35.1	249
26.1	250
165.1	251	LPS8-V2 supports flexible network set up for different environment. This section describes the typical network topology can be set in LPS8-V2. The typical network set up includes:
26.1	252
165.1	253	* WAN Port Internet Mode
205.5	254
165.1	255	* WiFi Client Mode
205.5	256
165.1	257	* Cellular Mode
	258
	259	=== 2.2.2 Use WAN port to access Internet ===
	260
	261
	262	By default, the LPS8-V2 is set to use the WAN port to connect to an upstream network. When you connect the LPS8-V2's WAN port to an upstream router, LPS8-V2 will get an IP address from the router and have Internet access via the upstream router. The network status can be checked in the (% style="color:blue" %)home page(%%):

	267
	268	=== 2.2.3 Access the Internet as a WiFi Client ===
	269
	270
	271	In the WiFi Client Mode, LPS8-V2 acts as a WiFi client and gets DHCP from an upstream router via WiFi.
	272
	273	The settings for WiFi Client is under page (% style="color:blue" %)Network ~-~-> Wi-Fi

	281
	282
165.2	283	(% style="color:blue" %)Since Hardware version HP0C 1.4
165.1	284
	285	Users can see whether LPS8v2 has EC25 on the label of the gateway to determine whether there is 3G/4G Cellular modem.
	286
	287
	288	If the LPS8-V2 has 3G/4G Cellular modem, user can use it as main internet connection or back up.
	289
	290	First, install the Micro SIM card as below direction
	291
	292	Second, Power off/ ON LPS8-V2 to let it detect the SIM card.

112.1	868	This is caused by the inconsistency between the built-in TTN-Stack domain configuration and your login URL.
	869
	870	By default, ttn-stack uses the gateway's domain name for URL resolution, but in some networks, they prefer to resolve IP-v4 addresses.
	871
	872
	873	So you can change the domain name of the TTN-Stack configuration to the IPv4 address.
