2. Access and configure LIG16 The LIG16 is configured as a WiFi Access Point by default. User can access and configure the LIG16 after connecting to its WiFi network, or via its Ethernet ports. 2.1 Find IP address of LIG16 2.1.1 Connect via WiFi...
2.1.3 Connect via WiFi with DHCP IP from router If the LIG16 already connect to the router via WiFi, use can use the WiFi IP to connect to LIG16. 2.1.4 Connect via WAN port by fall back ip The WAN port also has a fall back ip address for access if user doesn’t connect to uplink router.
2.2 Access Configure Web UI Web Interface Open a browser on the PC and type the LIG16 ip address (depends on your connect method) http://10.130.1.1/ (Access via LIG16’s WiFi AP network) IP_ADDRESS http://IP_ADDRESS or http:// :8000 (If the IP is assigned by uplink router) You will see the login interface of LIG16 as shown below.
3.2 Use WAN port to access Internet By default, LIG16 is set to use the WAN port to connect to an upstream network. When you connect the LIG16’s WAN port to an upstream router, LIG16 will get an IP address from the router and have Internet access via the upstream router.
3.3 Access Internet as a WiFi Client. In the WiFi Client Mode, LIG16 acts as a WiFi client and gets DHCP from an upstream router via WiFi. System → WiFi → WiFi WAN Client Settings The settings for WiFi Client is under page In the WiFi Survey Choose the WiFi AP, and input the Passphrase then click Save &...

In the home page, we can see the LoRaWAN connection is ready now. Check Result After above settings, the LIG16 should be able to connect to TTN, below is the result seen from TTN: LIG16 Indoor LoRaWAN Gateway User Manual...
4.3 Configure frequency We also need to set the frequency plan in LIG16 to match the LoRaWAN end node we use, so to receive the LoRaWAN packets from the LoRaWAN sensor. In logread page, user can check the frequency actually used.
After doing above LIG16 will be able to act as LoRaWAN Gateway. Below section shows how to add a LoRaWAN End device in this LoRaWAN network and see the data from TTN. We use LT-22222-L as a reference below, for other LoRaWAN devices will be more or less the same.
Page 23
Step 2: Power on LT and it will auto join to the TTN network. After join success, it will start to upload message to TTN and user can see in the panel and analyze the data LIG16 Indoor LoRaWAN Gateway User Manual 23 / 46...
This page shows the LoRa Radio Settings. There are a set of default frequency band according to LoRaWAN protocol, and user can customize the band* as well. Different LIG16 hardware version can support different frequency range: ➢ 868: valid frequency: 863Mhz ~ 870Mhz. for bands EU868, RU864, IN865 or KZ865.
5.2.2 LoRa --> ABP Decryption(Function not ready) The LIG16 can communicate with LoRaWAN ABP End Node without the need of LoRaWAN server. It can be used in some cases such as: ▪ No internet connection. ▪ User wants to get data forward in gateway and forward to their server based on MQTT/HTTP, etc.
