Class C Device Downlink Not Sending Immediately #694

Description

@zackkit

Hi I am running a Chirpstack server 4.9.0 and cannot send downlinks to a class C device immediately after the 1st uplink.
I enabled the Class C option under the device profile.
My downlink will only be sent right after an uplink, which is a class a behavior.

The JoinAccept and the first confirmed uplink is 2 seconds apart, is this a problem?

What do I miss to enable a Class C device?

Here is the detail of my first confirmed uplink:
