow modified,

"network-interface":{
    "help": "options are ETHERNET,WIFI,MESH_LOWPAN_ND,MESH_THREAD",
    "value": "MESH_LOWPAN_ND"
},

    "mbed-mesh-api.6lowpan-nd-channel-page": 2,
    "mbed-mesh-api.6lowpan-nd-channel": 1,
    "mbed-trace.enable": 1

Which is following the sub-G settings,

Do anyone know how could i let them connect in mesh?
Thanks~

Do you have a specific reason why you are using the static binary? In 95% of the cases you’d want dynamic.

@janjongboom I think same issue was also reported in Github. Probably some of the team mates of @geniuslou

The problem actually was with rf-shield not with the software. They had a faulty shield. That particular issue is marked as resolved.
