1. Introduction
1.1 What is LIG16 Indoor LoRaWAN Gateway
The LIG16 is an open source LoRaWAN Pico Gateway. It lets you bridge LoRa wireless network to
an IP network via WiFi, Ethernet network. The LoRa wireless allows users to send data and reach
extremely long ranges at low data-rates.
The LIG16 supports Semtech packet forwarder and LoRaWAN Station connection, it is fully
compatible with LoRaWAN protocol. It includes a SX1302 LoRa concentrator, which is the new
generation baseband LoRa chip for gateway with lower current consumption and higher amount
of traffic than preceding devices.
LIG16 has pre-configured standard LoRaWAN frequency bands to use for different countries.
User can also customize the frequency bands to use in their own LoRaWAN network.
LIG16 can communicate with ABP LoRaWAN end node without LoRaWAN server. System
integrator can use it to integrate with their existing IoT Service without set up own LoRaWAN
server or use 3rd party LoRaWAN service.
LIG16 supports auto-provision for mass deployment and long term maintain. System integrator
can easily change the configure remotely.

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
At the first boot of LIG16, it will auto generate an unsecure
WiFi network call dragino-xxxxxx
the password is: dragino+dragino
User can use the laptop to connect to this WiFi network. The
laptop will get an IP address 10.130.1.xxx and the LIG16 has
the default IP 10.130.1.1
2.1.2 Connect via WAN port with DHCP IP from router
Alternatively, connect the LIG16 WAN port to your router and LIG16 will 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 LIG16. You can also use this IP to connect.
