Gateway up or down about rfm69-mqtt-client HOT 2 CLOSED

I am using an Mqtt client (lens) in chrome browser to send status request messages to the gateway. The documentation on the gateway covers how to do that.

Hi, how do you know if the gateway is up or down?
i can't ping the gateway, and the gateway seem didnt implement reconnect if the connection(LAN) is disconnected

You should be able to ping the LAN-connection of your gateway. If this is not the case, do you have a link-indicator on your ethernet port ? Is your MAC-adrress (as defined in the sketch) unique in your network?
If the ethernet port is up, the MQTT LED will indicate connection to you broker. In debug mode, a connection message will be present on the serial port. A MQTT client (I use myMQTT on Android) can be used to detect messages. (subscribe to home/rfm_gw/# )
