22
23
24 (((
25 (((
26 The LPS8v2 is an (% style="color:blue" %)**open-source LoRaWAN Gateway**(%%). It lets you bridge LoRa wireless network to an IP network via (% style="color:blue" %)**WiFi , Ethernet or Cellular Network**(%%) (via Optional 4G module). The LoRa wireless allows users to send data and reach extremely long ranges at low data rates.
27 )))
28
29 (((
30 The LPS8v2 is fully compatible with LoRaWAN protocol. It supports different kinds of LoRaWAN Network Connections such as: (% style="color:blue" %)**Semtech UDP Packet Forwarder, LoRaWAN Basic Station, ChirpStack MQTT Bridge**(%%), and so on. This makes LPS8V2 work with most LoRaWAN platforms in the market.
31 )))
32
33 (((
34 LPS8v2 also includes a (% style="color:blue" %)**built-in LoRaWAN Server and IoT server**(%%), which provide the possibility for the system integrator to deploy the IoT service without cloud service or 3rd servers.
35 )))
36
37 (((
38 Different countries use different LoRaWAN frequency bands. LPS8v2 has these bands pre-configured. Users can also customize the frequency bands to use in their own LoRa network.

246 == 2.2  Typical Network Setup ==
247
248 === 2.2.1  Overview ===
249
250
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:
252
253 * **WAN Port Internet Mode**
254
255 * **WiFi Client Mode**
256
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**(%%):
263
264
265 [[image:image-20230411100633-2.png||height="501" width="935"]]
266
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**

277 In the WiFi Survey Choose the WiFi AP, and input the Passphrase then click(% style="color:blue" %)** Save & Apply**(%%) to connect.
278
279
280 === 2.2.4  Use built-in 4G modem for internet access ===
281
282
283 (% style="color:blue" %)**Since Hardware version HP0C 1.4**
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.
