LPS8 LoRaWAN Gateway User Manual      53 / 55 
 
10.3   I configured LPS8N for WiFi access and lost its IP. What to do now?  
 
 
The LPS8N 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 LPS8N 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

3.  In the PC, use IP address 172.31.255.254 to access the LPS8N via Web or Console.  
Please note the latest firmware uses port 8000 for http and 2222 for ssh access.
