1. Introduction
1.1 What is LG01v2
The LG01v2 is anopen-source single channel LoRa Gateway. It lets you bridge LoRa wireless network to an
IP network via WiFi , Ethernet or Cellular Network (via Optional 4G module). The LoRa wireless allows users to
send data and reach extremely long ranges at low data rates.
LG01v2 is specially design for peer to peer LoRaprotocol instead of LoRaWAN protocol. The LG01v2 use
single channel LoRa module to minimize the deployment cost for a private p2p LoRa wireless network.
LG01v2 uses Open Source Linux system. User can modify the Linux part and develop customize software base on
it. It has 1.2Ghz Quad-Core CPU , 4GB eMMC storage and 512MB RAM for most application.
LG01v2 supports remote management. System Integrator can easy to remote monitor the gateway and
maintain it.

2. Quick Start
The LG01-V2 supports network access via Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection andruns without a network.
In most cases, the first thing you need to do is make the LG01-v2 accessible to the network.
2.1 Access and Configure LG01-v2
2.1.1 Find IP address of LG01-v2
Method 1: Connect via Ethernet with DHCP IP from the router
Connect the LG01-V2 Ethernet port to your router and LG01-V2 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 LG01-V2.
You can also use this IP to connect.
Method 2: Connect via LG01v2 Fallback IP
Steps to connect via fallback IP:
1. Connect the PC's Ethernet port to LG01v2's WAN port

2. Configure PC's Ethernet port has IP: 172.31.255.253 and Netmask: 255.255.255.252
Settings --> Network & Internet --> Ethernet --> Change advanced sharing options -->Double-
click"Ethernet" --> Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
As in the below photo:
Configure computer Ethernet port steps video:fallback ip.mp4
If you still can't access the LG01v2 fallback ip, follow this connection to debug :Trouble Shooting
3. In the PC, use IP address 172.31.255.254 to access the LG01v2 via Web or Console.

Method 3: Connect via WiFi with DHCP IP from the router
Fill in the WiFi information by checking the box and clicking Save&Apply

Troubleshooting：
1. URL does not jump properly
For the Node-Red, you can use the local IP address and the port is 1880 to access it.
4.1 Application Server -- Node-Red
You can access the gateway'sbuilt-in AS server ofNode-Redvia the URL(http://<hostname>:1880or http://
<local-IPV4-address>) in your browser.
Such ashttp://dragino-54ff12:1880 or http://<Local-IPV4-Address>

5. How to configure the Lora Gateway
5.1 Configure and Debug LoRa wireless of LG01v2
First, the user needs to access the Linux console of LG01v2 via ssh
IP address: IP address of LG01v2
Port: 22
User Name:root
Password: dragino(default)

Users can access the Lora configuration page by running the following command, then select the option ''serial
port setup":
root@dragino-2406ef:~# minicom -s
And then, change the setting:
Serial Device:/dev/ttyUSB0
Bps/Par/Bits:9600 8N1
