LPS8 LoRaWAN Gateway User Manual 34 / 37
9.3 I configured LPS8 for WiFi access and lost its IP. What to do now?
The LPS8 has a fall-back IP address on its WAN port. This IP is always enabled so you can use the
fall-back IP to access LPS8 no matter what the WiFi IP is. The fall back IP is useful for connecting
and debug the unit.
(Note: fallback IP can be disabled in the WAN and DHCP page)
Steps to connect via fall back IP:
1. Connect PC’s Ethernet port to LG01’s WAN port
2. Configure PC’s Ethernet port has
IP: 172.31.255.253 and
Netmask: 255.255.255.252
As below photo:
3. In the PC, use IP address 172.31.255.254 to access the LPS8 via Web or Console.
Please note the latest firmware has use port 8000 for http and 2222 for ssh access.
9.4 I connect to the LPS8’s SSID but LPS8 didn’t assign DHCP IP to my laptop?
This is a known bug for the firmware version before 2019-09-23 for LPS, the issue was fixed since
version: LG02_LG08--build-v5.2.1569218466-20190923-1402.
In the old version, user can use the fall back ip method to access and configure the device.
