NNIONGIN Applications LED Indicators NNIONGIN has totally four LEDs, They are: ➢ Power LED : This RED LED will be solid on if the device is properly powered. ➢ LoRa LED : This RGB LED will blink GREEN when LoRaWAN module starts or transmit a packet.
Alternatively, connect the NNIONGIN Ethernet port to your router and NNIONGIN can obtain an IP address from your router. In the router’s management portal, you should be able to find what IP address the router has assigned to the NNIONGIN. You can also use this IP to connect. 9 / 48...
2.1.3 Connect via WiFi with DHCP IP from router If the NNIONGIN already connect to the router via WiFi, use can use the WiFi IP to connect to NNIONGIN. 2.1.4 Connect via Ethernet with fall back ip The WAN port also has a fall back ip address for access if user doesn’t connect to uplink router.
Use WAN port to access Internet By default, the NNIONGIN is set to use the WAN port to connect to an upstream network. When you connect the NNIONGIN’s WAN port to an upstream router, NNIONGIN will get an IP address from the router and have Internet access via the upstream router.
Access the Internet as a WiFi Client. In the WiFi Client Mode, NNIONGIN 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 &...

Can I make my own firmware for the gateway, Where can I find the source code? Yes, You can make your own firmware for the NNIONGIN for branding purposes or to add customized applications. Can I use 868Mhz version for 915Mhz bands? It is possible but the distance will be very short, you can select US915 frequency band in 868Mhz version hardware.
The NNIONGIN 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 NNIONGIN no matter what the WiFi IP is. The fall back IP is useful for connecting and debug the unit.
I connect to the NNIONGIN’s SSID but NNIONGIN 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.
