LPB 2.0 Piso WiFi Installation Guide: VLAN, Subvendo, Multi-Vendo, and PPPoE Setup

Setting up LPB Piso WiFi 2.0 on a mini PC can help operators manage multiple vending machines, configure separate network interfaces, and offer flexible WiFi rates. With features such as VLANs, sub-vendo management, coin-slot integration, and PPPoE, the system can support more advanced Piso WiFi installations.

This guide explains the main installation and configuration stages demonstrated in the tutorial, using a Dell Wyse 5070 mini PC as the example. The video references LPB 2.0 version 1.1.5.8, reported as current on February 22, 2026. Because software versions and installation requirements can change, check the official LPB documentation before starting.

LPB Piso WiFi 2.0 on a mini PC can run multiple vending points using VLANs, sub-vendo devices, and PPPoE. Install the LPB image, configure VLANs and DHCP, bind each sub-vendo, set rates, then test every point. Check official LPB documentation for your version before changing a live installation.

Requirements for LPB 2.0 Installation

Prepare the following items before installing the system:

  • A compatible mini PC, such as the Dell Wyse 5070.
  • The appropriate LPB 2.0 PC installation image.
  • A bootable USB or external drive configured with Windows To Go.
  • Win32 Disk Imager.
  • A router that can display DHCP leases.
  • Compatible ESP32-based sub-vendo devices, if required.
  • Your registered LPB account and license or trial access.

The tutorial uses Windows To Go to boot the mini PC because the Dell Wyse 5070 has limited built-in eMMC storage. It then writes the LPB image to the internal storage.

Important: Writing an image or cleaning a disk can erase existing data. Confirm the target drive carefully and back up anything important before proceeding.

Step 1: Prepare the Mini PC and Install the Image

Download the appropriate LPB 2.0 PC image from the official source and prepare the bootable external drive.

Connect the drive to the mini PC, power it on, and use the boot menu, shown as F12 in the tutorial, to select the external device. Once Windows To Go starts, open Windows Terminal or PowerShell as administrator.

The video uses DiskPart to identify the internal storage, prepare it with a GPT partition table, and create a primary partition before writing the LPB image with Win32 Disk Imager.

Take extra care here: the DiskPart clean command removes partition information from the selected disk. Selecting the wrong disk could destroy data on your USB or another drive. Consult Microsoft’s DiskPart documentation at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/diskpart if you are unfamiliar with these operations.

After the image-writing process completes, shut down the system and remove the external drive before restarting, as demonstrated in the tutorial.

Step 2: Access the LPB Admin Portal

After the mini PC boots into LPB 2.0, find its assigned IP address in your router’s DHCP lease list. The tutorial gives 192.168.106.20 as an example; your address will depend on your network.

Open that IP address in a browser. For initial activation, the tutorial uses the /admin path and asks the operator to sign in with a registered LPB account.

Complete the activation process, create a strong machine administrator password, and sign in to the dashboard. If your installation reports low storage space, follow the storage-expansion instructions supported by your specific LPB installation.

Step 3: Configure VLANs and DHCP

VLANs separate network traffic into distinct logical networks. In the demonstrated configuration, the operator creates three VLANs:

  • VLAN 13: First access point or vending network.
  • VLAN 14: Second access point or sub-vendo network.
  • VLAN 15: PPPoE service.

The tutorial enables the DHCP server for each VLAN and saves the configuration. It then configures the PPPoE service to use VLAN 15.

These VLAN IDs are examples from the video, not universal requirements. Your VLAN assignments, gateway addresses, and DHCP settings must match your actual network design. Incorrect settings can prevent devices from connecting or cause addressing conflicts.

Step 4: Register and Bind Sub-Vendo Devices

For additional vending points, configure each compatible ESP32 device using the appropriate LPB sub-vendo flashing tool. Enter the correct server address and required binding credentials.

Return to the LPB admin panel, open the coin-slot management section, and approve the detected device. Assign the correct coin-slot name and VLAN interface, then save the changes.

For example, a second vending machine might use VLAN 14 while the first uses VLAN 13. This arrangement can help organize the network, provided the hardware and configuration support it.

Step 5: Configure Coin Rates and Session Settings

Open the timer-rate settings to define the prices, session durations, expiry periods, and bandwidth limits for each service.

For example, the tutorial demonstrates sample rates such as 5 pesos for a Piso WiFi session and separate rates for Piso Net. These values are illustrative only; operators should choose rates appropriate for their costs and customers.

The video also demonstrates configuring pause time and session expiry. Before saving, verify that each rate has the intended duration, expiry, and speed settings.

Step 6: Finalize Portal Settings and Test

Review the portal settings, branding, redirect destination, and session behavior. The tutorial specifically mentions configuring automatic pause and resuming a session when a customer reconnects.

Save the settings and restart the server if required for the configuration changes to take effect. Finally, test each vending point, coin slot, VLAN, and PPPoE connection separately.

Conclusion

Installing LPB Piso WiFi 2.0 involves more than writing an image to a mini PC. Successful deployment also requires careful VLAN planning, DHCP and PPPoE configuration, sub-vendo registration, rate setup, and final connectivity testing.

Work methodically, maintain a backup, and verify version-specific instructions with the official LPB guide before changing a live installation. A correctly configured system can provide a more organized foundation for operating multiple Piso WiFi vending points.
