29 This is a standard LoRaWAN connection. Gateway will forward all end nodes' data to LoRaWAN server. The LoRaWAN server stores the sensor data and communicate with Application server. The Application server in charge for data process for different industrial solutions.

63 Please note LoRaWAN server is for managing device and store sensor data, you still need to link the LoRaWAN server to an application server for your IoT solution to better analize the data and show to final clients.

67 = 4. Case 3: Standard LoRaWAN connection~-~- use Gateway built-in LoRaWAN server to connect to external IoT server =
68
69
70 (% style="color:blue" %)**Application Scenario**:
71
72 * There is already IoT server but no LoRaWAN server.

80 * LoRaWAN Gateway model: [[LPS8v2>>doc:Main.User Manual for All Gateway models.HP0C.WebHome]].
81
82
83
84 (% style="color:blue" %)**How it works:**
85
86 * a) LPS8v2 already includes a LoRaWAN server (TTN Stack v3). Enable this server in Web UI.
87
88 * b) Input End Nodes keys in LPS8v2 LoRaWAN server.
89
90 * c) Configure LPS8v2, End Node and LoRaWAN server frequency plan.
91
92 * d) Configure local LoRaWAN server to forward data to external Application Server.

139 (% style="color:blue" %)**How it works:**
140
141 * a) LoRaWAN End Nodes runs ABP mode
142
143 * b) No LoRaWAN server involved.
144
145 * c) Gateway stores keys from node and decode end nodes' data locally
146
147 * d) Gateway sends end node data to Application Server.
